  • Chi È Enrico Letta a Perché Ce L'ho Tanto Con
    Chi è Enrico Letta a perché ce l’ho tanto con lui di Luigi Scialanca Enrico Letta: Non penso che Monti tornerà alla Bocconi e sarebbe negativo se lo facesse. In questo anno Monti e Bersani si sono intesi bene, sono certo che troveranno la soluzione migliore. Vorrei aggiungere che le primarie hanno dimostrato il grande ruolo che Renzi ha avuto nel regalare nuovi consensi al Pd: sarebbe un errore se non creassimo le condizioni per farlo uscire dalla città di Firenze, spero che al più presto sia in pista al fianco di Bersani nel guidare la nostra coalizione verso le elezioni. (La Repubblica, lunedì 10 dicembre 2012). Qualcuno per caso si sta domandando come mai io ce l’abbia così tanto col Letta Enrico? Bene. Comin- ciamo dal gennaio 2009, quando il Letta Enrico, agli ordini del Veltroni Walter, era ministro-ombra (o, per meglio dire, ombra di ministro) del Lavoro. E ragionava così: Vogliamo essere un partito tempora- neamente all’opposizione o una forza strutturalmente minoritaria? Nel secondo caso dobbiamo rendere soddisfatti di sé gli elettori progressisti, richiamarci alla piazza, agli scioperi generali, alla diversità mo- rale... e vivere contenti e perdenti. Altrimenti, cominciamo a lavorare per sedurre l’elettorato moderato. Due mesi dopo, nel marzo 2009, ecco il Letta Enrico duettare con l’Ichino Pietro contro i lavoratori e i pensionati: Chi paga la disoccupazione? Una parte del Pd non ha dubbi: i lavoratori. In due maniere: per Enrico Letta e l’economista Nicola Rossi, i fondi possono essere raccattati agendo sulle pensioni: au- mentando l’età pensionabile, a partire dalle donne, e tagliando la quota dello stipendio che transita nel- l’assegno previdenziale.

Dunelm, M.A. Sheffield Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Arts University of Glasgow 2012 Dedicated to Dr Howard Thomas Miles (1931-2006) Abstract Battlefield sites are some of the most iconic locations in any nation’s store of heritage attractions and continue to capture the imagination of visitors. They have strong historic, cultural, nationalistic and moral resonances and speak to people on a national as well as a local scale. They have the power to provoke contention but at the same time foster understanding and respect through the consideration of deep moral questions. Battlefields are suffused with powerful stories of courage, sacrifice, betrayal and even cowardice. They have a strong sense of place and can provoke a range of cognitive and emotional reactions.

  • Preface Ho Chi Minh: “A Great Man of Culture”
    PREFACE HO CHI MINH: “A GREAT MAN OF CULTURE” n November 1987, in anticipation of the centenary of the birth Iof Ho Chi Minh in 1990, the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) considered that “the international celebration of the anniversaries of eminent intellectual and cultural personalities contributes to the realization of UNESCO’s objectives and to international understanding,” and passed resolutions to recognize Ho Chi Minh as among the “great personalities … [who] have left an imprint on the development of the humanity.”iv The Gen- eral Conference acknowledged Ho Chi Minh as “a Vietnamese hero of national liberation and great man of culture”and “an out- standing symbol of national affirmation. [He] devoted his whole life to the national liberation of the Vietnamese people, contribut- ing to the common struggle of peoples for peace, national inde- pendence, democracy and social progress.”v The resolutions also suggested that the important and many-sided contribution of Presi- dent Ho Chi Minh in the field of culture, education and the arts crystallizes the cultural tradition of the Viet- namese people which stretches back several thousand years, and that his ideals embody the aspirations of peo- ples in the affirmation of their cultural identity and the promotion of mutual understanding.vi The General Conference encouraged the Member States to join in the commemoration “as a tribute to his memory, in order to spread knowledge of the greatness of his ideals and of his work for national liberation.”vii Ho Chi Minh’s work for national lib- eration was best known through his claiming independence for Vietnam from French colonialism.
