Modern Italy SRISA Course Number: HIST 4301 Maryville Course Number: HIST 343 Credits: 3, Contact Hours: 45 Lecture Course Santa Reparata International School of Art Course Syllabus Semester Course Course Title: The History of Modern Italy SRISA Course Number: HIST 4301 Maryville Course Number: HIST 343 Credits: 3, Contact Hours: 45 1. COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will study the history of Modern Italy from the Risorgimento and continue on through the development and decline of the liberal Italian state; Mussolini and Italian Fascism; World War II; and post World War II Italy; up through recent historical events. Introduction to major literary, cinematographic and artistic movements are covered as well as social aspects of Italian life including topics such as the Italian political system; the development of the Italian educational system; the roots and influence of the Italian Mafia; and the changing roll of the woman in Italian society. 2. CONTENT INTRODUCTION This course introduces students to the history and politics of modern Italy from the time of its political Unification to the present. The major topics covered throughout the course include the process of political unification in the mid-late 1800s; the birth and growth of Fascism in Italy (1922-1943); the Second World War (1940-45); the workings of governing institutions in the post-war period (1946-48); the role of the Church; political parties and movements; the process of massive industrialization (1950-60’s); political terrorist events (1960-80’s); as well as political corruption and political conspiracy. There will also be an in-depth analysis of the political crisis and transformation of the Italian democratic system in the early 1990s. 3. PREREQUISITES As this course is an introduction to modern and contemporary Italian history, there are no special requirements to attend. 4. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This course is intended to provide students – whether they are majors in History, Political Science or whether they have taken only an introductory course – with specific answers to the question "what is Italy?". It is intended to stimulate discussion and critical thinking about representations and idealizations of the concept of Italy, its role during the 20th century in particular, as well as its current significance. Students will develop their awareness and understanding of the major historical and political issues that characterize modern Italy, and they will be able to trace them through the history of the past two centuries. They will also be able to identify the main regional cultural traits and differences. Students should gain a command not only of the "facts" of modern Italian political history; the dates of key events; the importance of major personalities and such, but also come to understand the dynamics involved such as the basic trends of continuity and change; and the cause and effect and the role and influence of regional, national and international events in the Italian historical and political scenario. 5.

    Lecture Course Santa Reparata International School of Art Course Syllabus Semester Course Course Title: History of Contemporary Italy: Literature, Cinema, Politics and Culture SRISA Course Number: POLI 3102 Maryville Course Number: PSCI 370 Credits: 3, Contact Hours: 45 1. COURSE DESCRIPTION In this course students will study the history of Contemporary Italy from WWII (the 1940’s and the birth of the Italian Republic) and continue on through to the development and the radical change of the country during the 1960’s, the long Anni Settanta and the so called “years of lead”, contemporary Italian politics up through most recent historical events. Introduction to major literary, cinematographic and artistic movements are covered as well as social aspects of Italian life including topics such as the Italian political system; the development of the Italian educational system; the roots and influence of the Italian Mafia; and the changing role of women in Italian society. 2. CONTENT INTRODUCTION This course introduces students to the history and politics of contemporary Italy from the time of WWII to the present. The course is divided into five parts, with the first part focusing on the transformation of the country and its eventual industrialization. We will study the reconstruction and economic boom of the 1950s and 1960s, social post-war conflict, and the year 1968 - with the student and worker protests - and the final changing of Italian social geography. Great importance will be given to internal migration, from south to north and to the development of the Mafia. The second part of the course focuses on the history of the 1970s, later called the “Years of Lead”, because of terrorist escalation culminating with the assassination of MP Aldo Moro in May 1978 by the Red Brigades.

Davvero, il periodo della storia italiana, che va dal 1969 al 1975, caratterizzato da molteplici tentativi di golpe e dallo stragismo, è stato manovrato da determinati servizi segreti «paralleli»? I servizi segreti italiani, sono stati «deviati» ed inquinati da singoli elementi che hanno operato al loro interno? E fino a che punto, le superpotenze, come gli Stati Uniti d’America, hanno condizionato le scelte italiane in questo settore? Si può davvero dimostrare l’esistenza di uno Stato «parallelo», e di conseguenza confermare la cosiddetta Teoria del «Doppio» Stato? Queste, le ipotesi avanzate. L’elaborato, non pretende di dare una risposta alla miriade di interrogativi: fornisce piuttosto, una analisi storiografica ben dettagliata e rigorosa fino al possibile, affinché possa essere gettata un po' di luce, su questa «oscura pagina» della storia italiana.

