This dissertation examines literary works, folktales, folksongs, artworks, buildings and urban planning as imprints and cultural constructions of Italianità on both sides of the Atlantic, with a special emphasis on the transformations experienced on that journey. The real and/or imagined geo-cultural similarities between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean encouraged pioneers in Southeast Florida to conjure in their new setting an idea of Italianità, regardless of the presence of Italians in the area. Therefore, assessing Italianità, constitutes an important feature in understanding cultural constructions of identities in Miami and neighboring areas. This study, seeks to add Southeast Florida’s Caribbean-Italian identity to the existing scholarship on several Italian diaspora representations, whether from a cultural ethnic perspective or from a sense of national belonging. More generally, it will show that there was no quintessential Italian national culture, but only representations of it that élites in Italy and South Florida manufactured, and on the other hand, immigrants imagined and performed upon arrival to America. v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE INTRODUCTION: THE CONCEPT OF ITALIANITÀ ..................................................... 1 Casting: Italians or Paesani? ........................................................................................ 8 Scripting: Italianità in Italy and Southeast Florida ................................................... 13 Acting.

  • Passive Revolution: a Universal Concept with Geographical Seats
    1 Passive revolution: A universal concept with geographical seats Abstract In this article, I argue that Antonio Gramsci’s concept of passive revolution makes a foundational contribution to International Relations (IR), yet has been relatively under appreciated by the broader discipline. Within the Historical Sociology of International Relations, uneven and combined development has recently been postulated as a key trans-historical law that provides a social theory of the ‘international’. Drawing from, but moving beyond these debates, I will argue that passive revolution is a key conditioning factor of capitalist modernity. I will demonstrate how the concept of passive revolution is the element that explains the connection between the universal process of uneven development and the manner in which specific combinations occur within the capitalist era as geo- political pressures, in tandem with domestic social forces become internalised into geographically specific state forms. It therefore offers a corrective to the frequently aspatial view that is found in much of the literature in IR regarding uneven and combined development. Additionally, passive revolution provides a more politicised understanding of the present as well as an important theoretical lesson in relation to what needs to be done to affect alternative trajectories of development. Key words Gramsci, passive revolution, uneven development, capitalism, revolution 2 Introduction The title of this article takes its cue from a remark by Antonio Gramsci in the Prison Notebooks

  • Jacobinism from Outside
    Rapport, M. (2015) Jacobinism from outside. In: Andress, D. (ed.) The Oxford Handbook of the French Revolution. Series: Oxford handbooks. Oxford University Press: Oxford, pp. 503-520. ISBN 9780199639748. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/122611/ Deposited on: 17 August 2016 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk 1 Jacobinism from Outside In 1796, as a war-weary British government sought peace talks with the French Republic, Edmund Burke railed against treating with the ‘regicides’. The European conflict, he argued, was in fact a civil war, ‘between the partizans of the antient, civil, moral, and political order of Europe against a sect of ambitious and fanatical atheists which means to change them all.’ The Jacobinism, he insisted, was a ‘sect aiming at universal empire’.1 Burke was not alone: John Robison, a Scottish natural philosopher, and the former Jesuit, Augustin de Barruel, both published works in 1797 arguing that the revolution was an international conspiracy of freemasons and freethinkers. For Barruel, Jacobinism was nothing less than Freemasonry finally revealing its ultimate, dark purpose. Cranky though such claims now appear, in the late 1790s for Europeans bending before the roar of revolution and war, they offered an all- embracing explanation for the crisis.2 Yet Barruel, Burke and Robison used the term ‘Jacobin’ very loosely, reinforcing a conservative tendency to define any dissent as dangerous. Almost always inaccurate, such a use of the label probably seemed more plausible because ‘Jacobinism’ rapidly changed in France itself, as the Revolution rattled forward on its breakneck course.

