Abstract: This collection presents the state of the art on English-medium instruction (EMI) / Integrating content and language (ICL) in Italian higher education, drawing attention to different critical aspects of the teaching/learning experience and highlighting the perspectives of various educational stakeholders regarding the effectiveness of tertiary study in a foreign language. The chapters draw on a range of methodologies, from multimodal participant observation, to action research, to video-stimulated recall (VSR), to questionnaires and interviews, in examining language policies and practices across various educational settings. Overall, the volume suggests that internationalisation succeeds best when the form of lessons (language) and the content of lessons (disciplinary concepts) are constructively aligned in curriculum planning and delivery. This integration process requires the strategic support of educators to guarantee the quality of learning in multilingual education.

Abstract: "The Routledge Companion to the Reception of Italian Fascist Architecture investigates what has become of the architectural and urban projects of Italian Fascism, how sites have been transformed or adapted, and what constitutes the meaning of these buildings and cities today. Essays include a rich array of new arguments by both senior and early career scholars from Italy and beyond. They examine the reception of fascist architecture through studies of destruction and adaptation, debates over re-use, artistic interventions, and even routine daily practices, which may slowly alter collective understandings of such places. Paolo Portoghesi sheds light on the subject from his internal perspective, while Harald Bodenschatz situates Italy among period totalitarian authorities and their symbols across Europe. Section editors frame, synthesize and moderate essays that explore Fascism's afterlife; how the physical legacy of the regime has been altered and preserved and what it means now. This critical history of interpretations of fascist-era architecture and urban projects broadens our understanding of the relationships among politics, identity, memory and place. This Companion will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of fields including: Italian history, architectural history, cultural studies, visual sociology, political science and art history"--

Abstract: This volume presents a selection of eight papers presented at three symposia on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) that were held at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. The experiences detailed in the chapters offer a representative sample of the diversity of approaches to teaching and assessing ESP and EAP that were shared on those occasions. The contributions vary markedly by teaching and research context: whereas some report the results of meticulously planned research projects, others describe in detail cases embedded in specific contexts in Italy and in the US, others analyse the specialised language of particular discourses or domains, or reflect upon teaching methods and materials.

Abstract: Den Moosen und Lebermoosen wird oft wenig Beachtung geschenkt, weil sie klein und schwer bestimmbar sind. Tatsächlich aber faszinieren diese grazilen Organismen durch ihre Schönheit im Detail und durch ihre Fähigkeit, auch an den extremsten Standorten zu existieren. In diesem Buch wird die Artenvielfalt dieser Organismengruppe am Alpenhauptkamm in Nord- und Südtirol aufgezeigt. Triebfeder der Untersuchungen waren die subfossilen Moose und Lebermoose, die an der Fundstelle des „Ötzi“, seiner Kleidung und an seinen sterblichen Überresten geborgen wurden. Es folgte die Kartierung einer rund 200 km² großen Untersuchungsfläche rund um die Fundstelle des Mannes im Eis, wobei sich mehrere Neufunde für die Region und Korrekturen der Höhenverbreitungsgrenzen ergaben.

The core activities of the EURAC are in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Minorities and Autonomies, Sustainable Development, Management and Corporate Culture and Life Sciences. The main emphasis of the research focuses on South Tyrolean as well as European interests. Because of its geographical location, South Tyrol is an interface between three different language groups and cultures. Through its work, the EURAC is building bridges between the German and Italian language groups and is also connecting different disciplines, sciences and societies as well as theory and practice.

Abstract: Value is arguably one of the key concepts of the globalized world. This title features essays on classical philosophical sources on value, and, on the other, readings that show how the concept of value shapes our manner of thinking in pivotal issues and domains of economics, culture, and knowledge. Value is arguably one of the key concepts of the globalized world. In this world, to be is to be or have a value, while all thinking and implementing has the form of valuing and evaluating. Thanks to their operative expediency, both the concept of value and thinking through values appear as sufficient and such as not to need any interrogation as to their provenance and implications. The essays of this volume, on the other hand, provide insights precisely in these aspects by presenting, on the one hand, classical philosophical sources on value, and, on the other, readings that show how the concept of value shapes our manner of thinking in pivotal issues and domains of economics, culture, and knowledge. Ivo De Gennaro is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. He has published Logos Heidegger lies Heraklit (2001), Dasein, Da-sein. Tradurre la parola del pensiero (with G. Zaccaria, 2007) and The Weirdness of Being (2011).

