Dalla sovranità alla convivialità: strategie di sopravvivenza agroalimentare in Sardegna by Fabio Parascandolo, Maurizio Fadda

“…A general framing of the topic will be accompanied by a description of some models of food sovereignty initiatives that recover some ancient aspects of food “rootedness” (including Solid Purchasing Groups and a Food Consumption Cooperative established in Cagliari), reinterpreting it in current times. These and similar phenomena highlight relevant instances of equitable and responsible access to appropriate agri-food systems for improved social and environmental conditions.…”

Where be dragons? by Miguel Andrade

“…In this article, we will focus on the literary landscapes (sometimes informed by real geographies familiar to the authors, depending on setting), which surround dragons in the sagas, namely topographical features, weather phenomena, times of day and seasons. The main goal will be to define which landscapes saga dragons are mainly found in, and reflect on how dragons interact with their surroundings, altering their landscapes, most often through destructive means and making spaces into non-shared zones. …”
