Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the leaps and overlaps of play and aesthetic activity,



across theories of feminism and posthumanism, neuroscience, ethology, pedagogy and postdevelopmental thinking, sociologies of space, game design and digital play from the very young to artist’s practice. It concludes with an entirely original exploration of dark play, and its complexities. As a series of interview or conversation pieces, key thinkers in each area of focus toy with positions around their field’s identification of play, proactively countering their Eurocentric demographic by drawing on examples of playful and arts practice/’research acts’ from as diverse a global reach as possible. Drawing on an interdisciplinary methodology including phenomenological, materialist, posthumanist and arts practice as a form of research, the book challenges and criticizes over-used or lazy applications of play and bring theories of possibility and thinking into the arena of culture within contemporary conceptual reference. Formulaic and production-led education is critiqued, arguing that to engage more fully with pedagogies of play and its in-built interdisciplinarity and criticality carries risks but with that, transformative practices.

Sommario/riassunto

Developmental projects have long been displacing people in large numbers every year, but it is only in recent years that the fate of those adversely affected has become an issue of widespread concern requiring urgent action. This volume is the scholarly exploration of these critical issues in a wider perspective, examining resettlement policies as well as resettlement strategies, their strengths, their weaknesses, the persisting gap between policy and its actual practice and the means to improve resettlement outcomes.This volume is well-structured into four parts: (a) Displace

Sommario/riassunto

On May 20, 1347, Cola di Rienzo overthrew without violence the turbulent rule of Rome's barons and the absentee popes. A young visionary and the best political speaker of his time, Cola promised



Rome a return to its former greatness. Ronald G. Musto's vivid biography of this charismatic leader-whose exploits have enlivened the work of poets, composers, and dramatists, as well as historians-peels away centuries of interpretation to reveal the realities of fourteenth-century Italy and to offer a comprehensive account of Cola's rise and fall. A man of modest origins, Cola gained a reputation as a talented professional with an unparalleled knowledge of Rome's classical remains. After earning the respect and friendship of Petrarch and the sponsorship of Pope Clement VI, Cola won the affections and loyalties of all classes of Romans. His buono stato established the reputation of Rome as the heralded New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse and quickly made the city a potent diplomatic and religious center that challenged the authority-and power-of both pope and emperor. At the height of Cola's rule, a conspiracy of pope and barons forced him to flee the city and live for years as a fugitive until he was betrayed and taken to Avignon to stand trial as a heretic. Musto relates the dramatic story of Cola's subsequent exoneration and return to central Italy as an agent of the new pope. But only weeks after he reestablished his government, he was slain by the Romans atop the Capitoline hill. In his exploration, Musto examines every known document pertaining to Cola's life, including papal, private, and diplomatic correspondence rarely used by earlier historians. With his intimate knowledge of historical Rome-its streets and ruins, its churches and palaces, from the busy Tiber riverfront to the lost splendor of the Capitoline-he brings a cinematic flair to this fascinating historical narrative.