Abstract: What does another language do to the individual who learns and uses it€ How is the individual’s idea of self affected by the other language€ This case study deals with these two overarching questions within the context of learning English as a foreign language through drama at a German upper-secondary school in South Tyrol. It investigates how the students see themselves in their roles, how they perceive themselves as users of the foreign language, and how they experience themselves in-role in another language. The results show how powerful drama-based activities can be and what educational impact they have. (waxmann.com)

Das lange Zeit vergriffene Buch wurde nun endlich wieder aufgelegt. In dem kurzen Vorwort wird es als eine zeitgenössische Romanskulptur beschrieben. Für das Künstlerpaar ist es Manifest oder eine Proklamation ihrer Sicht auf das Lebens und die Kunst in Form poetischer Texte und Bilder.Das Buch gliedert sich in drei Kapitel mit einer Abfolge von Doppelseiten, auf denen jeweils die typografisch elegant gesetzten Texte mit einem einzigen Bild kombiniert werden, die sich so einander ergänzen und prägen.Wie bei der Erstausgabe fällt auch bei dieser Ausgabe von Side by Side der von Hand marmorierte Umschlag ins Auge, der jedes Exemplar zu einem künstlerischen Unikat macht.

Abstract: Schwarzweiß-Bilder, in denen er Kontraste herausarbeitet wie mit dem Seziermesser: Vom Grashalm im See über kahle Lärchenwälder und Lawinenzäune im Schnee bis hin zu Wolkenspielen an der Tofana. Stets sind Kontrast und Licht die wichtigsten Stellschrauben bei der Bildgestaltung. Mathis’ Fotos sind solche, die umso stärker wirken, je länger man sie anschaut. Freilich vermarkten Fotografen in Bildbänden häufig vor allem sich selbst. Es ist kaum vorstellbar, diese Bilder der mörderisch kurzen Halbwertszeit digitaler Medien auszusetzen. So gesehen ist Visual Dualism – Dolomites die logische Konsequenz, diese großartigen Fotos der Dolomiten angemessen zu präsentieren. (alpin.de)

Abstract: Walter Niedermayr (geb. 1952) hat seit Ende der 1980er-Jahre kontinuierlich in hochalpinen Regionen weltweit gearbeitet und sich mit der Präsenz und den Eingriffen des Menschen in diesen sensiblen Landschaften auseinandergesetzt. Im Winter 2009 wurde er nach Aspen, Colorado, eingeladen, und dort entstand eine weitere Serie seiner Werkgruppe Alpine Landschaften. In 42 mehrteiligen Foto- und Videoarbeiten zeigt der Künstler die winterliche Landschaft um den Skiort Aspen, die durch die Erschließung für den höchst anspruchsvollen Tourismus geprägt und gekennzeichnet ist: In seinen meisterhaft fotografierten Bildserien bleibt Niedermayr ein präziser und kritischer Beobachter der Veränderung und Anpassung von Landschaft durch den Homo touristicus. Die Publikation schließt an die raumbezogenen Arbeiten an, die im Zusammenhang mit den Bauten des japanischen Architektenteams Sanaa entstanden sind und somit an die Iran Serien. (Verlagstext)

Abstract: On 19 June 1992 Austria and Italy declared the official resolution of the South Tyrol question - the dispute that had dominated relations between the two countries since the end of the First World War. While this bilingual province is today held up as a triumph of minority rights protection and a model for post-conflict societies across the world, the story of the South Tyrol since its amalgamation into the Italian state in 1919 has been a complex and often turbulent one. This book investigates the political role of the theatre in reflecting, shaping and subverting patterns of cultural identity among the German-speaking South Tyrolese. Taking as its starting point the representation of history in a series of ambitious theatrical productions from the 1970s to the present, this study offers close readings of texts and performances and an examination of the belated development of professional theatre in the province. The role of theatre is analysed in terms of the broader historical and sociocultural factors at play in the shaping of South Tyrolese identity. (Pressetext)

Abstract: This book follows the intellectual track and legacy of one of the most illustrious social work educators of our time, Edward J. Mullen, the Willma and Albert Musher Professor Emeritus of Columbia University and a fellow of the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare. The collection of chapters is written by European and American scholars, social work leaders in their respective countries and beyond. Most of the contributions originate from a seminar organized by the Inter-Centre Network for Evaluation of Social Work Practice (Intsoceval), a network of social work scholars, and hosted in 2014 by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy. This volume provides a remarkable and unique perspective on not only the professional trajectory of an eminent social worker but also the history of contemporary social work. (blurb)

The book presents the research behind his artistic practice as a series of drawings and storyboards. The artist uses this medium to capture ideas, intuitions and thoughts. Some drawings are just stand-alone images. Others attempt to shape a «visual intuition», something that can possibly be developed into a filmic representation. (Verlagstext)

Abstract: This book presents a new extended framework for the study of early multicompetence. It proposes a concept of multilingual competences as a valuable educational target, and a view of the multilingual learner as a competent language user. The thematic focus is on multilingual skill development in primary schoolers in the trilingual province of South Tyrol, northern Italy. A wide range of topics pertaining to multicompetence building and the special affordances of multilingual pedagogy are explored. Key concepts like language proficiency, native-speakerism, or monolingual classroom bias are subjected to critical analysis.

