Understanding political violence: a criminological analysis
No full textUnderstanding Political Violence introduces political violence in the context of sociological and criminological debates. The author distinguishes between political violence from below, for example collective violence, insurgency, armed struggle and terrorism; and political violence from above, which includes indiscriminate repression, institutional and state violence, torture and war. Vincenzo Ruggiero discusses and critiques the contribution of criminological theory to understanding political violence. He draws on stimulating case studies to illustrate the theory, including interviews with former members of the Red Army Faction in Germany and the Brigate Rosse in Italy.The concluding chapter examines the recent development of a criminology of war and calls for a general ceasefire and the criminalisation of war, the most extreme form of institutional violence.This is essential reading for students and researchers in criminology, political studies, sociology, and war and conflict studies.
This book, published in 2006, is now available in Italian and a Spanish and a Russian edition will soon be available

Ruggiero: un trovatello, ma di famiglia illustre
No full textThis paper sets out some considerations about Ariosto’s Ruggiero. In the first part, the author discusses some ambiguities that apparently interfere with Ruggiero’s effectiveness as an encomiastic figure. In particular, the focus is on Saint John’s speech in the moon episode (Orlando Furioso, XXXV) and on Ruggiero’s exemplarity. In the second part, the author compares Ruggiero’s story with the hero pattern as analysed by the psychoanalyst Otto Rank. As a result, the connections between Ruggiero and the traditional aristocratic ideology are highlighted, also through a parallel with Machiavelli’s Life of Castruccio Castracani

Conclusioni
No full textLe sfide degli esports travalicano i “campi” di gioco e di videogioco e, come descritto in questo volume, si intrecciano con logiche socioculturali ed economiche. Ecco l’urgenza di monitorare le evoluzioni in corso al fine di comprendere quanto la loro crescita riuscirà a impattare sui nuovi equilibri del futuro postpandemico

Philosophical premises
No full textTaken from Il ritorno alla ragione (1946), this late essay marks a further decisive break between de Ruggiero and Croce. Drawing on Nietzsche, de Ruggiero argues that nineteenth-century German historicism resulted in disengagement from and indeed ambivalence with respect to the present. He goes on to argue that while Croce’s more sophisticated version of historicism provided a valuable bulwark against the encroachments of ‘irrationalism’ in the Fascist period, it also encouraged the rejection of the idea of any permanent, universal values whatsoever. Against Croce’s objections, de Ruggiero argues that the best insights of historicism should be incorporated into a return to Enlightenment reason and a ‘moving synthesis’ of immanence and transcendence
IL MONDO DEGLI eSPORTS. ATTORI, PROCESSI, REGOLE E MERCATI
No full textIl mondo degli sport elettronici segna una dinamica di veloce e costante sviluppo. Da fenomeno di mero tempo libero dalla dimensione prevalentemente commerciale, il segmento dei videogiochi ha rapidamente visto maturare al proprio interno una dimensione agonistica, che in parte ricalca le caratteristiche dello sport tradizionale ma per altra parte se ne discosta nettamente. Quest’ultimo aspetto, il mix tra affinità e netta differenza che si ricava nell’accostamento fra sport e esports, determina le condizioni di un complesso percorso di avvicinamento e negoziazione cui non corrisponde un adeguato apparato teorico e concettuale. I contributi raccolti in questo volume offrono un contributo multidisciplinare che mira a offrire un primo quadro di riferimento e ad aprire un percorso di analisi e riflessione che si arricchirà di ulteriori passaggi

Italian thought and the War
No full textWriting for a French audience in 1916, de Ruggiero here reviews the major intellectual currents that culminated in Italy’s entry to the First World War in May 1915. Though events cannot be properly understood while they are still in motion, argues de Ruggiero, the dispute over the war revealed certain profound truths implicit in these competing ideologies and schools of thought. Democratic, Catholic, socialist, nationalist and liberal arguments for and against the war gave way to a new scene, and a new set of problems, once the decision was made and war arrived. De Ruggiero goes on to discuss the political, philosophical and cultural implications of the war, again stressing—in line with his early historicism—that these would become fully apparent only with the benefit of hindsight
