Naples 1968) is a researcher at the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra in Portugal. After obtaining her PhD in Economic History in 1997, she collaborated with the Institute of Studies on Mediterranean Societies in Naples and lectured in economic, social and environmental history at various Universities in Italy. She was a visiting scholar on the Program in Agrarian Studies at Yale University in 2005–06, and a Ciriacy Wantrup post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley in 2006–08. Her publications include the books Elettrificare la Puglia (2001, ‘The Electrification of Apulia’) andStoria dell’ambiente. Una introduzione (2004, ‘An Introduction to Environmental History’), with Marco Armiero. Her next research projects are a transnational environmental history of petrochemicals, and a biography of Italian ecologist Laura Conti. Acknowledgments This book was born at the end of a long journey, both intellectual and geographical. I wish to thank the many people and institutions that have helped me on my way. Early support for the research in Naples was granted by the Institute of Stud- ies on Mediterranean Societies, University of Naples ‘l’Orientale’ and University of Naples Federico II. For those grants, I am very grateful to Gabriella Corona, Paolo Frascani, Vincenzo Giura, Paolo Malanima and Ilaria Zilli. That early research became an English manuscript in the course of three years which I spent in the US, first as visiting scholar at the Yale University Program in Agrarian Studies and then as S.V. Ciriacy Wantrup postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley. I am especially indebted to Jim Scott, for introducing my mind to an entire new world of intellectual possibilities; and to Carolyn Merchant, for her radical way of thinking ecology and for her maternal friendship. Many other people welcomed, sustained and helped me to get the best from my stay in the US, and to all I am truly thankful. I wish especially to thank Kay Mansfield for her precious support during my first year in Connecticut; Christine Meisner Rosen, Nancy Peluso, Isha Ray and Michael Watts for making possible and indeed very pleasant my stay in Berkeley and for the intellectual support I enjoyed from all them. Myrna Santiago, Angus Wright and Mary Mackey also warmly welcomed me and my family in California, and I am very happy I had the opportunity of making friends with them. I am also deeply indebted to Piero Bevilacqua, for the very idea of the topic of this book and for continued support down the years; and to Donald Worster, for the great privilege of his friendship and for the inspiration which I have en- joyed from him over many years. I am very grateful to Joan Martinez Alier and Marta Petrusewicz for the precious advice and support they granted me on many occasions; to John McNeill and to Nancy Peluso for having read provisory, often immature, pieces of this work and for the help they generously gave me in thinking it through. Part of Chapter 3 was first presented at the Berkeley Environmental Politics Workshop in November 2007 and is now included in Nature and History in Modern Italy, edited by Marco Armiero and Marcus Hall (Ohio University Press): I wish to thank Bern Gardener for his insightful commentary and all the participants for their appreciations and suggestions. Thanks also to the Land-Lab people of UC Berkeley in 2007–08 for their comments on other parts of the chapter. Gabrielle Bouleau, Costanza D’Elia, Rohan D’Souza, Marcus Hall, Giorgos Kallis, Paolo Macry, Marta Petrusewicz, have also read and commented upon pieces of this work and I have enjoyed their insights and advice. Special thanks go to Rosaria Bellucci, Gianluca Cellupica, Ferdinando Corradini, Silvio De Majo, Giulio De Martino and Stefano Mancini for facilitating my research in Isola del Liri. xii Acknowledgments The Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra generously granted additional funds for the English revision of the text: special thanks go to Mark Walters for his conscientious job and competent suggestions about river terminology. Last, but not least, I wish to thank my parents, Renata and Lorenzo, for their long-term, long-distance and unconditional support. This book is dedicated to Marco Armiero, who has shared with me this long journey through the Liri Valley and through life; and to Giulia, for the great adventure I have enjoyed meanwhile: that of growing with her. xiii Enclosing Water Introduction We need different ideas because we need different relationships Raymond Williams, ‘Ideas of Nature’ I This book tells the story of the Industrial Revolution – probably the greatest trans- formation of society–nature relationships in the modern era – from the vantage point of a place called the Liri Valley: a roughly 10-mile region of gently sloping hills, watered by the River Liri and its tributary Fibreno, nestled within central Italy’s Apennines between Naples and Rome. The book looks at industrialisation from the banks of the river that moved the wheels of a factory system and from the standpoint of the people inhabiting and working the place1. Though challenged by many scholars and undermined by post-modernist critiques of universal meta-narratives, the concept of Industrial Revolution is main- tained here and reinterpreted in socio-ecological fashion. Of course, the idea of the Industrial Revolution as a unique and progressive paradigm of human history is faulty and does not account for the diversity of places, cultures and historical conditions2. Nevertheless, the idea that history is fragmented into a multitude of localities and differences also seems inadequate to make sense of the changes occurring in these same places. Political economy, the ‘large scale configuration of power’, as Donald Worster argues, is needed if we want to make sense of the connections between different scales and dimensions of society-nature interaction through time3. This book offers insights into how the global political economy of industrialisation and the natural environment of a particular river valley in the Mediterranean constituted each other, producing a new landscape and social formation: the ‘Manchester of the Two Sicilies’ – as the Liri Valley was called in the mid-1840s4. The book will present a prospect on a marginal Apennine area on Europe’s periphery and show how it was connected to the ideal and material reality of nineteenth century industrialisation.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia
    Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia (8th – 6th centuries BCE) An honors thesis for the Department of Classics Olivia E. Hayden Tufts University, 2013 Abstract: Although ancient Greeks were traversing the western Mediterranean as early as the Mycenaean Period, the end of the “Dark Age” saw a surge of Greek colonial activity throughout the Mediterranean. Contemporary cities of the Greek homeland were in the process of growing from small, irregularly planned settlements into organized urban spaces. By contrast, the colonies founded overseas in the 8th and 6th centuries BCE lacked any pre-existing structures or spatial organization, allowing the inhabitants to closely approximate their conceptual ideals. For this reason the Greek colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia, known for their extensive use of gridded urban planning, exemplified the overarching trajectory of urban planning in this period. Over the course of the 8th to 6th centuries BCE the Greek cities in Sicily and Magna Graecia developed many common features, including the zoning of domestic, religious, and political space and the implementation of a gridded street plan in the domestic sector. Each city, however, had its own peculiarities and experimental design elements. I will argue that the interplay between standardization and idiosyncrasy in each city developed as a result of vying for recognition within this tight-knit network of affluent Sicilian and South Italian cities. This competition both stimulated the widespread adoption of popular ideas and encouraged the continuous initiation of new trends. ii Table of Contents: Abstract. …………………….………………………………………………………………….... ii Table of Contents …………………………………….………………………………….…….... iii 1.