By feminization, this dissertation refers both to the gradual assumption of the majority of elementary teaching positions by women and to a transformation in the nature of the position itself. Through an examination of educational periodicals, school records, government inquests, and accounts by teachers and pedagogical theorists, it argues that rather than the unintended consequence of economic constraints or shifting labor patterns, feminization was fundamentally connected to larger processes of centralization and modernization in the Italian school system. Following an introductory chapter outlining the major national, religious, and gender debates of ii the Unification era, the second chapter of the dissertation argues that the figure of the female elementary teacher became embroiled in the contest between local and national interests, furthering the drive toward centralization.

  • SDS's Failure to Realign the Largest Political Coalition in the 20Th Century
    NEW DEAL TO NEW MAJORITY: SDS’S FAILURE TO REALIGN THE LARGEST POLITICAL COALITION IN THE 20TH CENTURY Michael T. Hale A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2015 Committee: Clayton Rosati, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Oliver Boyd-Barret Bill Mullen ii ABSTRACT Clayton Rosati, Advisor Many historical accounts of the failure of the New Left and the ascendency of the New Right blame either the former’s militancy and violence for its lack of success—particularly after 1968—or the latter’s natural majority among essentially conservative American voters. Additionally, most scholarship on the 1960s fails to see the New Right as a social movement. In the struggles over how we understand the 1960s, this narrative, and the memoirs of New Leftists which continue that framework, miss a much more important intellectual and cultural legacy that helps explain the movement’s internal weakness. Rather than blame “evil militants” or a fixed conservative climate that encircled the New Left with both sanctioned and unsanctioned violence and brutality––like the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) counter intelligence program COINTELPRO that provide the conditions for a unstoppable tidal wave “with the election of Richard M. Nixon in 1968 and reached its crescendo in the Moral Majority, the New Right, the Reagan administration, and neo-conservatism” (Breines “Whose New Left” 528)––the key to this legacy and its afterlives, I will argue, is the implicit (and explicit) essentialism bound to narratives of the “unwinnability” of especially the white working class.

  • Vico, Hegel and a New Historicism
    Hegelians on the Slopes of Vesuvius: A Transnational Study in the Intellectual History of Naples, 1799-1861 Alessandro De Arcangelis, University College London Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University College London, April 2018 I, Alessandro De Arcangelis, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who supported me in this challenging and exciting journey and contributed, in many ways, to its development and completion. Working with my main supervisor, Prof. Axel Körner, has been a terrific experience and I am deeply grateful for his undefeated enthusiasm, impeccable support, steady encouragement and, above all, for offering me so many opportunities to grow as a researcher. My second supervisor, Prof. Avi Lifschitz, has always been a dedicated mentor, whose point of view has been helping me improve my way of engaging with intellectual history since the very first day of my MA degree in 2013. I genuinely hope that the future may hold many more opportunities for me to work with them. A special mention goes to Dr. Fernanda Gallo: our common passion for Neapolitan Hegelianism has introduced us to a priceless friendship and enabled us to work together on several projects during the last year. Dr. Maurizio Isabella provided me with useful comments that greatly helped my argument to come into focus, as did Prof. Gareth Stedman Jones in 2015 and 2017. I also want to thank Dr.

    A HISTORICAL ESSAY ON THE NEAPOLITAN REVOLUTION OF 1799 Vincenzo Cuoco Edited and Introduced by Bruce Haddock and Filippo Sabetti Translated by David Gibbons Approx. 336 pp / 1 illustration, 2 maps / 6 x 9 / February 2015 Cloth 978-1-4426-4945-3 $70.00 Discount Price $56.00 One of the leading lights of the Neapolitan Enlightenment, Vincenzo Cuoco (1770–1823) was forced into exile for his involvement in the failed Neapolitan revolution of 1799. Living in Milan, he wrote what became one of the most important accounts of political revolution written in the nineteenth century. Cuoco’s Historical Essay synthesized Machiavelli, Vico, and the Neapolitan Enlightenment in search of an explanation of why revolutions succeed or fail. It was a major influence on political thought during theRisorgimento and an inspiration in the twentieth- century for thinkers as far apart politically as Benedetto Croce on the right and Antonio Gramsci on the left. With an authoritative introduction to the text and its significance,A Historical Essay on the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799 finally makes this seminal historical and philosophical text accessible to an English-speaking audience.
