Foreword by Caterina Ricciardi

Investigations into the role of water in Canadian culture. From Nunavut to British Columbia and the Atlantic shelves, and from the «shallow waters» of the nuclear age to the watery mazes of the imagination, Canada is explored «d’un Océan à l’autre à l’autre». A ‘Homeric’ navigation which offers new knowledge of Canada and anticipations of our future.

MIRKO BEVILACQUA
Passaggi Novecenteschi.
Da Marinetti a Benjamin
Introduction by the Author

«In search of a ‘cunning imaginary’ within the works, with the intention and the pleasure to disclose somehow the enigma without forgetting the scares and the shocks of the textual journey. The failure in defence of shocks is at the origin of interpretation, of deciphering: is the intelligent practice of the critical experience».
MIRKO BEVILACQUA, from the «Introduction»

«From all of Bevilacqua’s writings we deduce that modernity constitutes a peak not yet superseded».

Heidegger

MICHAEL ELDRED
Heidegger, Hölderlin & John Cage
Edited and with a postface by Agostino Di Scipio

The philosophy of Heidegger and the art of Cage, even without having them communicated with each other, belong to the same historic event of the end of metaphysics.

«A union which also shows political consequences. Curious, original, perhaps rather extravagant, but which can surely stay in the now immense and insatiable Heiddeggerian bibliography».
EDOARDO CAMURRI, Il Sole 24 Ore

«The conditions for reflecting on Cage’s work and listening to Heidegger in an original perspective. The essay enables us to rethink some aspects of the Twentieth century».

Storia di un neologismo
Preface by Luca Serianni

«An extraordinary linguistic opportunity: it happens only very rarely that we can follow the first steps of a word in one or more languages, and even when its inventor can not be identified, we are still shown the events and ways that have brought it to life».

Il nazionalismo radicale basco. 1973-1980
Preface by Giovanni Giacopuzzi

Why has the inappropriately defined ‘Basque question’ still not been resolved? Why a conflict denies the image of Western Europe which has once for all resolved all of society’s problems between different nationalities?

«At last an impartial book which casts light on the history and on the motivations of a contradictory movement with consequences not only for Europe».
