El patrimonio del conflicto

El patrimonio del conflicto

Autor: David González Vázquez

Número de Páginas: 246

El patrimonio del conflicto abarca espacios bélicos de diversa índole (campos de batalla, fortificaciones, espacios de retaguardia...), lugares de represión y reclusión, espacios relacionados con la violencia colonial o esclavista, o sitios referenciales de genocidios o crímenes contra la humanidad, entre otros ejemplos de este variado conjunto patrimonial. Este libro recoge parte de esta importante herencia, y mediante enfoques analíticos multidisciplinares pone de manifiesto la enorme complejidad de estos lugares de historia y memoria. Tal es el caso de los memoriales de campos de internamiento o concentración —como Rivesaltes (Francia), Gusen (Austria), o Dachau (Alemania)—; o empresas que hicieron posible técnicamente el genocidio, como Topf und Söhne, que fabricaba los hornos de incineración utilizados por los nazis; núcleos de población que se encuentran en ruinas en la actualidad, como las “villas cicatriz” en Italia a consecuencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial; escenarios de sangrientos combates como los de la batalla del Ebro en la guerra civil; rutas de evasión del Holocausto a través de los Pirineos, etc. La variedad de casos que aporta este volumen ...

Italy and the Second World War

Italy and the Second World War

Número de Páginas: 382

Italy in the Second World War: Alternative Perspectives stems from the necessity to write an important page of Second World War history, by focusing on the Italian war experience, which has been overshadowed in international research by the attention given to its senior Axis partner. Drawing extensively on material from Italian and international archives, a team of Italian and international historians, led by Emanuele Sica and Richard Carrier, offers a broad-ranging volume on the war seen through the lens of Italian soldiers and civilians, and populations occupied by the Italian army. Contributors are: Luca Baldissara, Cindy Brown, Federico Ciavattone, Nicolò Da Lio, Paolo Fonzi, Francesco Fusi, Eric Gobetti, Federico Goddi, Andrea Martini, Niall MacGalloway, Amedeo Osti Guerrazzi, Paolo Pezzino, Matteo Pretelli, Nicholas Virtue.

Bandidos

Bandidos

Autor: Chiodi, Pietro

Número de Páginas: 280

En 1939 Pietro Chiodi (1915-1970) obtuvo una cátedra de Filosofía e Historia. Destinado a un instituto de Alba (Langhe), la invasión alemana y el nacimiento de la República Social Italiana le hicieron pasar de un antifascismo no comprometido a la colaboración con la Resistencia. En 1944 fue detenido y deportado a un campo de trabajo de Innsbruck, desde donde consiguió volver a Italia haciéndose pasar por un trabajador voluntario repatriado. A partir de entonces, desenterró sus armas para volver a luchar contra el nazi-fascismo, hasta la liberación de Turín en 1945. Al final de la guerra publicó Bandidos y se convirtió en uno de los mayores especialistas italianos en Heidegger y en el existencialismo. Bandidos, uno de los grandes diarios partisanos, une con pericia el máximo rigor de la crónica con la intensidad del estremecedor drama vivido por el protagonista.

Notizie dalla Shoah

Notizie dalla Shoah

Autor: Sara Fantini

Número de Páginas: 354

In the immediate post-war period, the Italian press related to the Holocaust sporadically. Survivors returning to the country (the vast majority were members of the resistance) informed the newspapers about their experiences and, as part of their narratives, about the sufferings of the Jews. The papers published their testimonies, but seldom featured articles reflecting on the subject. The Jews were represented as victims of fascism, on the same level as partisans and the rest of Italian society, denying any specificity to their tragedy. Asserts that that attitude contributed to the creation of the foundation myth of the "bravo italiano" who was free of guilt for the persecution of the Jews. Concludes that this reflects a society that sees itself as not responsible in any way for the genocide, a society unable to cope with its past and to take responsibility for its actions.

Witnessing the Witness of War Crimes, Mass Murder, and Genocide

Witnessing the Witness of War Crimes, Mass Murder, and Genocide

Autor: Manuela Consonni , Philip Galland Nord

Número de Páginas: 284

Rethinking the concepts of "witnessing" and "witness" is highly relevant to the study of war crimes, mass murder and genocide. Through multiple readings, the volume shows the meanings and functions of witnessing in a political and historical context marked by the emergence of multiculturalism. The ultimate goal is the exploration of divergent and intersectional positions of the witness and witnessing as both concrete and hermeneutical categories. As a result, the mechanisms of social, political, and psychological oppression, murder and genocide will become tangible and understandable with greater precision and finesse.

