Naples is a mysterious metropolis. Difficult to understand, it is an enigma to outsiders, and also to the Neapolitans themselves. Its very impenetrableness is what makes it so deliriously and irresistibly attractive. The essays attempt to give some hints to the answer of the enigma, without parsing it into neat scholastic formulas. In doing this, the book will be an important means of opening Naples to students, scholars and members of the community at large who are engaged in \"identity-work.\" A primary goal has been to establish a dialogue with leading Neapolitan intellectuals and artists, and, ultimately, ensure that the \"deliriously Neapolitan\" dance continues.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Returning to the Broken Fountain: Omaggio a Thomas Belmonte\u003cbr\u003e Theresa Aiello \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eForeword\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Irresolvable Paradox: Essaying Naples\u003cbr\u003e Pellegrino D'Acierno and Stanislao Pugliese\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Naples as Chaosmos or, The City That Makes You Repeat Its Discourse \u003cbr\u003e Pellegrino D'Acierno\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eLEARNING FROM CONTEMPORARY NAPLES\/WRITING AS A NEAPOLITAN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
