il Saggiatore
Established by Alberto Mondadori in 1958, il Saggiatore is an independent publishing house focused on literary fiction and non-fiction, with a particular emphasis on science, history and economics. Our wide-ranging non-fiction list comprises the likes of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jean-Paul Sartre, Fernand Braudel, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Daron Acemoglu, Paul Mason, Jaron Lanier, Joseph Mazur, Mark Cousins and Piero Camporesi, among others. Our ever-growing literary fiction list includes Allen Ginsberg, Witold Gombrowicz, Joan Didion, Geoff Dyer, Olivia Laing, Esther Kinsky, Mircea Cărtărescu, László Darvasi, Akwaeke Emezi, Emma Glass, Mike McCormack and David Peace, to name just a few. Shortly after the birth of the publishing house, speaking to an Italian newspaper, Alberto Mondadori said: “I’m an explorer, I like to travel in time”. Sixty years later, his words and his vision live on, and il Saggiatore’s project is still the same: to publish books that can stand the test of time.

International relationsDecember 2014India in a globalized world
by Sagarika Dutt
This book, newly available in paperback, looks at India in the context of a globalized world. It starts by looking at the history of Indian civilization, exploring the roots of Indian identity and highlighting processes such as foreign invasions, foreign trade, cultural imperialism, colonial rule and the growth of Indian nationalism. The book examines the gradual democratization of Indian politics. Cultural and ethnic divisions in Indian society are examined in depth, as are the problems that have prevented economic development and stood in the way of economic liberalization. The history of India's integration into the global economy is considered, and the opportunities available to the country in the early years of the twenty-first century are detailed. The final chapters consider the Indian government's perception of the Indian diaspora, as well as the changing priorities reflected in India's foreign policy since 1947.

Searching for the Left in a fragmented world
by Bishnupriya Dutt, Silvija Jestrovic
Through the lens of performance and politics, this collection zooms in on the context-specific dimensions, analogies, and micro-histories of the Left to better understand the larger picture. It proposes a search for the Left not from totalising Leftist ideological positions and partisan politics but from ethical dimensions through smaller-scale Left-leaning struggles; not from the political to the aesthetic, but from the potentiality of art to offer new political imagination and critique; not from the individual subordinated to the collective, but from the dialectics of subjectivity and collectivity. This is not an attempt at a sweeping global overview of Leftist cultures either, but a collection that brings together culture-specific and comparative perspectives. This book searches for fragments of and on the Left, past and present, through which to rethink and patch a fragmented world.

September 2006Begriffsgeschichten
Studien zur Semantik und Pragmatik der politischen und sozialen Sprache
by Reinhart Koselleck, Carsten Dutt, Ulrike Spree, Willibald Steinmetz
Im Zentrum von Reinhart Kosellecks Werk steht die Begriffsgeschichte, deren Paradigma er – der 'denkende Historiker', wie Hans-Georg Gadamer ihn einmal genannt hat – maßgeblich entwickelt und zur Grundlage des von ihm mitherausgegebenen Großlexikons der Geschichtlichen Grundbegriffe gemacht hat. Die Begriffsgeschichte Koselleckscher Prägung wendet sich ganz spezifisch gegen eine abstrakte Ideengeschichte. Sie richtet sich auf den tatsächlichen Sprachgebrauch im sozialen, politischen und rechtlichen Leben. Dabei werden konkrete Erfahrungen und Erwartungen an der Gelenkstelle zwischen sprachgebundenen Quellen und politisch- sozialer Wirklichkeit ausgemessen. Mit dieser Sammlung von 25 Untersuchungen hinterläßt ihr Autor ein Vermächtnis. Er erzählt die Geschichte unserer, der modernen Welt anhand der Begriffsgeschichten von 'Staat', 'Revolution ', 'Aufklärung', 'Emanzipation', 'Bildung ' und 'Utopie'. Stets wird dabei der Doppelstatus dieser Begriffe, ihre Indikatoren- und Faktorenrolle im historischen Prozeß, deutlich. Die semantisch- pragmatische Analyse der Begriffe macht Kontinuitäten ebenso wie Umschlagpunkte der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte sichtbar und gibt so eine eigene Form geschichtlicher Erfahrung frei: Die Historie der Begriffe wird zum Medium der historischen Selbstaufklärung der Gegenwart.