Crimini di guerra

Crimini di guerra

Autor: Alberto Stramaccioni

Número de Páginas: 138

Crimini di guerra sono stati perpetrati in Italia fin dall'Unità con la repressione del brigantaggio e altri sono stati commessi da italiani già a partire dalle spedizioni coloniali in Africa Orientale e in Libia. Ma è soprattutto durante il ventennio fascista che l'Italia si rende responsabile della violazione dei più elementari diritti umani nelle guerre in Etiopia, Somalia, Spagna e – ancor più – nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale. In particolare, tra il 1940 e il 1943, insieme alla Germania, è protagonista di numerosi eccidi di civili in Jugoslavia, Grecia, Albania, ma anche in Russia e in Francia. Poi, tra il 1943 e il 1945, il nostro paese subisce stragi efferate a opera dei nazisti, sostenuti dai fascisti della Repubblica di Salò. Alberto Stramaccioni ricostruisce l'insieme degli eventi e dei punti di vista di alcune delle pagine più tragiche della nostra storia recente, dopo decenni di rimozione culturale e di occultamento politico-giudiziario.

Delitti e stragi dell'Italia fascista dal 1922 al 1945

Delitti e stragi dell'Italia fascista dal 1922 al 1945

Autor: Giuseppina Mellace

Número de Páginas: 314

Storie impressionanti e poco raccontate I casi più eclatanti dell'epoca, oltre la cronaca nera Molti, moltissimi sono i crimini perpetrati durante il fascismo: dagli omicidi politici alle leggi razziali, dai rastrellamenti alle deportazioni. E numerosi furono anche i delitti riconducibili alla criminalità comune (quelli a sfondo sessuale, quelli consumati in famiglia e addirittura quelli a opera di serial killer ante litteram), ma che il regime in qualche modo tentò di nascondere, proprio perché doveva dare all’opinione pubblica l’idea che tutto funzionasse al meglio grazie a Mussolini. Questo libro si ripropone, analizzando il complesso periodo che va dalla marcia su Roma fino alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale, di raccontare i casi più eclatanti dell’epoca, con uno sguardo che però supera la mera cronaca nera per includere anche le stragi nazifasciste successive all’8 settembre 1943, quando l’Italia venne dilaniata dalle barbarie delle truppe tedesche d’occupazione con la complicità e l’attiva collaborazione di molti nostri connazionali. Dai delitti politici alle persecuzioni contro gli ebrei Dai crimini a sfondo sessuale alle stragi nazifasciste In...

Guerra totale in Valdinievole.

Guerra totale in Valdinievole.

Autor: Matteo Grasso

Número de Páginas: 224

«C’era poco da festeggiare nella nostra famiglia»: con queste parole Angiolo Fidi, superstite dell’eccidio del Padule di Fucecchio, ricorda la liberazione dal nazifascismo dopo un anno denso di episodi, iniziato nel settembre 1943 quando le truppe motorizzate tedesche fecero la loro comparsa a Monsummano e conclusosi il 4 settembre 1944 con la conquista della città da parte delle formazioni partigiane. Il libro, oltre ad analizzare il periodo nella sua complessità, affronta l’impatto che la guerra totale ha generato sulla società locale sotto gli aspetti militari, politici, culturali ed economici, individuando i nodi salienti e intrecciandoli al contesto regionale e nazionale. Un caso di studio di un microcosmo con echi e riferimenti di ampia portata: le conseguenze dell’Armistizio; la nascita e il consolidamento delle amministrazioni locali della Repubblica Sociale Italiana; l’occupazione nazista; l’arresto e la deportazione degli ebrei; lo sviluppo della Resistenza e dell’attività partigiana; il ruolo degli helpers; le incursioni angloamericane; lo sfollamento; le violenze e le stragi di civili; la Liberazione. Due parti distinte (“Guerra Totale” e...