Abstract: Carol Loeb Shloss creates a compelling portrait of a complex relationship of a daughter and her literary-giant father: Ezra Pound and Mary de Rachewiltz, Pound’s child by his long-time mistress, the violinist Olga Rudge. Brought into the world in secret and hidden in the Italian Alps at birth, Mary was raised by German peasant farmers, had Italian identity papers, a German-speaking upbringing, Austrian loyalties common to the area and, perforce, a fascist education. For years, de Rachewiltz had no idea that Pound and Rudge, the benefactors who would sporadically appear, were her father and mother. Gradually the truth of her parentage was revealed, and with it the knowledge that Dorothy Shakespear, and not Olga, was Pound’s actual wife. Dorothy, in turn, kept her own secrets: while Pound signed the birth certificate of her son, Omar, and claimed legal paternity, he was not the boy’s biological father. Two lies, established at the birth of these children, created a dynamic antagonism that lasted for generations. Pound maneuvered through it until he was arrested for treason after World War II and shipped back from Italy to the United States, where he was institutionalized rather than imprisoned. As an adult, de Rachewiltz took on the task of claiming a contested heritage and securing her father’s literary legacy in the face of a legal system that failed to recognize her legitimacy. Born on different continents, separated by nationality, related by natural birth, and torn apart by conflict between Italy and America, Mary and Ezra Pound found a way to live out their deep and abiding love for one another. Let the Wind Speak is both a history of modern writers who were forced to negotiate allegiances to one another and to their adopted countries in a time of mortal conflict, and the story of Mary de Rachewiltz’s navigation through issues of personal identity amid the shifting politics of western nations in peace and war. It is a masterful biography that asks us to consider cultures of secrecy, frayed allegiances, and the boundaries that define nations, families, and politics. (www.pennpress.org)

Abstract: Österreich ist noch heute nach wie vor stark von den Bemühungen um die Wiedererrichtung eines österreichischen Staates und die Schaffung einer neuen „österreichischen“ Identität nach 1945 geprägt. Dieser Band konzentriert sich auf die Zweite Österreichische Republik und versucht insbesondere, Aspekte der Nations- und Staatsbildung zu untersuchen. Dabei wird eine multidisziplinäre Perspektive eingenommen, die Erkenntnisse aus Geschichte, Soziologie und Kulturwissenschaften zusammenführt. Mit Themen, die von der Rolle Südtirols in der österreichischen Identitätsbildung über nationale Symbolik, Immigration, Denkmäler, Musik, österreichische Literatur und Energieinfrastruktur reichen, bietet der Band eine Momentaufnahme der aktuellen Forschung zur Zweiten Republik.

Abstract: India not only is concerned with inevitable multilingualism, but also with the rights of many millions of speakers of minority languages. As the political and cultural context privileges some major languages, linguistic minorities often feel discriminated against by the current language policy of the Union and the States. They experience on a daily basis that their mother tongues are deemed worthless dialects that have little utility in modern life. Many such languages have definitively disappeared, and several more are on the brink of extinction. Is this the inevitable price to be paid for economic modernization, cultural homogenisation and the multilingual fabric of Indias society at large€ This book is an effort to map Indias linguistic minorities and to assess the language policy towards these communities. The author, a senior researcher of the EURAC (South Tyrol, Italy), assuming linguistic rights as a component of fundamental human rights, codified in a number of international covenants and in the Indian Constitution, provides an appraisal of the extent to which language rights are respected in Indias multilingual reality, which takes into consideration the experiences of minority language protection in other regions.

Abstract: Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis have all, to varying degrees, been the subject of studies that explore their ideology. All too often, however, these studies have not tackled the issue adequately, limiting their analytical approach to fascism or other phenomena such as anti-Semitism. Frequently, they have also sought to exculpate these writers or to normalise their political tendencies in an effort to circumnavigate the dilemma of how to address the paradox of right-wing artists who are both harbingers and opponents of the imagined trajectory of progressive modernity. This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology. By raising fundamental questions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics, this study ultimately challenges its readers to see their cultural practices as political. It wants to make visible and problematize the interdependencies of right-wing ideology and cultural production as well as reception in order to explain the (far) Right as a phenomenon deeply rooted in European history and cultural development. It thus lays bare the misconceptions, the gaps as well as the complicity in the debate about right-wing ideology in literature. (www.logos-verlag.com)
