A Celluloid Tribute to Thomas Belmonte --Acknowledgments --List of ContributorsThis book is addressed to “lovers of paradoxes” and we have done our utmost to assemble a stellar cast of Neapolitan and American scholars, intellectuals, and artists/writers who are strong and open-minded enough to wrestle with and illuminate the paradoxes through which Naples presents itself. Naples is a mysterious metropolis. Difficult to understand, it is an enigma to outsiders, and also to the Neapolitans themselves. Its very impenetrableness is what makes it so deliriously and irresistibly attractive. The essays attempt to give some hints to the answer of the enigma, without parsing it into neat scholastic formulas. In doing this, the book will be an important means of opening Naples to students, scholars and members of the community at large who are engaged in “identity-work.” A primary goal has been to establish a dialogue with leading Neapolitan intellectuals and artists, and, ultimately, ensure that the “deliriously Neapolitan” dance continues.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / UrbanbisacshItaly.Naples.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban.945.73Aiello Theresa1710882Amore B774056Baldi Andrea176141Cannavacciuolo Angelo760891Caprara Valerio314661Connors Joseph10409DeAngelis Rose1710883Domini John744922Durante Francesco169987Frasca Simona609101Galassi Jonathan1710884Gardaphe Fred610389La Trecchia Patrizia524603Marchesi Ilaria629053Marchesi Simone326351Napoli Nick1710885Napolitano Salvatore144451Pell Gregory1710886Pine Jason620127Rescigno Joseph1710887Romani Gabriella1174886Sant'Elia Charles1710888Timpanelli Gioia774291Ward Terrence1710889Zweig Robert774998de Luca Erri174997D'Acierno Pellegrinoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPugliese Stanislao G.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910820283303321Delirious Naples4101816UNINA
