  • 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.

    Newsletter of the Parish Church of St Peter, Jersey Issue 7: 10 May 2020 LIBERATION DAY WEEKEND 75TH ANNIVERSARY (Fifth Sunday of Eastertide) Dear Friends, Before reading my Homily please read these short pieces of scripture: Psalm 31.1-5, 15-16 1 In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; •︎ deliver me in your righteousness. 2 Incline your ear to me; •︎ make haste to deliver me. 3 Be my strong rock, a fortress to save me, for you are my rock and my stronghold; •︎ guide me, and lead me for your name’s sake. 4 Take me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, •︎ for you are my strength. 5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, •︎ for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. 15 ‘My times are in your hand; •︎ deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. 16 ‘Make your face to shine upon your servant, •︎ and save me for your mercy’s sake.’ Matthew 5.1-12 (RSV) Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
