Adesso basta (Simone Perotti)

Il potere sta nel coraggio

Donne, voi desiderate l’uomo forte, potente, ma non capite che il potere sta nel coraggio e il coraggio sta nel cambiamento, nel non conformismo, nella scoperta pionieristica di vie autonome, in cui riconoscersi metro per metro, uomini fabbri del proprio originale destino.

Brain Rules for Baby (John Medina)

Marital hostility usually starts with the woman

This may explain why, in the vast majority of cases, the increase in hostile interactions usually starts with the woman and spreads to the man.

Durante (Andrea De Carlo)

Un uomo solo tra le donne

Stavo seduto a tavola con le due sorelle Neumann, mangiavo e bevevo vino in preda all’eccitazione e alla frustrazione; mi sentivo un uomo tra le donne, mi sentivo solo.

Una vita per ogni finestra aperta

“Ma tu quante vite hai?” ho detto. “Quelle che mi sono capitate” ha detto lui. “Ogni volta che hai incontrato una donna interessante?” ho detto. “Ogni volta che una donna mi ha lasciato guardare dalla sua finestra” ha detto lui. “Ogni volta che mi ha invitato a entrare.”

L'imperfetta meraviglia (Andrea De Carlo)

Una moglie vuota e volgare

Neanche Wally e Kimberly sembrano molto contenti della compagnia, ma per le peggiori ragioni: Wally perché a parte Aileen e Christie Swoonie (che lo detesta) non ci sono ancora molte donne attraenti su cui allungare i suoi occhi morbosi, Kimberly perché a parte i padroni di…

Leielui (italian Edition) (de Carlo, Andrea)

L'ennesima festa sulla spiaggia, già vissuta

Lui li segue sui ciottoli della spiaggia, disorientato come quando il sole è caduto improvvisamente oltre l’orizzonte dopo essere rimasto a spadroneggiare nel cielo tanto a lungo. Pensa che si è cacciato in questo guaio da solo; che non aveva nessun bisogno al mondo di…

Uomini e donne, due specie diverse

“A volte penso che siamo come animali di due specie diverse, anche se tecnicamente apparteniamo alla stessa.” “È così” dice lui. “Eppure continuiamo a fare finta di non saperlo.” “Beh” dice lei. “Se sentissi le donne parlare tra loro degli uomini, scopriresti che lo sanno.”…

Lo Spirito del Giappone (Leonardo Vittorio Arena)

Il primo romanzo fu scritto da una donna

Il primo romanzo al mondo fu scritto da una donna, la raffinata dama di corte che si firmava Murasaki Shikibu nei primi anni del 1000. Hikaru Genji, lo splendente, è il protagonista della maggior parte dei capitoli. L’opera riflette lo stile dell’età Heian, e presenta molti…

Genji non è un playboy

Trascurando i fattori storici, si rischia di scambiare Genji per un playboy, come avviene oggi nelle frontiere del cyberspazio. Che il protagonista passi da una donna all’altra è un «dovere» della nobiltà del tempo, imputabile al rango principesco. Sarebbe stato anomalo il…

L'uomo ape e la donna fiore

L’uomo è paragonato a un’ape, di cui si giustifica la mobilità; la donna a un fiore, per la sua stasi domestica.

Iranian women barred from sporting events

Women are barred from attending men’s sporting events even though they are, conversely, free to watch them on TV; this oft-debated issue is dealt with in Jafar Panahi’s film Offside. (1205-1207)

Look Down Go Down

Importance of the psychology/motivation of the researcher

Our motivations matter personally because they are, quite literally, what keep us going. We are in this respect (I very much hope) no different from the American working men and women whom oral historian Studs Terkel interviewed in his wonderful book, Working: People talk about…

Self-mastery as a soldier's virtue

Living in a fragmented and predatory world, the inhabitants of a Greek city-state, who could never afford to take the survival of their community completely for granted, attached great importance to the qualities required of a soldier: not only to strength and speed, in which…

Shantaram (gregory David Roberts)

Unfinished skyscrapers as silos for shadows

We’d reached the perimeter of the legal slum, and the megalithic immensity of the twin skyscrapers loomed before us. Concreting had been completed to three-quarters of their height, but there were no windows, doors, or fittings on the unfinished buildings. With no flash or…

Killing to live versus living to kill

IN MY FIRST KNIFE FIGHT I learned that there are two kinds of people who enter a deadly conflict: those who kill to live, and those who live to kill. The ones who like killing might come into a fight with most of the fire and fury, but the man or woman who fights just to live…

In India the heart guides better than the head

The simple and astonishing truth about India and Indian people is that when you go there, and deal with them, your heart always guides you more wisely than your head. There’s nowhere else in the world where that’s quite so true. I didn’t know that then, as I closed my eyes in…

Loyal to the men, not the mafia

But I was alone, and for two reasons. The mafia was theirs, not mine. For them, the organisation always came first. But I was loyal to the men, not the mafia; to the brothers, not the brotherhood. I worked for the mafia, but I didn’t join it. I’m not a joiner. I never found a…

The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian)

Middle-aged women disappear

A second, related way in which the social self matters is that if people are treated very differently depending on how they appear, that can change how they perceive themselves. ‘I’ve been finding that recently I’ve been learning to be unconfident,’ Jñanamitra told me. ‘I’m now…

Ratiocentrism and the neglected body

It is important to stress the physical basis of personhood in order to answer critics who argue that the contemporary philosophy of personal identity suffers from the same disability that has plagued western philosophy since its inception: it is so centred on rational thought…

Hollow

He brings over Laura, who's 26 and has been working here for about five years. She's smiley and friendly, in a proficient but hollow customer services way, and keeps pulling at her skirt, which is hovering at the top of her spray-tanned thighs, as if she's uncomfortable talking…

Villa Metaphora (Andrea De Carlo)

La trasformazione della nipote di pescatori

Quelli di Lucia sono autentici scoppi di vigore vocale, il risultato evolutivo di infinite generazioni di urlatori e urlatrici da una barca all’altra, da una roccia all’altra. Ha questi lineamenti smussati, questa pelle liscia, questo sguardo scuro e umido che un tempo gliela…

What Is Collective Intelligence? - Assembl

Factors make the difference between the emergence of collective intelligence and groupthink

It turns out three factors make the difference between the emergence of collective intelligence and groupthink: Average social perceptiveness of group members. Basically, how empathetic are the people in the group? People that score higher in this area tend to work well in…
