Libro XVIII. Di un discorso che non sarebbe quello del sembiante](https://www.rcvideo.it/il-seminario-libro-xviii-di-un-discorso-che-non-sarebbe-quello-del-sembiante/): Il "discorso" di cui si tratta nel seminario del 1970 è doppio: è quello della possibile formalizzazione della psicoanalisi, ed è quello della produzione di senso (nell'esperienza della "lettera" o del significante che si fa nell'analisi, e di plus-de-jouir, nell'esperienza comune, in particolare in quella amorosa); tutti temi che riecheggiano sulla pagina come effetto di quegli anni di contestazione e femminismo. Attraverso l'individuazione di quattro posti (agente/verità; altro/produzione) e dei quattro operatori (soggetto sbarrato, significante-padrone, sapere, plus-godimerito), che nella loro combinatoria danno luogo ai quattro discorsi introdotti nel corso del Seminario dell'anno prima (del padrone, dell'isterico, dell'universitario e dell'analista), Lacan cerca di mostrare come solo al discorso analitico riesca di non essere un discorso da "sembiante", ovvero di "finta causa". Solo il discorso analitico, infatti, riesce a disfare le illusioni che si generano dal ritenere, sia pure in forme diverse, che vi sia una realtà prediscorsiva, e che il linguaggio, a sua volta, organizzi un universo entro il quale si genererebbe una relazione fissa e definitiva tra i quattro posti (e gli operatori che li occupano). - [Atlante della letteratura italiana. Vol. 3: Dal Romanticismo a oggi](https://www.rcvideo.it/atlante-della-letteratura-italiana-vol-3-dal-romanticismo-a-oggi/): Le mappe, i grafici e i racconti che compongono questo "Atlante della letteratura italiana" individuano, attraverso la geografia e il suo intreccio con la storia, le trame della nostra cultura letteraria e, strada per strada, città dopo città, collocano nel punto preciso del tempo e dello spazio tutto quanto contava nel paesaggio sociale e mentale di scrittori, intellettuali, critici, editori. Con questo terzo volume si conclude il percorso dell'"Atlante": Sergio Luzzatto e Gabriele Pedullà, affiancati dal curatore del volume, Domenico Scarpa, coordinano le decine di studiosi che contribuiscono a ridisegnare l'immagine delle nostre lettere nei due secoli durante i quali l'Italia ha smesso di essere soltanto un'espressione geografica o linguistica ed è divenuta un'entità politica. Sono anni controversi - quelli unitari non meno di quelli a noi più vicini - su cui in fondo manca ancora un giudizio veramente condiviso. Sono decenni, ognuno per motivi diversi, tumultuosi, di perenne rivoluzione... - [Gente di terraferma. Una quasi storia di Mestre raccontata attraverso trentacinque interviste](https://www.rcvideo.it/gente-di-terraferma-una-quasi-storia-di-mestre-raccontata-attraverso-trentacinque-interviste/): "Ogni limite ha la sua pazienza"; è vero che è solo una battuta del padre della comicità di casa nostra, il mitico Totò, ma ci ricorda che sorridere può essere la modalità giusta per iniziare una camminata attraverso una città, fermandosi per incontrarne protagonisti, più o meno noti. Una battuta che può voler dire che dopo tanto tanto tempo trascorso su questo pianeta, addirittura a cavallo di due secoli, viene finalmente voglia di mettere da parte certi preconcetti e di ascoltare quanti, da anni, ti invitano a raccogliere in un volume articoli ed interviste, coerentemente con il lavoro di una vita. Facendolo per raccontare e raccontarsi, ma anche e soprattutto per il piacere di far conoscere persone, storie ed aneddoti che altrimenti non avrebbero altre strade. Il libro raccoglie le conversazioni con insegnanti, medici, scrittori, forze dell'ordine, ristoratori, professionisti, sportivi, artisti e molti altri. Un modo per portare in primo piano mestrini o comunque persone che hanno a che fare con Mestre, non tutti noti, e per far conoscere storie ed aneddoti che diversamente non sarebbero mai stati ricordati. Attraverso questi racconti, le memorie e le considerazioni dell'autore, si cerca di far rivivere il passato, raccontare il presente ed ipotizzare il futuro della città. - [La fioritura del carattere. Guida aristotelica alla felicità](https://www.rcvideo.it/la-fioritura-del-carattere-guida-aristotelica-alla-felicita/): L'etica di Aristotele è uno strumento per la fioritura personale. Si concentra sull'acquisizione di abitudini psicologicamente sane, guidando a quella "cura di sé" che è al centro della tradizione filosofica antica. Il presente libro intende restituire, con un linguaggio accessibile, le istruzioni proposte dal filosofo greco nella sua Etica Nicomachea. In quest'opera sono affrontati, infatti, temi di grande fascino e attualità: che cos'è la felicità? In che modo si diventa coraggiosi, o liberi, o giusti? Com'è possibile rimanere stabili nelle contraddizioni della vita, nei fallimenti e nelle crisi? E infine: come si può sviluppare al meglio il proprio potenziale, procedendo verso l'eudaimonia, cioè la piena espressione di sé? - [Abito alessandro gilles pura lana tinta unita drop 7, colore blu notte](https://www.rcvideo.it/abito-alessandro-gilles-pura-lana-tinta-unita-drop-7-colore-blu-notte/): Brand: Alessandro Gilles - [Calici sotto le stelle](https://www.rcvideo.it/calici-sotto-le-stelle/): < - [Premio Mare Pulito Diamante in Calabria](https://www.rcvideo.it/premio-mare-pulito-diamante-in-calabria/): LA NOTTE DI DIAMANTE E IL RESPIRO DEL NOSTRO MARE - [6 agosto 2026](https://www.rcvideo.it/6-agosto-2026-2/): < - [6 agosto 2026](https://www.rcvideo.it/6-agosto-2026/): < - [MEDITERRANEAN LEGENDS – Luxury Afro House Remix | Julio Iglesias, Dalida, Roussos, Rodrigues #4](https://www.rcvideo.it/mediterranean-legends-luxury-afro-house-remix-julio-iglesias-dalida-roussos-rodrigues-4/): MEDITERRANEAN LEGENDS - Luxury Afro House Remix | Julio Iglesias, Dalida, Roussos, Rodrigues #4 ~ MEDITERRANEAN LEGENDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-Yt5q_ETmY - [Quattro metri di ghiaccio spariti in un mese: l’allarme sul ghiacciaio del Rodano](https://www.rcvideo.it/quattro-metri-di-ghiaccio-spariti-in-un-mese-lallarme-sul-ghiacciaio-del-rodano-2/): Quattro metri di ghiaccio spariti in un mese: l'allarme sul ghiacciaio del Rodano - [Quattro metri di ghiaccio spariti in un mese: l’allarme sul ghiacciaio del Rodano](https://www.rcvideo.it/quattro-metri-di-ghiaccio-spariti-in-un-mese-lallarme-sul-ghiacciaio-del-rodano/): Quattro metri di ghiaccio spariti in un mese: l'allarme sul ghiacciaio del Rodano - [Cavese, biancoblù sconfitti nel Trofeo Catello Mari Preso Alberti](https://www.rcvideo.it/cavese-biancoblu-sconfitti-nel-trofeo-catello-mari-preso-alberti/): Seguici su: http://www.rtcquartarete.it/ - [🔵Tg di Rtc Quarta Rete del 7 agosto 2026 ore 14:00](https://www.rcvideo.it/%f0%9f%94%b5tg-di-rtc-quarta-rete-del-7-agosto-2026-ore-1400/): Seguici su: http://www.rtcquartarete.it/ - [Liquore al Tè The New Tea Spirit T+](https://www.rcvideo.it/liquore-al-te-the-new-tea-spirit-t/): T+ e` il nuovo liquore al te` interamente prodotto in Italia.

