Elisée Reclus, a heterodous and anti-conformist geographer in his biography and political commitment, but in her poderosa Nouvelle Géographie Universelle, a dominant position in Europe, an egemone continent at its time over almost the whole world for the power of its colonial empires, is it a geography that could be broken by 'Eurocentrism' or 'colonialism', as some critics have done? Or does it have elements of anti-conformism in line with the anarchical thinking of its author? We try to respond by first analysing the general representation of the continent and its borders in the text of the work. The problem of European hegemony and colonialism is then addressed by comparing this text with other contemporary sources, such as Reclus's articles and correspondence with its scientific collaborators. Finally, in this geography, we discover the germs of early critical thinking about the role of the continent at its time. ; Elisée Reclus, geografo eterodosso e anticonformista nella sua biografia e nel suo impegno politico, dedica però, nella sua poderosa Nouvelle Géographie Universelle, una posizione preponderante all'Europa, continente egemone alla sua epoca sulla quasi totalità del mondo per il potere dei suoi imperi coloniali. Si tratta di una geografia che si potrebbe tacciare di "eurocentrismo" se non di "colonialismo", come hanno fatto alcuni critici? O presenta invece degli elementi di anticonformismo in coerenza con il pensiero anarchico del suo autore? Si cerca di rispondere analizzando in primo luogo la rappresentazione generale del continente e dei suoi confini nel testo dell'opera. Si affronta poi il problema dell'egemonia europea e del colonialismo confrontando questo testo ad altre fonti contemporanee, come articoli e corrispondenze di Reclus con i suoi collaboratori scientifici. Si scoprono, infine, in questa geografia, i germi di un pensiero critico precoce sul ruolo del continente alla sua epoca. ; Elisée Reclus, a heterodous and anti-conformist geographer in his biography and political commitment, ...

Bruno Trentin's biography represents an ideal prism on the Lefts from the Cold War to globalization, technological innovation and integration processes, and the dialectic between equality and freedom in international communism, the labor movement and European socialism. In addition to his role as "passeur" between Italy and France, Trentin also established a transnational circuit of intellectuals, trade union and political leaders, communists, socialists, democratic Catholics, who crossed the orthodoxies of the Twentieth century, in the name of trade union autonomy and a libertarian socialism based on the indissoluble relationship between Rights, Europe, Federalism. With such interpretative keys, the essay explores the period of the CGIL General Secretary, the election to the European Parliament and the last political interventions (1988-2007).

Alberto Manzi is a key figure in the panorama of the development of Italian language and culture. The analysis of his biography and his writing highlights the humanism that characterizes all his literary works and his pedagogical thinking. A fil rouge that underlies his life and professional experiences, an urgency of renewal that results in a concrete commitment against injustice and ignorance, in the expression of a new paideia, in politically engaged writing.He wrote many novels (Grogh storia di un castoro, Collodi award, translated in 20 languages; Orzowei, honored at the Andersen award translated in 32 languages), tales, articles, informative writings; he developed TV and radio programs for children, parents and teachers. Narrator, teacher, journalist, teachers trainer, ranging from natural sciences to poetry, he could practically embody a figure of the "Renaissance".He is still remembered as 'Maestro degli italiani' for the 10-year TV program Non è mai troppo tardi which received the UN award for its important contribution in the fight against illiteracy in the Sixties.Afterwards he taught for years to the Natives in South America, helping them in their fight for their rights. That inspired him to write the trilogy: La luna nelle baracche, El Loco, E venne il sabato. In these works, the narration becomes a song of denunciation and an act of love: the urgency to give voice to a people, to humanity.In the first part of this work, after having highlighted the links between the biography of the author and his humanist vision, and show the status quo of criticism of the author, the reception of Manzi's work was treated from a theoretical point of view. Then the question of timeliness of Manzi's novels has been approached, in relation to the general problem of reading at school. A summary of the interdisciplinary project that I carried out in a network of schools, in order to verify the reception of Manzi nowadays, completes this part.In the second part of this work, several novels and informative writings ...
