C'è un paradigma fondamentale del figlio nella cultura occidentale: Edipo e la sua tragedia, che indica nel conflitto generazionale, nel contrasto con l'autorità paterna, nel desiderio di prendere il posto del padre accanto alla madre il nodo più profondo dell'essere figli. Ma questo paradigma è ancora così valido, in un'epoca come la nostra che ha visto evaporare l'autorità del Padre e non considera più la Madre solo una genitrice, ma anche una donna?

Regina Martínez was no stranger to retaliation. A journalist out of Mexico’s Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Regina's stories for the magazine Proceso laid out the corruption and abuse underlying Mexican politics. She was barred from press conferences, and copies of Proceso often disappeared before they made the newsstands. In 2012, shortly after Proceso published an article on corruption and two Veracruz politicians, and the magazine went missing once again, she was bludgeoned to death in her bathroom. The message was clear: No journalist in Mexico was safe.

Le due date hanno segnato la caduta dell'impero romano d'Occidente e la scoperta dell'America, eventi tradizionalmente intesi come l'inizio e la fine del Medioevo. Un'era che già nel nome sconta una sorta di peccato originario: essere una cesura tra la gloria dell'Antichità e lo sfavillio speranzoso del Rinascimento. Non fu così. Questo saggio si concentra sulla penisola italiana, il fulcro di gran parte delle vicende di quel millennio. L'Italia fu infatti la culla del papato, e al contempo zona di conquiste e cadute di grandi condottieri e imperatori.
