Bruno Munari, "The Circle: Discovery of the Circle" English | 2009 | ISBN: 8875700400 | PDF | pages: 83 | 17.6 mb "Dio è un cerchio il cui centro è dappertutto ma la cui circonferenza è in nessun luogo". Al cerchio è associata la perfezione, la ciclicità, la superiorità del divino, ma anche l'instabilità e il moto. In natura sono sferiche le bolle di sapone e circolari gli anelli di crescita degli alberi; si narra fosse un circolo perfetto la O di Giotto, mentre la perfezione è tangibile nel Tondo Doni di Michelangelo e nella Vergine col Bambino di Botticelli. I cavalieri di Re Artù si riunivano attorno a una tavola rotonda per simboleggiare la loro parità, così oggi ci si riunisce in cerchio per prendere decisioni o vedere uno spettacolo. Bruno Munari raccoglie e descrive in questa straordinaria, piccola enciclopedia, decine di usi nei secoli di questa affascinante e misteriosa forma, tanto instabile quanto ieratica.  Suzanne Ferriss, "The Cinema of Sofia Coppola: Fashion, Culture, Celebrity " English | ISBN: 1350176621 | 2021 | 304 pages | PDF | 10 MB The Cinema of Sofia Coppola provides the first comprehensive analysis of Coppola's oeuvre that situates her work broadly in relation to contemporary artistic, social and cultural currents. Suzanne Ferriss considers the central role of fashion - in its various manifestations - to Coppola's films, exploring fashion's primacy in every cinematic dimension: in film narrative; production, costume and sound design; cinematography; marketing, distribution and auteur branding. She also explores the theme of celebrity, including Coppola's own director-star persona, and argues that Coppola's auteur status rests on an original and distinct visual style, derived from the filmmaker's complex engagement with photography and painting.

 Geoffrey Macnab, "The British Film Industry in 25 Careers: The Mavericks, Visionaries and Outsiders Who Shaped British Cinema" English | ISBN: 1350140694 | 2021 | 352 pages | PDF | 17 MB The British Film Industry in 25 Careers tells the history of the British film industry from an unusual perspective - that of various mavericks, visionaries and outsiders who, often against considerable odds, have become successful producers, distributors, writers, directors, editors, props masters, publicists, special effects technicians, talent scouts, stars and, sometimes, even moguls. Some, such as Richard Attenborough and David Puttnam, are well-known names. Others, such as the screenwriter and editor Alma Reville, also known as Mrs Alfred Hitchcock; Constance Smith, the 'lost star' of British cinema, or the producer Betty Box and her director sister Muriel, are far less well known. What they all have in common, though, is that they found their own pathways into the British film business, overcoming barriers of nationality, race, class and gender to do so.  The Breath of Empire: Breathing with Historical Trauma in Anglo-Chinese Relations English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031176898 | 202 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 2 MB This Palgrave Pivot combines anthropological, biographical and autoethnographic perspectives onto imperial intimacies, the transgenerational transmission of colonial and familial trauma, and violence in two kinds of household: the Chinese family in British Hong Kong and wider imperial Asia, and the Anglo-Chinese family in England. Conjoining approaches from literary anthropology, the historiography of Anglo-Chinese relations, and perspectives on colonial trauma, it highlights the relative neglect of women's stories in customary Chinese readings, colonial accounts, and an ancestral family record from 1800 to the present. Offering an alternative view of family history, this book links the body as a dwelling for assaults on the ability to breathe―through tuberculosis, opium smoking, asthma, and panic―with the physical home that is assaulted in turn by bombs, killing, intimate betrayals, and fatal respiratory illness. The COVID-19 "pandemic of breathlessness" serves as mnemonic both for state repression, and for the reprisal of historical fears of suffocation and dying. These phenomena converge under an analytic concept the author calls respiratory politics.  The Boom and the Bubble: The US in the World Economy by Robert Brenner English | October 1, 2003 | ISBN: 1859844839 | True EPUB | 318 pages | 2.3 MB A sustained period of significant growth in the US, however, seemed to save the day against all the odds. So impressive was the surface appearance of this rescue mission that all manner of commentators proclaimed-once again-that a 'new economy' or 'new paradigm' of unlimited and harmonious growth had been forged.