MYTH, SYMBOL, AND RITUAL: ELUCIDATORY PATHS TO THE FANTASTIC UNREALITY

Autor: Maria-luiza Dumitru Oancea , Ramona MihĂilĂ

Número de Páginas: 432

The present volume insists on the policies derived from the social ideas generated by myths, the updating of myths as an arsenal of social pedagogy, on the ethnic condition of the relevance of myths, but also on the resumption by mass media of the pejorative sense of the myth. This volume is part of the scientific series “Mythology and Folklore”.

The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992

The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992

Autor: Alessandra Tarquini

Número de Páginas: 352

This book examines how left-wing political and cultural movements in Western Europe have considered Jews in the last two hundred years. The chapters seek to answer the following question: has there been a specific way in which the Left has considered Jewish minorities? The subject has taken various shapes in the different geographical contexts, influenced by national specificities. In tandem, this volume demonstrates the extent to which left-wing movements share common trends drawn from a collective repertoire of representations and meanings. Highlighting the different aspects of the subject matter, the chapters in this book are divided in three parts, each dedicated to a major theme: the contribution of the theorists of Socialism to the Jewish Question; Antisemitism and its representations in left-wing culture; and the perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Taken together, these three themes allow for a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between the Left and Jews from the second half of the nineteenth century to recent times.

The Missing Italian Nuremberg

The Missing Italian Nuremberg

Autor: M. Battini

Número de Páginas: 189

This book explores how the trial of the entire military command of the Nazi power structure in Italy, prepared by the Allies following the Nuremberg mode, came to be replaced by a few contradictory trials of very minor significance. This resulted in an enormous historical misrepresentation of the Nazi occupation of Italy.

War, Massacre, and Recovery in Central Italy, 1943-1948

War, Massacre, and Recovery in Central Italy, 1943-1948

Autor: Victoria Belco

Número de Páginas: 609

The Second World War wreaked unprecedented devastation throughout Europe, necessitating monumental reconstruction efforts that burdened not only governments, but the lives of ordinary citizens. War, Massacre, and Recovery in Central Italy, 1943-1948 examines this transitional period in the province of Arezzo by detailing the daily experiences of civilians through the traumas of war and the difficulties of recovery. Studying the aftermath of war in a new and insightful way, Victoria C. Belco shifts the perspective from the national to the local level. With this localized focus, she provides valuable insight into the ways in which civilians coped with an overwhelming range of problems - from adjusting to Allied occupation and widespread displacement to rampant unemployment and the restructuring of local administrations and institutions after fascism. Recreating the post-war atmosphere of disorder, need, and political upheaval, Belco shows how the competing community interests caused social fragmentations that impeded change, while the unity of a shared past prevented civil war.

This book recounts the massacre at Sant'Anna di Stazzema and examines its after effects.

Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader: Volume II

Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader: Volume II

Autor: John W. F. Dulles

Número de Páginas: 796

From reviews of Volume I: "Brazilian Crusader is no doubt the best biography yet produced on Lacerda and the second volume . . . is certainly worth waiting for." —Luso-Brazilian Review Journalist and spectacularly successful governor, Carlos Lacerda was Brazil's foremost orator in the 20th century and its most controversial politician. He might have become president in the 1960s had not the military taken over. In the first volume, John F. W. Dulles paints a portrait of a rebellious youth, who had the willfulness of his prominent father and who crusaded for Communism before becoming its most outspoken foe. Recalling Lacerda's rallying cry, "Brazil must be shaken up," Dulles traces the career of the journalist whose unsparing attacks on the men in power led authorities to imprison him and employ thugs who pummeled him physically. Lacerda's spirited oratory helped him become Brazil's most popular congressman, but it scared the rulers of Brazil, who prohibited the broadcast of his speeches after he returned from exile in 1956. Their effort to deprive him of his mandate stirred the entire nation and culminated in one of the most dramatic sessions ever held in the Chamber of...

„Odată ajunşi la putere, comuniştii trebuie să treacă drept monştri.“ (corespondenţa dintre Marx şi Engels) „Istoria este judecătorul, proletariatul este călăul.“ (Marx) „Când ne va veni rândul, nu ne vom deghiza terorismul.“ (Marx) „Noi purtăm război contra tuturor ideilor proeminente de religie, stat, ţară, patriotism.“ (Marx) „Comisariatul pentru justiţie este «Comisariatul pentru exterminare socială».“ (Lenin) „În această revoluţie va trebui să-l trezim pe Diavol în sufletul oamenilor, să aţâţăm patimile cele mai josnice.“ (Bakunin) „Spiritul de distrugere e asemenea celui de creaţie.“ (Bakunin) „Cei care se opun comunismului trebuie lichidaţi.

