The paper secondly presents previous research in students’ perception of historical significance (Seixas, 1997, Cercadillo, 2000 and 2001, Rosenzweig, 2000), as well as significance typologies from previous research (Bradshaw, 2006 and Allsop 2009.) Finally the paper focuses on twenty-two, 15-years-old, students in Greece, who for the school year 2010-2011 covered the big ‘sweep’ of the ‘long 19th’ and the ‘short 20th’ centuries in their history classes. The students were asked to locate the most historically significant events within the taught time period (from 1789 to

    1954, Addio Trieste... The Triestine Community of Melbourne Adriana Nelli A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University November 2000 -^27 2->v<^, \U6IL THESIS 994.5100451 NEL 30001007178181 Ne 1 li, Adriana 1954, addio Trieste— the Triestine community of MeIbourne I DECLARATION I hereby declare that this thesis is the product of my original work, including all translations from Italian and Triestine. An earlier form of Chapter 5 appeared in Robert Pascoe and Jarlath Ronayne, eds, The passeggiata of Exile: The Italian Story in Australia (Victoria University, Melbourne, 1998). Parts of my argument also appeared in 'L'esperienza migratoria triestina: L'identita' culturale e i suoi cambiamenti' in Gianfranco Cresciani, ed., Giuliano-Dalmati in Australia: Contributi e testimonianze per una storia (Associazione Giuliani nel Mondo, Trieste, 1999). Adriana Nelli ABSTRACT Triestine migration to Australia is the direct consequence of numerous disputations over the city's political boundaries in the immediate post- World War II period. As such the triestini themselves are not simply part of an overall migratory movement of Italians who took advantage of Australia's post-war immigration program, but their migration is also the reflection of an important period in the history of what today is known as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.. 1954 marked the beginning of a brief but intense migratory flow from the city of Trieste towards Australia. Following a prolonged period of Anglo-American administration, the city had been returned to Italian jurisdiction once more; and with the dismantling of the Allied caretaker government and the subsequent economic integration of Trieste into the Italian State, a climate of uncertainty and precariousness had left the Triestines psychologically disenchanted and discouraged.

  • The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste
    Alexis De Greiff The tale of two peripheries The Tale of Two Peripheries: The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste Publicado con cambios menores en Historical Studies of Physical and Biological Sciences (Special Issue, Alexis De Greiff y David Kaiser, eds.) Vol. 33, Part 1 (2002), pp. 33-60. Alexis De Greiff* Abstract: This paper can be seen in the intersection between history of 20th-century physics, diplomatic history and international relations of science. In this work I analyze the dynamics of the negotiations to create the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, which took place between 1960 and 1963 at the International Atomic Energy Agency. In contrast to previous studies on the creation of international scientific institutions, I pay special attention to the active role played by scientists, politicians and intellectuals from the host-city, Trieste (Italy). Further, I spell out the historical circumstances that allowed this group of local actors to become key figures in the establishment of the Centre. I discuss in detail their interests as well as the political and scientific environment that eventually catalysed the diplomatic efforts of the Trieste elite. The present paper is also concerned with the strategies adopted by the advocates of the idea to confront the hostility of delegations from several industrialized countries, the Soviet Union and India. A frontier is a strip which divides and links, a sour gash like a wound which heals with difficulty, a no-man’s land, a mixed territory, whose inhabitants often feel that they do not belong to any clearly-defined country, or at least they do not belong to any country with that obvious certainty with which one usually identifies with ones native land.

  • TRIESTE : Oxford
    INSTITUTE OP CURRENT WORLD APFAIRS D-26 St. Antony' s Collee, TRIESTE : Oxford. Too much to Die, Too 6th Hay, 1960. Little o Live. Hr. Richard H. Nolte, Institute of Current World Affairs, 366 adlson Avenue, New York. 17, N.Y. Dear r. Nolte: Trieste is the liveliest dying city imaginable. I came to it from a fortnight pleasantly rediscovering Florence, Siena, Ravenna and Venlce; and the contrast was striking. There is a sense of vitality and busyness and even prosperity about the crowds on the Corso Italia that I had not felt elsewhere, even in Florence, where the seasonal tourist rush was already underway. By ten o' clock at night oher provincial Italian cities have quietly rolled up their sidewalks and gone to sleep -un-Italian of them -but not Trieste. The restaurants, the cafes and the streets are full, the Teatro Verdi has a better and more frequent program than could be found in Florence or Venice, and although it was a cool April and the Bora was blowing- the open-air Jukebox dance pavilions along the waterfront are doing a rush business even on weeknights. There are as many new cars and motorscooters on the Trieste streets as in any other northern Itallsn city. The Chamber of Commerce, which fills an entire building with efficient secretaries and bustling bureaus, pours out a flood of attractive brochures extolling the incomparable virtues of the port and industrial district of Trieste. The only jarring note in this idyll of superficial prosperity is the curiously empty harbour: three ships at anchor in What was, in 1913, the eighth ranking port in the world.

