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

Die verzauberte Stunde
by Meghan Cox Gurdon
Wir wussten es schon immer: Lesen macht glücklich und schlau. Und in Zeiten ständiger Berieselung und Ablenkung ist ein Buch eine sichere Bastion, in die man sich retten kann, wenn die Welt zu laut wird. Doch es gibt etwas, was noch schöner ist als Lesen: Vorlesen. Was sich in uns alles abspielt, wenn wir uns gemeinsam auf dem Sofa über ein Buch beugen, einer Geschichte lauschen und Bilder gucken, beschreibt die Journalistin und fünffache Mutter Meghan Cox Gurdon. Sie beleuchtet soziale, psychologische und neurologische Aspekte des Vorlesens und zeigt, wie dabei unter anderem die Bindung gestärkt, die Sprachentwicklung gefördert und das Vorstellungsvermögen bereichert wird – und dass es deshalb besonders für Kinder elementar ist. Meghan Cox Gurdon erklärt, warum Vorlesen die Synapsen feuern lässt, wie es das Fernsehen niemals kann. Warum es nicht nur Kinder glücklich macht. Und warum es einfach viel schöner ist, als alleine zu lesen.

Border images, border narratives
The political aesthetics of boundaries and crossings
by Johan Schimanski, Jopi Nyman
This interdisciplinary volume explores the role of images and narratives in different borderscapes. Written by experienced scholars in the field, Border images, border narratives provides fresh insight into how borders, borderscapes, and migration are imagined and narrated in public and private spheres. Offering new ways to approach the political aesthetics of the border and its ambiguities, this volume makes a valuable contribution to the methodological renewal of border studies and presents ways of discussing cultural representations of borders and related processes. Influenced by the thinking of philosopher Jacques Rancière, this timely volume argues that narrated and mediated images of borders and borderscapes are central to the political process, as they contribute to the public negotiation of borders and address issues such as the in/visiblity of migrants and the formation of alternative borderscapes. The contributions analyse narratives and images in literary texts, political and popular imagery, surveillance data, border art, and documentaries, as well as problems related to borderland identities, migration, and trauma. The case studies provide a highly comparative range of geographical contexts ranging from Northern Europe and Britain, via Mediterranean and Mexican-USA borderlands, to Chinese borderlands from the perspectives of critical theory, literary studies, social anthropology, media studies, and political geography.

The ethics of researching the far right
Critical approaches and reflections
by Antonia Vaughan, Joan Braune, Meghan Tinsley, Aurelien Mondon
At a time when far, radical, and extreme-right politics are becoming increasingly mainstream globally - sometimes with deadly consequences - research in these fields is essential to understand the most effective ways to combat these dangerous ideologies. Yet engaging with texts and movements that do physical and verbal violence raises a number of urgent ethical issues. Until recently, this has remained understudied, as scholarship on the far right rarely delves explicitly and critically into the ethics of research. This book seeks to remedy this significant gap in an otherwise extensive and growing literature. Originating from a workshop series in 2020, in which an international group of academics at various career stages shared the ethical challenges and best practices they had developed in their research, this edited collection draws together insights from these ongoing conversations, offering urgent critical reflections on key ethical issues.
