Chapter Teatro e violenza in Moby Dick — Rehearsed di Orson Welles

Moby Dick Rehearsed is a magnificent experiment in the style of Orson Welles, whose talent explores in depth the texture of Melville's novel in an attempt to put it on stage.

The Non-radicalisation of Muslims in Southern Europe = Migration and Integrat…

This open access book explains why southern European countries with significant Muslim communities have experienced few religiously inspired violent attacks – or have avoided the kind of securitised response to such attacks seen in many other Western states. The authors provide a unique contribution to the literature on violent extremism – which has traditionally focused on countries such a…