  • On the Descent of John Owen Dominis, Prince Consort of Queen Liliuokalani
    On the Descent of John Owen Dominis, Prince Consort of Queen Liliuokalani Dr. Ante Kovacevic FOREWORD Before my first trip to the Hawaiian Islands in 1966, I read James Michener's Hawaii. Besides my enjoyment in reading Michener's masterpiece, I was particularly interested in the name of Queen Liliuokalani's husband, John Owen Dominis, because it seemed to me that he might be a countryman of mine, as the name is typical of Dalmatia, a province of the republic of Croatia in Yugoslavia, along the eastern Adriatic coast. I was very much surprised as I had never read or heard anything about that name in connection with the Hawaiian Islands. Meanwhile I received a letter from a friend of mine, who knew that I intended to make that trip, asking me whether I knew that Mark Anthony Dominis, the great theologian, physicist and mathematician of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was a king of Hawaii. I answered that the first western man to see the Hawaiian Islands was the great English explorer and navigator Captain James Cook, who discovered them in 1778, and that Mark Anthony Dominis was not a man who would have kept quiet about anything that important. This was the first of many fantastic and impossible stories which I read or heard about and which I will return to later on. I became enthused with the Hawaiian people and Hawaiian scenery, with the lush vegetation and unique climate, so I started to read about Hawaii and Hawaiian history. While reading, I noticed that two men, carriers of a Dalmatian name, Captain John Dominis and his son, John Owen Dominis, played a significant role in Hawaiian history, but that very little was known about the descent of these men, and the information available seemed to be erroneously recorded.

Therefore, there are non-italicized words such as journal titles and may be some typos and omitted letters in this manuscript. Please refer to the original paper if necessary. ‘Trieste Nazione’ and its geographies of absence Claudio Minca Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK, [email protected] The aim of this introductory essay is to offer a broad overview of the histories and geographies of Trieste stressing, in particular, the ways in which interpretations of Trieste’s past have been structured by a distinct set of tropes; a distinct set of geographical imaginations. I will argue that it is only by engaging with these recurrent tropes, with these recurrent geographical imaginations, that we can begin to understand the ways in which the city represents its past—and its present. In this sense, the aim of this essay is to provide some necessary historical—but also ‘ideal’—context for the more empirical investigations of the city’s contemporary and historical geographies that make up this special issue. Key words: Trieste, identity, nation, Europe, geography of absence. paved the way to some of the darkest and Trieste’s horizons bloodiest national(ist) territorialisations in Europe.

  • The Cultural Heritage of Tirnavos and Its Impact on the Local Adolescents
    JOURNAL "SUSTAIBABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS".......................... Volume 1/2013 THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF TIRNAVOS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE LOCAL ADOLESCENTS Evangelia Georgitsoyianni Professor in History of Art and Civilization, Harokopio University of Athens [email protected] Sapfo Mortaki Adjunct Lecturer, Harokopio University of Athens [email protected] Sophia Mpoukouvala Graduate of Home Economics and Ecology, Harokopio University of Athens [email protected] Abstract The aim of the present study is to explore the cultural heritage of the city of Tirnavos and its impact amongst the teenagers of the region. The dialectic relation between the subject-person and the object-artifact is considered as a broader form of cultural communication that moulds a person’s personality, helps in discovering meaning in the surrounding world, while, at the same time, exercises the judgmental ability to attribute meaning and value to the objects. It is indispensable for the adolescent to obtain a “social identity” for the purpose of a creative integration into society. Only then the adolescent can be considered as an active member of the social community. It is, therefore, crucial that the adolescents of the city of Tirnavos are familiar both with their physical surroundings as well as the intangible heritage of their hometown. For that we used a questionnaire in a sample of 126 local adolescents aged 13-18 years. The research tool consisted of two parts, one for collecting demographic data about the teenagers as well as their families and the second for evaluating their knowledge of their cultural heritage. Considering the findings of our research, it is impressive that while most of the adolescents seem to be familiar with the city’s monuments and museums, a very scarce number has actually visited them.

Northern Greece is the least well documented of the regions which were reached by the 8th and 7th c. B.C. Greek colonists. Not only does the study of the Andrian colonies augment the available documentation on the northern Greeks, it also provides an opportunity to examine one mother-city's overall colonization process. Through the sum of ancient sources and archaeological data pertaining to the four Andrian colonies, the study attempts to lay out the socio-economic history of the colonies as a whole and as separate entities. Such aspects as: 1) The foundation dates; the colonization process; 2) the relations with the indigenous populations; and 3) the economic relations with the other Greek colonies in the region, as well as the major centers of the Greek mainland, are examined.
