Graphesis : visual forms of knowledge production / Johanna Drucker. - Cambridge (Mass.) ; London : Harvard University press, 2014
In our current screen-saturated culture, we take in more information through visual means than at any point in history. The computers and smart phones that constantly flood us with images do more than simply convey information. They structure our relationship to information through graphical formats. Learning to interpret how visual forms not only present but produce knowledge, says Johanna Drucker, has become an essential contemporary skill.Graphesis provides a descriptive critical language for the analysis of graphical knowledge. In an interdisciplinary study fusing digital humanities with media studies and graphic design history, Drucker outlines the principles by which visual formats organize meaningful content. Among the most significant of these formats is the graphical user interface (GUI)—the dominant feature of the screens of nearly all consumer electronic devices. Because so much of our personal and professional lives is mediated through visual interfaces, it is important to start thinking critically about how they shape knowledge, our behavior, and even our identity.Information graphics bear tell-tale signs of the disciplines in which they originated: statistics, business, and the empirical sciences. Drucker makes the case for studying visuality from a humanistic perspective, exploring how graphic languages can serve fields where qualitative judgments take priority over quantitative statements of fact. Graphesis offers a new epistemology of the ways we process information, embracing the full potential of visual forms and formats of knowledge production.

The honoured society : my journey to the heart of the mafia / Petra Reski ; translated by Shaun Whiteside. - London : Atlantic books, 2013
In the early hours of an August 2007 morning a gunfight broke out in an Italian restaurant in Duisburg, Germany; in less than five minutes over seventy shots were fired into the bodies of six men. Both the victims and the assassins were members of the 'Ndrangheta crime organization. Calabria's Mafia had brazenly shown its savage influence outside Italy for the first time. In "The Honored Society" award-winning investigative reporter Petra Reski reveals the Mafia menace lurking throughout the world-- from espresso bars in Palermo to European halls of parliament to the corporate headquarters of enormous agricultural firms. In haunting and exquisite prose she explores the Byzantine structure of the 'Ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra and other mafia clans throughout Italy -- the code they live by, the destruction they wreak, how they operate within the country and how they operate internationally. She shows how these syndicates dominate everything from nuclear waste disposal to hotel chains to the marijuana trade in Australia and cocaine trafficked throughout the world. Reski shows how figures such as Silvio Berlusconi were made by the Mafia, and how those who dared to defy its codes were broken. A searing portrait of the criminals who have come to control not only Italy but vast swathes of the globe, "The Honored Society" is a journalistic tour de force.

Intelligenza artificiale, dispositivi medici e diritto : un dialogo fra saperi : giuristi, medici e informatici a confronto / a cura di Ugo Ruffolo e Maurizio Gabbrielli. - Torino : Giappichelli, 2023
Nell'era della Artificial Intelligence (AI) le nuove questioni etiche, la loro traduzione in mediazione giuridica ed il dilatarsi della scienza e della prassi applicativa esigono, si afferma sempre, un approccio interdisciplinare. Eppure, la ormai sterminata letteratura in materia affronta sovente i problemi da angoli visuali particolari. Il volume, pur dedicato ad indagine settoriale, teoria e prassi dell'impiego di device AI-powered in medicina, si sforza di censire, facendole fondere in un unitario (con)testo, le voci di saperi convergenti ma settorialmente distinti: esponenti dell'ars medica e delle scienze informatiche ed ingegneristiche si affiancano a giuristi e studiosi della nuova algoretica, completandosi a vicenda ed arricchendosi della reciproca somma sinergica.

L'invenzione della persona giuridica : un capitolo nella storia del diritto dell'Europa continentale / Filippo Ranieri. - Milano : Giuffrè Francis Lefebvre, 2020
La categoria della Persona giuridica emerge in un lento processo, che ha le sue prime radici nella scienza giuridica medievale e impegnala dottrina giuridica europea, in particolare nella Civil Law continentale, degli ultimi secoli. Essa si concretizza definitivamente nella dottrina giuridica tedesca del XIX secolo e trova un definitivo riconoscimento nelle grandi codificazioni civili e commerciali del secolo scorso. La ricostruzione dell’intensa opera dottrinale e legislativa che sottende l’elaborazione definitiva di questa categoria giuridica ci condurrà a rivisitare la storia giuridica dell’Europa continentale negli ultimi secoli. Il tema ci confronterà insieme con uno dei più importanti e, sia qui aggiunto, con uno dei più esemplari capitoli nella recente storia del diritto privato continentale. Si tratta della ricerca, al di là della tradizione del diritto romano comune, di un quadro giuridico adeguato perle nuove forme emergenti di organizzazione capitalistica del commercio e dell’attività imprenditoriale. L’elaborazione dell’idea di Persona giuridica, ad esempio nelle sembianze di una moderna società di capitali, si realizzò in un plurisecolare lavoro collettivo di molte generazioni di legislatori e di interpreti, che riunì i giuristi europei senza distinzione di nazione. Si può giustamente riconoscere in tutto ciò una vera e propria rivoluzionaria cesura nella storia sia della Civil Law che della Common Law. Il presente contributo si propone di presentare in una sintesi storica e comparatistica le tappe decisive di questo processo plurisecolare. (dall'introduzione)
