Alien Wisdom
In this classic study of cultural confrontation Professor Arnaldo Momigliano looks at the attitude of the Greeks to four different civilizations - the Roman, Celtic, Jewish and Persian - and analyses their cultural and intellectual interactions from the fourth to the first centuries BC. He argues that in the Hellenistic period the Greeks, Romans and Jews formed a special exclusive relationship and effectively established what until recent times was the normal horizon of Western civilization.

L'Alieno Dentro
Questo libro intende offrire una nuova prospettiva interpretativa di tre romanzi della letteratura femminile italiana scritti tra Ottocento e Novecento: Un matrimonio in provincia (1885) di Marchesa Colombi, Teresa (1886) di Neera e Una donna (1906) di Sibilla Aleramo. Tramite l'utilizzo degli strumenti critici offerti dalla semiotica generativa di A. J. Greimas, gli scritti sono analizzati nelle loro strutture semio-narrative sintattiche e semantiche, evidenziando il forte legame di continuità che li lega. La tesi di fondo dell'autrice è che il romanzo Una donna, considerato dalla critica il primo romanzo femminista italiano, non è il frutto di una «rivoluzione» bensì il risultato di una «evoluzione» i cui semi possono essere ritrovati in nuce in Un matrimonio in provincia e in Teresa. Questa continuità viene messa in evidenza grazie a una precisa e scrupolosa analisi semiotica dei testi che, portando alla luce le strutture immanenti, permette di sondare in modo nuovo un terreno già battuto.

Alien to Femininity
This book offers a first step toward spanning the gap between the writing of male critics of speculative fiction, who do not devote enough attention to the contributions of new female voices to this genre, and feminist critics, who should study a genre that opens all possibilities to women. Although Barr clarifies speculative texts for those who may not be familiar with them, her study is neither a complete survey of speculative fiction nor an introduction to the recent concerns of feminist theory; it applies contemporary feminist theory to contemporary speculative fiction.

Evolution of Alienation
The Evolution of Alienation: Trauma, Promise and the Millennium presents a collection of essays that examine the prevalence of alienation in the contemporary world. Although the authors share a critical approach to society, their views of alienation vary. While some feel that alienation is inescapable under the conditions of late modernity, others see that especially at this time there are opportunities to overcome alienation. Testing their approaches, the authors touch on highly diverse domains of life. The book is divided into four sections, each with a focus on how alienation is produced and, perhaps, overcome. Part I presents theoretical approaches to 'shifting views of alienation'. Here the authors discuss how alienation is disclosed in social science, in technology, and in biological constructions of the human being. Part II deals with political consequences of alienation. The three chapters focus on how alienation can lead to fascist beliefs, how it functions in the development of authoritarian personalities, and how alienation is disclosed in teen-age violence, but also in the justice meted out to desperate teens, without compassion. Part III includes examinations of 'alienation in identity, culture, and religion'. Here, researchers discuss how the alienating conditions of globalization create alienated identities that are carnivalized in shock music and in exploitative television shows. The last chapter of this section sees in these developments evidence of our inability or unwillingness as social scientists to deal with transcendental values. Part IV focuses on phenomena from everyday life, showing how alienation undermines the advantages of community, and the intimacies of dialogue. Although the very concern with alienation shows awareness of trauma, there are, throughout the book, hints of promise - in technology, in loving and creative domesticity, in activism and through grass-roots initiatives in education. Through an interest in the cosmos human being may yet discover the way out of alienating labyrinths.