Romania and the Quest for European Identity

Romania and the Quest for European Identity

Autor: Cristian Cercel

Número de Páginas: 296

Exploring the largely positive representations of Romanian Germans predominating in post-1989 Romanian society, this book shows that the underlying reasons for German prestige are strongly connected with Romania’s endeavors to become European. The election, in 2014, of Klaus Iohannis as Romania’s president was hailed as evidence that the country chose a 'European’ future: that Iohannis belonged to Romania’s tiny German minority was also considered to have played a part in his success. Cercel argues that representations of Germans in Romania, descendants of twelfth-century and eighteenth-century colonists, become actually a symbolic resource for asserting but also questioning Romania’s European identity. Such representations link Romania’s much-desired European belonging with German presence, whilst German absence is interpreted as a sign of veering away from Europe. Investigating this case of discursive "self-colonization" and this apparent symbolic embrace of the German Other in Romania, the book offers a critical study of the discourses associated with Romania’s postcommunist "Europeanization" to contribute a better understanding of contemporary West-East...

Anti-Southern Racism and Education in Post-War Italy

Anti-Southern Racism and Education in Post-War Italy

Autor: Grazia De Michele

Número de Páginas: 258

This book investigates the racism against Southern Italian children attending North-Western primary schools between the 1950s and the 1970s. Turin serves as the main case study, having become the "third Southern city" after Naples and Palermo during the considered period. Far from being a new phenomenon, racism against Southern Italians gained renewed prominence in the context of the post-war mass internal migrations, becoming one of the pillars of the process of nation-rebuilding. However, in spite of its relevance, it has not received the attention it deserves. By drawing on a wide range of sources – printed, archival, photographic, and oral – and situating itself at the intersection of the history of racism, of education, of psychiatry, and of psychology, the book aims to fill this gap and to add to the debate on the borders that nation-states establish to control the access to power of the different groups inhabiting their territories. Its interdisciplinarity makes it suitable for students and researchers across a variety of subject areas.

The Italian Army in Slovenia

The Italian Army in Slovenia

Autor: Amedeo Osti Guerrazzi

Número de Páginas: 206

This powerful study offers a vivid and often disturbing account of the Italian army's occupation of Slovenia during World War II. It moves from the decision of the Italians to annex Slovenia in 1941, through local resistance and brutal reaction against civilians, to the army's ultimate collapse following Italy's defection from the Axis.

Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939

Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939

Autor: Javier Rodrigo

Número de Páginas: 235

In this highly important book, Javier Rodrigo examines the role of Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. Fascist Italy’s intervention in the Spanish Civil War to provide material, strategic, and diplomatic assistance led to Italy becoming a belligerent in the conflict. Following the unsuccessful military coup of July 1936 and the insurgents’ subsequent failure to take Madrid, the Corps of Voluntary Troops (CTV, Corpo Truppe Volontarie ) was created—in the words of an Italian fascist anthem—to ‘liberate Spain’, usher in a ‘new History’, ‘make the peoples oppressed by the Reds smile again’, and ‘build a fascist Europe’. Far from being insignificant or trivial, the intervention of Fascist Italy and Italian fascists on Spanish soil must be seen as one of the key aspects which contribute to the Spanish conflict’s status as an epitome of the twentieth century. Drawing on sources ranging from ministerial orders to soldiers’ diaries, this book reconstructs the evangelisation of fascism in Spain. This book is the first important study on Fascist Italy’s role in the conflict to appear in English in over 45 years. It examines Italian...

Mussolini and the Salò Republic, 1943–1945

Mussolini and the Salò Republic, 1943–1945

Autor: H. James Burgwyn

Número de Páginas: 361

This book is a long overdue in-depth study of the Italian Social Republic. Set up in 1943 by Hitler in the town of Salò on Lake Garda and ruled by Mussolini, this makeshift government was a last-ditch effort to ensure the survival of Fascism, ending with the murder of Mussolini by partisans in 1945. The RSI was a loosely organized regime made up of professed patriots, apostles of law and order, and rogue militias who committed atrocities against presumed and real enemies. H. James Burgwyn narrates the history of the RSI, with vivid portraits of key figures and thoughtful analysis of how radical fascists managed to take the Salò regime from a dictatorship in Italy to a Continental nazifascismo, hand in hand with the Third Reich. This book stands as an essential bookend to the life of Mussolini, with new insights into the man who duped the Italian people and provoked a war that ended in catastrophic defeat.

Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader: The years 1960-1977

Carlos Lacerda, Brazilian Crusader: The years 1960-1977

Autor: John W. F. Dulles

Número de Páginas: 796

Journalist and spectacularly successful governor, Carlos Lacerda was Brazil's foremost orator in this century and its most controversial politician. He might have become president in the 1960s had not the military taken over. In the second and final volume, Dulles explores the political and private life of Lacerda from 1960, when he became governor of Brazil's Guanabara state, until his death in 1977. Dulles focuses particularly on the years 1960 to 1968, in which Lacerda played a central role in some of the most drastic political changes that Brazil has experienced in this century.

Italy’s Divided Memory

Italy’s Divided Memory

Autor: J. Foot

Número de Páginas: 267

This book argues that contemporary Italian history has been marked by a tendency towards divided memory. Events have been interpreted in contrasting ways, and the facts themselves often contested. Moreover, with so little agreement over what happened, and why it happened, it has been extremely difficult to create any consensus around memory. These divisions have been seen at all levels, but take on particular importance when linked to the great traumatic and life-changing events of the Twentieth century - war, terrorism, disaster - but can also be applied to more cultural fields such as sport and everyday life. Social change also has an impact on memory. This book will take the form of a voyage through Italy (and into Italy's past), looking at stories of divided memory over various periods in the twentieth century. These stories will be interwoven with analysis and discussion.

The Holocaust and Compensated Compliance in Italy

The Holocaust and Compensated Compliance in Italy

Autor: Alexis Herr

Número de Páginas: 233

This book analyzes the role and function of an Italian deportation camp during and immediately after World War Two within the context of Italian, European, and Holocaust history. Drawing upon archival documents, trial proceedings, memoirs, and testimonies, Herr investigates the uses of Fossoli as an Italian prisoner-of-war camp for Allied soldiers captured in North Africa (1942-43), a Nazi deportation camp for Jews and political prisoners (1943-44), a postwar Italian prison for Fascists, German soldiers, and displaced persons (1945-47), and a Catholic orphanage (1947-52). This case study shines a spotlight on victims, perpetrators, Resistance fighters, and local collaborators to depict how the Holocaust unfolded in a small town and how postwar conditions supported a story of national innocence. This book trains a powerful lens on the multi-layered history of Italy during the Holocaust and illuminates key elements of local involvement largely ignored by Italian wartime and postwar narratives, particularly compensated compliance (compliance for financial gain), the normalization of mass murder, and the industrialization of the Judeocide in Italy.

Experience and Memory

Experience and Memory

Autor: Jörg Echternkamp , Stefan Martens

Número de Páginas: 311

Modern military history, inspired by social and cultural historical approaches, increasingly puts the national histories of the Second World War to the test. New questions and methods are focusing on aspects of war and violence that have long been neglected. What shaped people’s experiences and memories? What differences and what similarities existed in Eastern and Western Europe? How did the political framework influence the individual and the collective interpretations of the war? Finally, what are the benefits of Europeanizing the history of the Second World War? Experts from Belgium, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, and Russia discuss these and other questions in this comprehensive volume.

Five Albanian Villages

Five Albanian Villages

Autor: Antonio Laurìa , Valbona Flora , Kamela Guza

Número de Páginas: 322

This book is the result of a research project designed and carried out at the Department of Architecture, University of Florence. This research was based on the transfer of knowledge from members of the Albanian Diaspora in Italy (university students, young architects and researchers) to their home country. This unique process blazed a trail in the Albania-related studies by creating a methodology, which could be replicated not only in Albanian rural contexts, but also elsewhere. The book constitutes a structured tool for generating sustainable and socially inclusive territorial development processes in five lesser-known Albanian cultural sites. Their tangible and intangible cultural heritage was seen as a driving factor for triggering development processes aimed at improving the inhabitants’ quality of life and strengthening local identity and social networks. Through concrete proposals and strategies, the book offers scenarios and solutions capable of enhancing the potential of each village and, at the same time, counteracting the effects of land abandonment that so often characterise them.
