  The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"? Which forms of organization are most likely to deepen and extend the dynamics that led to the emergence of these movements in the first place? 
   
   
   
  To investigate the goal, nature, method, and organizational forms of radical political engagement against the neoliberal consensus, Peter D. Thomas draws on the work of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist Party leader and political theorist best known for his ideas about hegemony. Offering a new reading of Gramsci, Thomas contends that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a method of doing politics rather than an end goal.

  Battle of Fornovo The: The...

  In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation, forevermore, of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in a myriad of ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula. 
  The diplomatic and military history of this 30-year period was a complex situation that one eminent Renaissance historian, Lauro Martines, has described as "best told by a computer, so many and tangled are the treatises, negotiations and battles." At the same time, the fighting went in tandem with the Renaissance and was influenced by it. Most historians credit the city-state of Florence as the place that started and developed the Italian Renaissance, a process carried out through the patronage and commission of artists during the late 12th century. If Florence is receiving its due credit, much of it belongs to the Medicis, the family dynasty of Florence that ruled at the height of the Renaissance. The dynasty held such influence that some of its family members even became Pope. 
  Meanwhile, plans for a French invasion were years in the making, and France’s young King Charles VIII, heavily influenced by chivalric tales and his men of finance, had begun his preparations for conquering Naples as a base from which to launch a crusade in 1491. Two key events were the catalysts for these plans. The first was the arrival of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere at Avignon in May 1494.

  Childhood and Love -...

  Love, in all its forms, is the cornerstone of human connection. From the moment we are born, our ability to form meaningful relationships is shaped by the experiences we have with those closest to us. These early interactions create an emotional blueprint that influences how we perceive love, trust others, and navigate relationships throughout our lives. While we may not always be conscious of these influences, they run deep, silently informing our choices and behaviors in ways that often feel instinctive. 
    
  At the heart of understanding love lies the concept of attachment. The bonds we form with caregivers in childhood provide the foundation for our emotional development. A child who feels consistently supported and valued is likely to grow into an adult with the capacity for healthy, secure relationships. Conversely, a lack of stability or warmth in these early years can leave emotional scars, leading to patterns of avoidance, anxiety, or disorganization in adulthood. These patterns are not fixed but can be understood, explored, and ultimately transformed with insight and effort. 
    
  This book is an invitation to explore how your early experiences have shaped your understanding of love and relationships. By delving into the science of attachment, family dynamics, and emotional development, we aim to uncover the ways in which childhood molds our ability to connect with others. You will learn how unconscious patterns from your past may resurface in your adult relationships, sometimes creating challenges that seem impossible to overcome.