You go home to your mother, if you're lucky enough still to have one. Saoirse Maher wouldn't recommend it. nnnnLeaving home wasn't supposed to be temporary. When she moved to London, Saoirse was leaving Ireland behind for good, and with it her messy, broken family. But it turns out that starting again isn't as easy as she imagined, and when her five-year relationship goes south, Saoirse finds herself out of options. And so here she is, trudging back to her mother Máire's house up a side road on the outskirts of Irish civilisation. nnnnExcept the world she comes back to is nothing like the one she left behind. Her mother has a new family, and everyone else seems to be moving on. But between the drinking, drugs, and an entirely healthy, not-problematic-at-all-thanks relationship with Charlie, there's plenty to distract her.nnnnDon't look too closely, and everything's fine. Saoirse is just fine. nnnn'This is such an absorbing read; shocking and brutal at times, but incredibly tender at others.

Naomi Klein, author of DoppelgangernnnnAs claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations.nnnnThere is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.nnnn***nnnn'Timely and valuable... key message is a vital one - that the fight against antisemitism is an essential part of the fight against all injustice and dehumanisation.' Observer, Book of the Weeknnnn'A masterpiece defined by moral clarity, humanity and insight.'

Mineowners lock out a million miners. In response, British workers across the country down their tools. Britain's first General Strike has begun.nnnnThe government feared that the country was teetering on the brink of revolution. Trade union leaders thought they'd be shot by the end of the week. For nine days, trains, buses and trams stopped running. Lorries could only leave the docks protected by military convoy. In Birmingham, the police hunted down city councillors, and in London they raided trade union headquarters. And for those in the coalfields, from South Wales to Scotland, the strike would not last nine days, but nine months.nnnnOn the strike's centenary, Edd Mustill tells the story of why millions of workers came out on strike, and why the government did all it could to quash them. - [Luminous](https://www.rcvideo.it/luminous/) - [Off The Rails: The Inside Story of HS2](https://www.rcvideo.it/off-the-rails-the-inside-story-of-hs2/): The first major account of HS2 - and how it went so wrongnnnn'A jaunty account of a monumental cock-up. Makes the unbelievable readable.' Sir Michael Palinnnnnnn'High-Speed 2' was to be the crown jewel of British rail. The first Intercity railway built north of London in over a century, it would connect London with Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, bridging the North-South divide and propelling Britain's infrastructure into the twenty-first century.nnnnDogged by mismanagement, overspending and incompetence, HS2 has collapsed. What remains is a bleeding stump between Birmingham and the outskirts of London - Euston, the central London terminus, still seemingly unreachable. All of this has cost taxpayers tens of billions.nnnnSally Gimson meets with the politicians, engineers and ordinary people affected by the failure of HS2.
