2017"Secondo nome: Huntington" è il catalogo di una mostra in cui designers, biologi e fablabs hanno riflettuto insieme sull'Huntington, una malattia che, come “un secondo nome”, il destino attribuisce alla persona. Sfogliando il libro si entra in questo mondo spesso ignorato da una società votata alla bellezza e al profitto, che preferisce non confrontarsi con le sue “debolezze”: il design si fa strumento per scardinare preconcetti, per regalare letture inaspettate, per innovare a partire dal “minuto”, che non è mai “minore”. I progetti – che esplorano la dimensione affettiva, simbolica e funzionale dell'abitare – riflettono sulle necessità della malattia, ma anche su gesti, emozioni, delusioni, paure e speranze universali. Perché parliamo di Huntington, ma raccontiamo sempre di noi. Curatori: Davide Crippa.

2013Perché un paese affannato, isolato e quasi arcaico nella sua ortodossia arriva al punto di minacciare una guerra atomica? Cos'è che spinge il "paese eremita" per eccellenza, ormai allo stremo delle proprie forze a sfidare non solo le grandi potenze della regione e gli Stati Uniti, ma lo stesso processo di globalizzazione (e occidentalizzazione) rimanendo chiuso ad ogni contatto con il mondo esterno in un baldanzoso isolamento? Ed infine che cos'è oggi la Corea del Nord ed il suo eccentrico e spietato regime? In ultima istanza, queste sono le domande cui si vuole rispondere, analizzando l'intima natura del più isolato e misterioso del pianeta e il suo modo di approcciarsi al mondo esterno. Tentando, come in puzzle, di ricomporre le varie tessere: dai profondi retaggi storici, alle logiche della propaganda, dalle politiche di appeasement condotte dalla Corea del Sud, agli aspetti più tecnici relativi alla forze armate nordcoreane e alla caparbietà atomica, sino a giungere all'attualità più prossima con un focus particolare sulla leadership del terzo líder máximo: Kim Jong-un. Autori: Claudia Astarita, Stefano F. Beccari, Nunziante Mastrolia.

At that time Korea was virtually a forbidden land and had only been open to foreigners for abbout ten years. It was and had been under Chinese influence for centuries. The trip was very difficult but so fascinating that, true to character, Isabella adored it. She undertook many arduous journeys by land and river, observed the breathtakingly beautiful countryside, visited the Buddhist monasteries and had many audiences with the Korean king and his soon to be assassinated queen. While Isabella was on her journey the Japanese invaded Korea and she had to leave hastily, ending up in China, penniless.... Bird won fame in her own time as surely the most remarkable woman traveller of the nineteenth century." - from back cover. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding tight and square. Book
