ISEDI 2008 552 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO Il manuale analizza il cambiamento epocale che ha investito lo scenario della comunicazione aziendale nel periodo 2004-2008. Oggi la comunicazione d'azienda assume un ruolo ancora più importante perché esce dalla ghettizzazione della pubblicità e diventa uno strumento di gestione manageriale. Il manuale, redatto con il contributo di autori con molti anni di esperienza a livello di responsabilità primaria in imprese e istituzioni che operano in questo settore, offre un approccio integrato alle problematiche di comunicazione assumendo come punto di riferimento dell'analisi l'azienda e le sue esigenze di comunicazione. La revisione così radicale è dovuta ai cambiamenti di contenuti e di strumenti che in questi ultimi anni hanno interessato la comunicazione d'azienda, grazie all'avvento della tecnologia digitale, alle innovazioni culturali generate dal web e alle nuove modalità di gestione che le imprese hanno dovuto adottare. L’immagine della copertina della nuova edizione del manuale La comunicazione d’azienda. Strutture e strumenti per la gestione, a cura di Umberto Collesei e Vittorio Ravà, vuole esprimere il cambiamento epocale che ha investito lo scenario della comunicazione aziendale nel periodo 2004-2008. La foto dell’Atomium realizzato per l’Expo 58 di Bruxelles da Lucien De Roeck, che rappresenta una molecola di ferro ingrandita 165 miliardi di volte, è stata utilizzata, inserendo al centro la @, per esprimere la grande pervasività di Internet in tutti i settori produttivi, le imprese e i consumatori.

br. La parabola tormentata di Dino Campana, le luci e le ombre della vita breve e intensa di un aedo speciale raccontata con una scrittura rigorosa che non vuole rinunciare alla poesia della narrazione. Dino Campana si muove tra incomprensioni familiari, rapporti difficili con l'ambiente circostante, antagonismi veri e propri con la società letteraria del tempo e le autorità di pubblica sicurezza. Intanto, mentre viaggia in continuazione, sperimentando ogni sorta di mestieri, cerca il senso del mondo e di se stesso nella poesia: quella che legge, a cominciare dall'amatissimo Walt Whitman, e quella che scrive, affidando la giustificazione della propria vita alle potenti visioni e alla straordinaria musicalità dei Canti Orfici. Gianni Turchetta ci porta per mano alla scoperta di una figura-chiave per capire la poesia italiana del Novecento, e di un uomo di sensibilità profonda e ondivaga, che lo ha portato, tra peregrinazioni fuori e dentro di sé, alla solitudine e alla pazzia, ma soprattutto a lasciarci un capolavoro che non smette di parlarci e di emozionarci.
