Martini Maria Cristina | MMC Edizioni
MMC EDIZIONI is a publishing house based in Rome.Born in 2001 as a generalist, along the time it has specialized almost exclusively in non-fiction, dedicated in particular (but not only) to the city of Rome.The main series, called "A walk with history" offers an alternative vision of the city through the historical reconnaissance and analysis of some of its urban furnishings that are not taken into consideration such as small fountains, clocks, inscriptions, sacred shrines, plaques. This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2023Transitional justice in process
Plans and politics in Tunisia
by Mariam Salehi
After the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011, Tunisia swiftly began dealing with its authoritarian past and initiated a comprehensive transitional justice process, with the Truth and Dignity Commission as its central institution. However, instead of bringing about peace and justice, transitional justice soon became an arena of contention. Through a process lens, the book explores why and how the process evolved, and explains how it relates to the country's political transition. Based on extensive field research in Tunisia and the US, and interviews with a broad range of international stakeholders and decision-makers, this is the first book to comprehensively study the Tunisian transitional justice process. It provides an in-depth analysis of a crucial period, examining the role of justice professionals in different stages, as well as the alliances and frictions between different actor groups that cut across the often-assumed local-international divide.

February 2003Der Mann aus Mesopotamien
Roman
by Amin Maalouf, Gerhard Meier
»Von heute ab wirst du keinen Wein mehr trinken, kein Fleisch mehr essen und dich keiner Frau mehr nähern, denn die Wahrheit ist eine anspruchsvolle Geliebte, Pattig, sie duldet keine Untreue, deine ganze Ergebenheit darf nur ihr gelten, und ihr, nur ihr gehört jeder Augenblick deines Lebens.« Pattig verläßt seine hochschwangere Frau Mariam, um sich einer Gemeinschaft von Gläubigen anzuschließen. Das Kind, das Mariam erwartete, ist Mani, nach christlicher Zeitrechnung geboren am 14. April 216 in Mesopotamien. Vier Jahre später wird er von seinem Vater in die Sekte der Weißgewandeten eingeführt. »Inmitten dieser Männer ging ich weise und listig meinen Weg«, erinnerte sich Mani, der Begründer des Manichäismus, der mit 24 Jahren die Sekte verläßt, um »durch die Welt einen Ruf ertönen zu lassen«. In Ägypten wird er »der Apostel Jesu«, in China »der Buddha des Lichts« und »seine Hoffnung erblühte an den drei Weltmeeren«. Seine Anhängerschaft wächst ständig, schließlich gerät der Verfechter einer liberalen Religion in die Schlingen der politisch Mächtigen, wird inhaftiert und stirbt am 2. März 274.»Dieses Buch ist Mani gewidmet. Es sollte sein Leben erzählen. Beziehungsweise das, was nach so vielen Jahrhunderten der Lüge und des Vergessens noch davon zu erahnen ist«, schreibt Amin Maalouf über seine abenteuerliche Biographie über den »Mann aus Mesopotamien«.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2024Dog politics
Species stories and the animal sciences
by Mariam Motamedi Fraser
Do dogs belong with humans? Scientific accounts of dogs' 'species story,' in which contemporary dog-human relations are naturalised with reference to dogs' evolutionary becoming, suggest that they do. Dog politics dissects this story. This book offers a rich empirical analysis and critique of the development and consolidation of dogs' species story in science, asking what evidence exists to support it, and what practical consequences, for dogs, follow from it. It explores how this story is woven into broader scientific shifts in understandings of species, animals, and animal behaviours, and how such shifts were informed by and informed transformative political events, including slavery and colonialism, the Second World War and its aftermath, and the emergence of anti-racist movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book pays particular attention to how species-thinking bears on 'race,' racism, and individuals.
