Unidea - UniCredit Foundation has published “L’inquietudine delle differenze” (The unrest of differences), essay of the sociologist Michel Wieviorka, edited by Bruno Mondadori. The essay comes from  the proceedings of the homonym conference organized by the Foundation last May 2007. In particular, the book contains three articles of the sociologist that are focused on the current debate on cultural differences and, in general, on connected themes such as the globalization, individual and collective identities and new kinds of racism. 

Unidea – UniCredit Foundation presents the book Milan: Chronicles of Living (Milano. Cronache dell’abitare). The volume is born from a project set up in 2005 by Unidea Foundation and the department of Architecture and Urban Design of Politecnico di Milano, headed by a group of architects and researchers from Multiplicity, in partnership with NAGA, a non-profit Voluntary Association of Social and Health Care Assistance and for the Rights of Foreigners and Itinerants.
The purpose of the book is to conduct a multidisciplinary debate on the changing nature of Milan as a metropolis, identifying positive cases of “new lifestyle forms”. There has been investigation of the extreme conditions of disadvantaged housing, affecting growing portions of the urban population. Milan is in fact involuntarily a field of experimentation in the complexity of practices prevailing in contemporary living, being one of the cities in which experiments in new and different ways of living have been at their most intense over recent years, and a city that at the same time has experienced a growth in housing problems.
The book will be presented on March 27th, 2007.
