Paperback. Condition: New. Focusing on extreme environments, from Umberto Nobile's expedition to the Arctic to the commercialization of Mt Everest, this volume examines global environmental margins, how they are conceived and how perceptions have changed. Mountaintops and Arctic environments are the settings of social encounters, political strategies, individual enterprises, geopolitical tensions, decolonial practises, and scientific experiments.Concentrating on mountaineering and Arctic exploration between 1880 - 1960, contributors to this volume show how environmental marginalisation has been discursively implemented and materially generated by foreign and local actors. It examines to what extent the status and identity of extreme environments has changed during modern times, moving them from periphery to the centre and discarding their marginality. The first section looks at ways in which societies have framed remoteness, through the lens of commercialization, colonialism, knowledge production and sport, while the second examines the reverse transfer, focusing on how extreme nature has influenced societies, through international network creation, political consensus and identity building. This collection enriches the historical understanding of exploration by adopting a critical approach and offering multidimensional and multi-gaze reconstructions.This book is essential reading for students and scholars interested in environmental history, geography, colonial studies and the environmental humanities.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Roma, 2020; br., pp. 352, ill., cm 15,5x21,5. (I Libri di Viella). Il Mediterraneo non è solo geografia, ricordava lo scrittore Predrag Matvejevitc. Risalendo alla definizione di "mare salato" dei Greci, che per primi lo definirono "sale", l'autrice prova a "leggere" il Mediterraneo come spazio letterario, per condividerne la storia e i suoi protagonisti. Come si racconta il mare e che ruolo ha nella Commedia di Dante? Come viene rappresentato e cosa significa per Petrarca? E come lo racconta Boccaccio? In un viaggio tra testo e immagine, il volume analizza e ricostruisce questi tre modi diversi di vedere il Mediterraneo. Il risultato è un acquarello dai colori non sempre vividi, ma realistici, di uno spazio geografico specchio mobile e ibrido che riflette le tensioni e le incongruenze "reali" del nascente urbanesimo medievale. Da queste pagine la testimonianza e la speranza di un Mediterraneo pacifico che trova, e ritrovi, la sua essenza nel suo essere «tra discordanti liti», come scrive Dante, ossia un mare che celebri la diversità delle sue coste, un mare ponte capace di unire culture, tradizioni, fedi diverse.