The article was noticed and included in the II edition of Stefan Kieniewicz’s preeminent work on the January Uprising2. A few years later, I advanced a thesis claiming that Kętrzyński restored his Polishness in an evolutionary way, and not – as he wrote – as a result of his sister’s letter in which she revealed that their father’s name was Kętrzyński, and so they were Poles, not Winklers – Germans3. In 1968, in the Os- solineum Library in Wrocław, I found 5 of his notebooks with his juvenile poetry. At that time, together with Antoni Łukaszewski, retired employee of the Region- al State Archives in Olsztyn, we could support the view established in 1970 with new sources.4 Since that time, several decades have passed.

Dopo le tragiche immagini delle 25 mucche assassinate dall’inquinamento distruttivo e speculativo dell’uomo, ci siamo resi conto, forse troppo tardi, che da un lato la nostra Valle era gravemente malata con la conseguente paura che lo potessimo essere pure noi e dall’altro lato che nulla era stato fatto nel passato per salvarla. L’industrializzazione selvaggia, voluta ad ogni costo dalla classe politica governante per il suo clientelismo, ha permesso che un incantevole paesaggio ambientale divenisse una grande fogna per gli scarichi industriali e una enorme discarica dove poter sotterrare qualsiasi schifezza. Una politica di saccheggiamento fiancheggiata dalla “balorda” giustificazione che tale sviluppo industriale incontrollato avrebbe portato ad un maggiore stabilità nella vita occupazionale delle popolazioni della Valle del Sacco, una giustificazione che ha retto poco, infatti, questo sviluppo non ha garantito un futuro occupazionale duraturo anche per le generazioni future, basta vedere l’attuale crisi occupazionale, dovuta in gran parte alle chiusure o minacciate chiusure degli opifici industriali. Inoltre bisogna considerare quanti altri posti di lavoro si sono persi a causa dell’inquinamento, basta pensare che nel 2005, più di cinquanta aziende agricole, tra Roma e Frosinone, sono state costrette a chiudere vedendo distrutti anni di sacrifici. Questa breve cronistoria vuole far capire come la drammaticità della situazione, dovrebbe non farci commettere gli errori del passato e farci capire quanto sia necessario e utile invertire la rotta della politica di sviluppo della nostra Valle nel suo recupero ambientale, paesaggistico, turistico, culturale e sociale, se non si vuole decretare la sua morte definitiva.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

Il 17 giugno 1837, a tre giorni dalla morte di Giacomo Leopardi, il Ranieri scriveva al conte Monaldo per annunciargli il triste evento. Pochi giorni dopo, il 26 giugno, riprendeva la penna per descrivergli in dettaglio gli ultimi giorni del poeta. Con più misura, il 18 luglio, gli accennava e accludeva: «la prima notizia che ho mandata del mio adorato amico a questo nostro giornale letterario intitolato il Progresso» (sc. “Il Progresso delle Scienze, delle Lettere e delle Arti”, vol. XVII, Anno VI, n. 33, quaderno di maggio, Napoli, dalla Tipografia Plautina, 1837, p. 166 s.). Si tratta di un breve necrologio, che da qualcuno, non del tutto a torto, è stato definito la miglior cosa scritta dal Ranieri su Leopardi. E certo non ha né la pesantezza né la prolissità della Notizia2 premessa all’edizione fiorentina del ‘45, e nella sua essenzialità, merita di essere conosciuto.
