The topic of this chapter is the political and cultural evolution of the Association de la Presse Latine (APL). Between 1923 and 1935 the APL organised 13 conferences both in Europe and in Central America, becoming a point of reference and a place to share ideas for right wings intellectuals across the Atlantic. Analysing the meetings' proceedings and the Association's monthly magazine, this chapter intends to shed a new light both on the study of the political project of pan-Latinism in a broader transnational perspective and on the reactionary intellectuals networks during the interwar period ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
La historia del monumento al Infante D. Henrique, es la historia de un monumento que nunca se realizó, pero que a pesar de eso, contó con una fase de proyecto que duró dos décadas, representando un importante laboratorio histórico donde poder estudiar las políticas de propaganda y representación delEstado Novodesde 1933 a 1957. La idea de construir un monumento al más importante exponente de los Descubridores, nacía ya a finales del siglo xix, pero con la instauración del régimen de Salazar obtiene un valor fundamental, a causa de la importancia que el dictador daba a la exaltación de la Edad de Oro de la Nación y al valor de la historia patria como base de la pedagogía patriótica. Por eso, el estudio de los tres concursos para el monumento que se debía erigir en Sagres (1933-35; 1936-38; 1954-57) permite tocar algunos puntos clave de la historia cultural delEstado Novo:el uso público de la historia portuguesa, en particular la tensión entre lasaudadepor la Edad de los Descubridores y la promesa de un resurgimiento de la Nación como temas clave de la política y de la propaganda salazaristas. La relación entre arte, arquitectura y política durante dos décadas deEstado Novo, en un período delicado que observa el fin de la propaganda típicamente fascista de los años treinta y la nueva política cultural de la segunda posguerra.
ln 2011, Italy celebrated its national jubilee. It was the third time that the country was called to confront its past, the complex process of nation-building and, as on the previous anniversaries, to deal with the issue famously highlighted by the liberal politician Massimo D'Azeglio: 'Italy is made; now the Italians must be made'. The meanings underlying these three celebrations allow us to reflect on the different ways in which the past history of the country was used by the ruling classes to build a sense of identity; and to underline how this process developed throughout the century. Jubilees are considered here not only as an anniversary, but also as a 'procedure employed by national state and by specific polity cultures to define themselves, and with the ways in which the politics of memory, legitimization strategies, languages of political communication and commemorative machineries have served as channel liable to persuade and to penetrate society' (Baioni, 2011: 399). These commemorations, in fact, were important occasions for reflection for polities and civil society, and for social scientists as well: in addition to being a celebratory moment, they were also significant events which encouraged reflection on Italian national identity and the relationship between polities, memory and the Risorgimento. The Risorgimento is a crucial period in Italian history: it marks the foundation of Italy as a united nation, but it is also the defining moment for some problematic divisions that have characterized the country: masses vs. elites; South vs. North; monarchy vs. republic, etc. For these reasons, the Risorgimento, its uses and its interpretations, will be the focus of this chapter: analysing the myth of the Risorgimento through the lens of the jubilees will help shed light on some basic problems of Italian history of the last 150 years, such as national identity in dispute between political parties and local belonging, historical revisionism, the persistence of divisions and the relationship with the ...
"This volume investigates a galaxy of diverse networks and intellectual actors who engaged in a wide political environment, from conservatism to the most radical right, between the World Wars. Looking beyond simply Fascism, it considers the less-investigated domain of the 'Latin space', encompassing countries of both Southern Europe and Latin America. A wider and intricate analytical framework emerges, exploring right-wing intellectual agents and their networks, their travels and the circulation of ideas, during the interwar period and on a transatlantic scale, offering an original contribution to the debate on interwar authoritarian regimes and opening new possibilities for research"--
La relazione affronta il concetto di identità nazionale attraverso il caso di Torino come luogo geografico e culturale. Si centra sul suo sviluppo negli anni Sessanta, osservando un aspetto politico-sociale (relazione tra i movimenti operaio e sociale e la gestione dell'immigrazione nel quadro di uno spazio urbano in espansione) e uno teoricoculturale (le esposizioni per il Centenario dell'Unità del 1961 come un'occasione per riflettere sul concetto di "essere italiani"). ; The paper aims to retrace the idea of national identity throughout the case study of Turin, as a geographical and cultural territory. It focuses on the evolution of the city during the Sixties. It considers a social and political aspect (the relationship between social and political movements and migrations within the urban space) and a theoretical and cultural one (the exhibitions for the Jubilee of the Unity of Italy as a moment to reflect about the concept of being Italians).
Questo volume raccoglie i risultati delle ricerche di alcuni studiosi italiani che si sono occupati del Portogallo da diverse prospettive. Esplorando vari 'percorsi' delle scienze sociali e umane, dalla metà dell'800 ai giorni nostri, il libro offre uno spaccato sul paese iberico che illumina, attraverso analisi rigorose e originali, gli aspetti che lo contraddistinguono a livello storico, politico, sociale e artistico. Primo e ultimo impero coloniale dell'occidente, luogo di una delle più longeve dittature contemporanee, geograficamente situato nell'Europa del sud, ma allo stesso tempo bagnato dall'Oceano Atlantico, il Portogallo offre svariati punti di riflessione su continuità e discontinuità rispetto al bacino in cui si trova e ai fenomeni che l'hanno attraversato. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
