“…L'une déplie l'éventail de la feinte dans l'invention artistique - celle du poème ou de l'opéra, du tableau ou du film. L'autre tente de cerner l'horizon théorique d'une approche consacrée à des objets esthétiques : peut-on penser l'art sans passer par le détour de la fiction ? …”

“…On sait qu’ils interviennent chez les tragiques grecs, chez Sénèque, Shakespeare, Strindberg et Ibsen ; on connaissait beaucoup moins le rôle qui leur est dévolu dans la tragédie humaniste, le théâtre élisabéthain, le ballet de cour, la tragédie du XVIIIe s., le drame et l’opéra du XIXe s. Et même dans le théâtre le plus proche de nous, leur présence obstinée n’a pas beaucoup soulevé l’intérêt des spécialistes. …”

“…Fabricating the Absolute Fake applies elements of postmodern theory-Jean Baudrillard's hyperreality and Umberto Eco's "absolute fake", among others-to this globally mediated American pop culture in order to examine both the phenomenon itself and its specific appropriation in the Netherlands, as evidenced by diverse cultural icons like the Elvis-inspired crooner Lee Towers, the Moroccan-Dutch white rapper Ali B, musical tributes to an assassinated politician, and the Dutch reality soap opera scene. A fascinating exploration of how global cultures struggle to create their own "America" within a post-September 11 media culture, Fabricating the Absolute Fake reflects on what it might mean to truly take part in American popular culture. …”

“…Grandi gruppi industriali cinesi progettano, sviluppano e fabbricano prodotti propriamente cinesi, non più soltanto made in China bensì made by China. Quest’opera, dinamica e piacevole da leggere, ripercorre lo sviluppo folgorante di questi nuovi giganti che non si limitano più a imitare ma puntano all’innovazione e all’eccellenza tecnologica lanciandosi alla conquista del mercato mondiale. …”

“…The book draws on archival materials and original interviews with surgeons, analysing them alongside a range of fictional depictions, from the Doctor in the House novels to Mills & Boon romances and the pioneering soap opera Emergency Ward 10.

“…Working from different disciplinary angles, contributors reflect on figuration and sensation in biblical culture, medieval Jewish culture, the imagination of the unseen in Islamic settings, Christian assaults on 'idolatry' in Africa, baroque and modern Church art, contemporary Eastern Orthodox tradition, photography on the East African coast, European opera and literature, and more. The book shows that the three religious traditions have formed sensorial regimes: embodied habits, traditions and standards for seeing, sensing, displaying, and figuring that which could not, or should not, be seen. …”

“…Ma all'indomani della stagione dello stragismo mafioso, con la visita di Giovanni Paolo II in Sicilia nel maggio del 1993 e con l'assassinio di don Puglisi nel settembre dello stesso anno, la Chiesa cattolica ha intrapreso un'opera di riconquista e di risemantizzazione dello spazio devozionale che si è intrecciata con la formazione di modelli e riti di carattere civile. …”
