"The text explores the phenomenon of violence, retracing the sociological theory from the classical paradigms to the frontier of interpretative readings outlined in the digital society age. The aim is to arrive at an interpretation on violence and the possible connections that go from traditional society, in the historiographic sense of action, to the challenges proposed by contemporary society. What is the form that violence takes today? Which are the indicators that allow you to recognize it? Following these reflections, this book raises the question about the social nature of violence in the many forms in which it manifests itself. The analysis that is proposed is therefore that of seeking the widespread dimensions within which the contemporary individual acts, as well as identifying the indicators that, through functional categories, can prevent and combat violence."

Contemporary society is undergoing a set of changes and technological innovations. This is the topic of this book. The theoretical starting point of this book is that the complex transition we are witnessing seems to be alike to the rise of the industrial society in the 1800. The today transformations affect the social relationships, shape the social organization, create imbalances and difficulties in adaptation to the new world, meet cultural resistance, require new rules. The book is structured as follows. The first chapter is devoted to the classical theory of social change. The second one deals with the current global transformation trends. The third and fourth chapters focus on the digital processes and innovation technologies as factor of change. The aim is also reconstructing their origins and evolution. The last chapter is devoted to the impact of the digitalization process on the labor market and the organization of work.

This volume investigates interdisciplinary intersections between law and the humanities from the Renaissance to the present day. It allows for fruitful encounters between different disciplines: from literature to science, from the visual arts to the post-human, from the postmodern novel's experimentation to most recent approaches towards the legal interpretation of literary texts. This productive dialogue fosters original perspectives in the interpretation of and reflection upon identity, justice, power and human rights and values, thus underlining the role of literature in the articulation of relevant cultural issues pertaining to specific periods.

The 2017 SIS Conference aims to highlight the crucial role of the Statistics in Data Science. In this new domain of 'meaning' extracted from the data, the increasing amount of produced and available data in databases, nowadays, has brought new challenges. That involves different fields of statistics, machine learning, information and computer science, optimization, pattern recognition. These afford together a considerable contribute in the analysis of 'Big data', open data, relational and complex data, structured and no-structured. The interest is to collect the contributes which provide from the different domains of Statistics, in the high dimensional data quality validation, sampling extraction, dimensional reduction, pattern selection, data modelling, testing hypotheses and confirming conclusions drawn from the data.

Lying between the grammarians` and rhetors` domains, Aesop`s fables were known and employed in the Western and Eastern educational environments mainly for their intrinsically moral essence. Once having explored the literary and grammatical texts concerning the educational role of fables, the book is focussed on the direct witnesses of Latin and bilingual Latin-Greek fables (III-IV AD) coming from the Eastern school environments.

Der Band hinterfragt den Nutzen des Begriffs "Orientalismus" zur Erforschung der vielfältigen deutsch-jüdischen kulturellen Beziehungen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Dabei wird Orientalismus einerseits als postkolonialer Diskurs verstanden, der Identitätskonflikte und Sprachprobleme der jüdischen Diaspora in den Blick nimmt, andererseits als philologische Wissenschaft vom Orient. Die Beiträge behandeln folgende Fragen: In welchem Maße wurden deutsche Juden vom zeitgenössischen wissenschaftlichen Diskurs über den "Orient" und den "Orientalen" beeinflusst bzw. gestalteten ihn mit? Wie tief verinnerlichten Juden die stereotypen Bilder ihrer Umgebung und inwiefern konnten die deutsch-jüdischen Orientalisten diese Vorurteile und deren philosophische Legitimierung wissenschaftlich widerlegen? Wie veränderte sich das Bild des Orients, als viele emigrierte deutsche Juden sich in Palästina mit dem "wahren" Orient konfrontiert sahen?

I saggi raccolti nel presente volume affrontano un tema centrale della tradizione ebraica: il sogno, e in secondo luogo il surreale. Per quanto concerne lo studio dei testi, i contributi spaziano lungo un arco temporale assai ampio, dalla Bibbia alla poesia moderna, prendendo in esame una vasta gamma di argomenti; nell'ambito delle arti visive, attraverso epoche e media diversi, ci si muove dagli affreschi della sinagoga di Dura Europos fino alla pittura del Novecento, senza dimenticare il cinema. Estremamente variegato è il panorama linguistico offerto dai documenti considerati, che all'ebraico nelle sue varie fasi affianca i Jewish Languages e le lingue non specificamente giudaiche adottate nei secoli dagli ebrei della Diaspora.