  • Italy and Its Traumatic Past
    How to Transform a ‘Place of Violence’ into a ‘Space of Collective Remembering’: Italy and its Traumatic Past Anna Lisa Tota* Abstract: This paper seeks to analyse cultural trauma theories and their consequences as well as their potential applicability to cases of collective trauma where access to the legal arena in the rehabilitation process is not possible. When ‘state terror’ occurs, such as in Latin America, or, more arguably Italy, access to the legal arena is systematically denied through a variety of criminal strategies. In these cases, the cultural working through of trauma takes place on the aesthetic level. What are the consequences of this process both for the inscription of the crucial event in public discourse and for its relationship with justice? Moreover, how do aesthetic codes affect the public definition of justice and a collective understanding of what happened? Introduction1 A new wave of international terrorism has emerged in the wake of the attacks of September 11, March 11 and July 7 affecting our common perceptions of risk, justice and everyday life. These attacks challenged existing ideas about the state, war, torture, prison, human rights and presented a host of new questions for intellectuals, social scientists, artists, politicians and common citizens to consider. The question of how to locate terror in the public space is a complex question but it can be analysed by considering the nature itself of the aesthetic codes used to transform a place of violence into a space of collective remembering. This process of transforming place is shaped by the performative nature of the narratives used in the different national contexts.

  • La Violenza Politica Che L'italia Democratica Deve Affrontare A
    La violenza politica che l'Italia democratica deve affrontare a partire dagli anni Settanta, ha due punti di riferimento, seppure non sempre facilmente identificabili: il lascito psicologico, culturale e politico del fascismo repubblicano di Salò da un lato, e quello della Resistenza dall'altro. In ambedue i casi, I'irriducibilità di queste estreme minoranze muove da un presupposto mitico. Per gli eredi di Salò si tratta delI'onore della patria tradito dal re e da Badoglio. E’ per riscattare il disonore che tanti giovani, cresciuti nella scuola fascista, si impegnano nell’ultima disperata militanza a Salò. Dai ranghi della Repubblica Sociale viene il nucleo fondante della destra neofascista nel II dopoguerra; e agli ideali del fascismo di Salò vanno riportati mentalità e propositi di quella base missina movimentista in cui viene reclutata la manovalanza per golpe e stragi . A questa sempre più lontana e generica matrice fascista, si aggiungeranno, col passare del tempo altri miti, quelli dell'arianesimo e del nazionalsocialismo hitleriano o addirittura quelli della ritualità celtica come espressione di una Europa forte, pura, e superiore, da contrapporre all'Est comunista e al capitalismo occidentale, soprattutto americano. Proprio una Europa vista come terza potenza mondiale, ma vissuta come rivincita sulla guerra perduta dal nazifascismo darà il nome “Terza posizione” ad una delle più importanti organizzazioni dell'eversione nera che sarà poi il serbatoio di reclutamento dei gruppi di fuoco dei NAR. Prevalentemente di segno operaio e studentesco, con diffuso reclutamento nell'emarginazione, è invece lo spazio sociale delI'eversione rossa; essa si radicalizzerà con il crescere di quella nera fino a riempire la scena intorno alla metà degli anni Settanta, quando si scatenerà il terrorismo rosso.

    Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due about:reader?url=https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/secret-societies-i... thegreatcoursesdaily.com Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due 9-11 minutes By Richard Spence, Ph.D., University of Idaho Italian politics, after the end of the two world wars, was a very messy spectrum, comprising a number of groups lying on the left or the right, the communists or fascists, or something in between. What was even more fascinating, however, was the presence of secret societies and lodges. One of the better-known ones was the Propaganda Due, or P-2, which had many high-profile names as its members. 1 of 8 2021/05/02, 13:41 Secret Societies in Italy: Origins of Propaganda Due about:reader?url=https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/secret-societies-i... Propaganda Due, or P2, had its roots in masonic lodges, but ran much deeper in reality. It had complex political connections, and was believed to be the secret government of Italy. (Image: Cris Foto/Shutterstock) The Discovery of the P-2 Roster On March 17, 1981, in the Tuscan town of Arezzo, a special anti- corruption force stormed the home of a local mattress manufacturer, Licio Gelli, suspected to have connections to two fugitive bankers: Roberto Calvi and Michele Sindona. Rumored to be members of the secretive Masonic lodge, Propaganda Due, or P-2, Gelli’s papers were expected to hold information about the fugitives. Instead, however, the police found a membership roster for the lodge, consisting of an astounding 962 names. Even more surprising was that the Italian law enforcement agency Guardia di Finanza’s own commander, Orazio Giannini, was also on the list.
