📕 Translation from Professor Antonio Marinoni's novel Come ho “fatto” l'America in Diasporic Italy Volume 4:

"Like my father said, I had achieved the American dream—or at least my American dream. I had finally reached my goal. It was not the fantastic dream my pharmacist friend in Brooklyn thought I should aspire for, and to tell the truth, it was not even the one that my father had dreamed of the night of my first and only oratory triumph at that political meeting. It was my humble goal, and it was sufficient to satisfy my cravings and ambitions."

"Richard Bernstein brought philosophy to life.

The philosophical ideas he discussed in his classes and wrote about in his numerous books were undergirded by an animating passion about the vitality of the ongoing philosophical conversation that he was a part of, and to which he invited you to join as well."

Read the special issue of The Pluralist (Vol. 20, No. 2) dedicated to Richard Bernstein, guest edited by Mark Sanders and Tara Mastrelli on Project MUSE: https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/55003

We Are What We Consume by Tom Hansell
Abstract:
This illustrated article explores how the plastic cycle connects Appalachia to the rest of the nation. I write from my personal experience living, working, and playing in the New River watershed, which feeds the Ohio River. These experiences led me to explore connections between fossil fuel production, microplastic pollution, and the work of artists and activists working to support sustainable solutions for our region and our planet. Through photographs and text, I explore an arts-based response to protect the region's water resources and explain how the cultural resources of the region can be used to protect our most valuable resource—fresh water.

The special issue of Italica 101.3 on postesecular Italy is organized in two parts: (1) the postsecular from different disciplinary perspectives (Pace, Mussgnug, Burdett) and (2) the postsecular as located in cinema and television (Brook, Antonello).

❓ In the first part of the special issue, the guest editors asked scholars to consider the following questions:
- How is religion now treated within the field in which you are working?
- What might your field bring to questions of the postsecular?
- What questions do you think might need to be answered?
- What does the word transnational mean to you in the context of the “contact zone” between your field and postsecular theories?
- How would the “contact zone” between your field and postsecular theories contribute to Italian studies?
- What material might be particularly useful to explore in the future?

🎬 In the second part of the special issue, the guest editorsasked scholars who are already working on religion in Italian culture specifically to explore how postsecular theories might be applied in studies of cinema and television, asking them to provide a few sample case studies.
