Il fondo librario Alberto L’Abate «Ci sono circostanze un po’ magiche nella vita e una di queste ha portato i libri di Alberto presso la Biblioteca di scienze sociali dell’Università degli studi di Firenze, a costituire un fondo librario unico in Italia, in larga parte dedicato alla Nonviolenza. Nel luglio 2007 il comitato scientifico della Biblioteca ha approvato l’offerta di dono dei libri di Alberto, che lui stesso ci descrive: “I libri riguardavano le varie materie approfondite durante gli studi svolti sia in Italia che all’estero (a Firenze, presso le Facoltà di Scienze Politiche e di Magistero, a Parigi presso l’Ecole des Hautes Etudes ; in Inghilterra, presso la Tavinstock Clinic, negli Stati Uniti, ad Harvard, presso il Centro Studi sulla nonviolenza diretto da Gene Sharp; in India presso la Gandhigram University nel Tamilnadu), e insegnate alle Università di Ferrara e di Firenze, ed alle Scuole di Servizio Sociale di Firenze e di Siena. In particolare i libri, dei quali molti anche in lingua inglese, riguardavano la sociologia generale, la metodologia della ricerca, sociologie particolari (come quelle urbana e rurale, dell’educazione, della salute – intesa come benessere fisico, psichico e sociale), le scienze politiche, l’antropologia culturale, il servizio sociale, la pedagogia e la psicologia. Ma una rilevanza particolare avevano, nella biblioteca L’Abate, la previsione e prevenzione dei conflitti armati (con una forte presenza, soprattutto in 1 lingua inglese, ma vari anche in albanese ed in serbo, di libri sul conflitto serbo– albanese sul Kossovo); la risoluzione nonviolenta dei conflitti e la nonviolenza come strumento di difesa e di trasformazione sociale (con moltissimi dei libri, anche di quelli non tradotti in italiano, di Johan Galtung, di Gandhi, di Martin Luther King, e tra gli italiani, di Aldo Capitini, Danilo Dolci, don Lorenzo Milani. Padre Ernesto Balducci); l’educazione alla pace ed alla nonviolenza, i problemi attuali dello sviluppo e le sue possibili alternative. Faceva inoltre parte della biblioteca anche la collezione quasi completa della rivista fondata da Aldo Capitini”. I libri sono stati catalogati grazie ad un finanziamento speciale e già dal 2008 sono a disposizione di chiunque desideri consultarli. […] Per le tante richieste i volumi sono stati trasferiti dal magazzino allo scaffale aperto, per agevolarne la consultazione diretta da parte di studenti e ricercatori. È come se questi libri aspettassero di avere la possibilità di circolare e farsi leggere il più possibile, uscendo dalle stanze di Alberto. È un segno che corrispondono ad interessi di lettura e di ricerca tutt’altro che rari, che vi era un’aspettativa che fino a quel momento l’offerta documentaria della biblioteca non era stata in grado di soddisfare. In questo senso il dono dei libri di Alberto è doppiamente prezioso, e ci fa ben sperare per il futuro.» [Lucilla Conigliello, Il fondo librario Alberto L’Abate presso la Biblioteca di scienze sociali dell’Università di Firenze, in Alberto L’Abate, L’arte della pace, Pisa: Ghandi edizioni, 2014, pp. 145-147] Il fondo, incrementato nel tempo, è composto da oltre 4.000 monografie italiane e straniere (principalmente in lingua inglese e francese) che, d'accordo col donatore, sono state suddivise in sei sezioni corrispondenti alle seguenti aree disciplinari e tipologie di documenti: Antropologia-Sociologia, Psicologia-Pedagogia-Filosofia, Scienze Politiche-Storia, Pace-Nonviolenza, Scritti del donatore, Metodologia.

Lavanam: Fighting for Independence as a Boy and Uplifting Tribals as a Man! The late Mr Lavanam was honoured with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award in the category of ‘Constructive Work’. Mr Lavanam was a dynamic social activist. The son of Mrs Gora, who was an atheist and received Gandhiji’s recognition and respect, he was born to Brahmin parentage but married Hemalata, a Dalit girl, at a time when untouchability was highly prevalent. He did not seek a bread-winning job and 2 accepted voluntary poverty along with his parents. Hemlata was also actively involved in the welfare of women and has established and managed schools for underprivileged girls. In the year 2009, the late Mr Lavanam was honoured with the Jamnalal Bajaj Award in the category of ‘Constructive Work’. Mr Lavanam was interested in social work since he was 12. His earliest work was as a young volunteer in the Independence movement, when he acted as a courier, clandestinely passing messages to leaders. Subsequently, he was in Mahatma Gandhiji’s Ashram in Sevagram where he received basic training in Gandhian Philosophy of social work. He later worked with his father – who would conduct night classes in Dalit colonies and also organise social events where “untouchables” and upper caste people dined together. He imbibed the spirit of this kind of Gandhian activism from his father.

  • Space, Politics, and the Uncanny in Fiction and Social Movements

    Space, Politics, and the Uncanny in Fiction and Social Movements

    MADNESS AS A WAY OF LIFE: SPACE, POLITICS AND THE UNCANNY IN FICTION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Justine Lutzel 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 2013 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Gorsevski William Albertini © 2013 Justine Lutzel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Madness as a Way of Life examines T.V. Reed’s concept of politerature as a means to read fiction with a mind towards its utilization in social justice movements for the mentally ill. Through the lens of the Freudian uncanny, Johan Galtung’s three-tiered systems of violence, and Gaston Bachelard’s conception of spatiality, this dissertation examines four novels as case studies for a new way of reading the literature of madness. Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House unveils the accusation of female madness that lay at the heart of a woman’s dissatisfaction with domestic space in the 1950s, while Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island offers a more complicated illustration of both post-traumatic stress syndrome and post-partum depression. Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain and Curtis White’s America Magic Mountain challenge our socially- accepted dichotomy of reason and madness whereby their antagonists give up success in favor of isolation and illness. While these texts span chronology and geography, each can be read in a way that allows us to become more empathetic to the mentally ill and reduce stigma in order to effect change.

    Madness, Resistance, and Representation in Contemporary British and Irish Theatre

    Madness, Resistance, and Representation in Contemporary British and Irish Theatre Submitted by Jonathan Edward Venn to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama, October 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) . 1 Mum. Dad. Lizzie. It runs in the family. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis questions how theatre can act as a site of resistance against the political structures of madness. It analyzes a variety of plays from the past 25 years of British and Irish theatre in order to discern what modes of resistance are possible, and the conceptual lines upon which they follow. It questions how these modes of resistance are imbibed in the representation of madness. It discerns what way these modes relate specifically to the theatrical, and what it is the theatrical specifically has to offer these conceptualizations. It achieves this through a close textual and performative analysis of the selected plays, interrogating these plays from various theoretical perspectives. It follows and explores different conceptualizations across both political and ethical lay lines, looking at what composes the theatrical practical critique, how theatre can alter and play with space, how theatre capacitate the act of witnessing, and the possibility of re-invigorating the ethical encounter through theatrical means.
