July 14th became France’s National Day in 1880 as a compromise between Republicans and Royalists.Did you know that Van Gogh painted twice about Bastille day the first was at 1886 and 1890.The first one that Van Gogh painted (1886) was full of red,white and blue flags and the other (in 1890) representing the city hall of Auvers-sur-l’Oise where he was mentally treated by a doctor. In this one, the flags and garlands’ colors actually appear almost unnoticeable in the cool-toned painting. P.2 July the 14th always begings witha refused to go until he had finished his military parade.The Bastille was roast pheasant dinner. originally a royal state prison built in the 1370s to defend Paris from the English during the Hundred Years War.

  • And Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900
    The “Betrayed Resistance” in Valentino Orsini’s Corbari (1970) and Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1900 (1976) Dominic Gavin The connections between Italian film and history have been the object of renewed attention in recent years. A number of studies have provided re-readings of Italian cinema, especially from the perspective of public memory. Charting the interrelations of cinema, the public use of history, and historiography, these studies include reevaluations of the cinema of the Resistance, the war film, the Holocaust and the Fascist dictatorship.1 The ongoing debates over Resistance memory in particular—the “never-ending liberation,” in the words of one historian—have provided a motive for reconsidering popular cultural productions as vehicles of collective perceptions of the past.2 If Italian film studies came relatively late to the issues of cinema and public memory, this approach has now become mainstream.3 In this essay, I am concerned with films on the Resistance during the 1970s. These belong to a wider grouping of contemporary cinematic productions that deal with the Fascist dictatorship and antifascism. These films raise a series of critical questions. How did the general film field contribute to the wider processing of historical memory, and how did it relate to political violence in Italy?4 To what extent did the work of Italian filmmakers participate in the “new discourse” of international cinema in the 1970s concerning the treatment of Nazism and the occupation,5 or to what extent were filmmakers engaged in reaffirming populist

  • The Convoluted Road of the Communist Party of Albania: 1941-1948
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 3 No 6 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2014 The Convoluted Road of the Communist Party of Albania: 1941-1948 Etleva Babameto PhD Candidate at the State University of Tirana [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n6p117 Abstract The Communist Party of Albania, later converted into the Labor Party and subsequently into the Socialist Party, was the only political party ever in Albania until the end of the Cold War leading it upon extreme isolation. As such, it stirs up special consideration. Precisely, this paper is focused on tracing the road accomplished by the Communist Party of Albania from its foundation in 1941 to its derogation into the Labor Party of Albania in 1948. It deals with factors which determined its foundation, its role in the National Liberation movement, its legitimacy, its relations with the Communist Party of Yugoslavia and their implications upon Albanian people. Moreover, the analysis of relations with the Communist Party of Yugoslavia places a significant role in the history of the Communist Party of Albania given that it was founded and controlled through the Yugoslav emissaries in line with the goals, interests and policies of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. Yet, the journey of the Communist Party of Albania cannot be considered detached from national and international situation, namely the other resistance groups, the influence of international factor, strategic importance and attention paid to this country in the context of the Second World War and evolution following the developments both at national and international level in the course of the war years and beyond.

  • Leaving the Commonwealth: Explanations from Different Viewpoints
    Leaving the Commonwealth: explanations from different viewpoints Naam: Rixte Schermerhorn Studentnummer: 1509381 Docent: Wouter Veenendaal Bachelorproject: Kleine Staten Datum: 12-6-2017 Woordenaantal: 8315 1 Introduction Following The Gambia leaving the Commonwealth in 2013 (Hultin, Jallow, Lawrance, & Sarr, 2017), President Yameen of the Maldives recently announced in October 2016 that his country would also be leaving the Commonwealth (Safi, 2016). It is unusual for members states to leave the Commonwealth, few states that have done so usually later rejoined. Moreover, most states that did leave the Commonwealth were actually suspended from the organisation. That small states are leaving the Commonwealth at all is striking, due to the perceived benefits of being a member of the organisation. These supposed benefits range from financial resources for projects to technical assistance and policy recommendations (Commonwealth Secretariat, 2014a). However, after the presidential elections in December 2016, the new president of The Gambia announced that his state would be rejoining the Commonwealth (BBC, 2017). Consequently, this shows that the organisation still holds some appealing qualities for small states. Thus, by using the Maldives and The Gambia as case studies, the arguments for leaving the organisation despite the supposed benefits of being a member state are considered. This thesis aims to outline the various arguments on why the small states left the Commonwealth. It will predominantly focus on the arguments given in the small states the Maldives and The Gambia, whilst also taking into account the comparative views of the Commonwealth. This thesis is also of social relevance as it provides insight into how former colonies deal with their colonial past and their own identity, as well as highlighting the relationship small states have with an international organisation (‘IO’) set up by their former coloniser.
