Stowasser Horst - Revolution: Ritual or Fundamental Part of Anarchism?
Both the theory and the practice of anarchism can make sense only if they are revolutionary. But the distinction normally made by anarchists between revolutionary acts and reformist acts is fundamentally equivocal: it is the violent actions that are considered to be revolutionary and the peaceful ones which are considered to be reformist. However this division does not take into account the effects produced by these acts.

Penna Emilio - The Expression of Existential Philosophy in “Historical” Anarchism
The knowledge that every social change is also a cultural transformation, poses the problem of the existence of an anarchist existential philosophy which is capable of providing a valid and complete alternative to that of Domination.
Up to now, anarchism has not been capable of creating such a philosophy.
The aim of this contribution will be to discern whether the history of anarchist thought and practice contains elements that can be useful for the elaboration of a libertarian philosophy of living, and to determine the cause if such e

Marrone Mario - Psychoanalysis and Society
Psychoanalysis was born at the end of the last century as a therapeutic method for treating neuroses and later become the science of unconscious mental processes.

Gandini Jean-Jacques - Which Totalitarianism in 1984?
First of all, it is necessary to sketch out a brief but relatively complete portrait of George Orwell in order to determine what led him to write "1984".
There are four events which were particularly influential:
- his research among the unemployed in the North of England in 1936 which brought him in touch with the reality of the workers;

Mok Chiu Yu. Yuen Che Hung, Ng Kar Lun - La Cina dopo Mao e l'ideologia della modernizzazione
Il programma di modernizzazione iniziato da Zhou En-Lai e quindi portato avanti da Deng dopo la consolidazione del suo potere, ha rappresentato agli occhi della maggior parte degli osservatori una svolta nella storia cinese contemporanea, considerata in modo positivo. Per loro MODERNIZZAZIONE significa una riconciliazione necessaria con i paesi occidentali più avanzati, che a sua volta significa distensione nella politica internazionale.
