It focuses on the writings of two of Italy’s most controversial, and influential, figures during and after the First World War. I show how mutilated and prosthetic bodies become powerful political metaphors for both Marinetti and D’Annunzio, which upend and transform the notion of the body politic in posthuman, postliberal and antidemocratic ways.

Antropol. 40 40 (2016) (2016) 4: 4: 231–246 231–246 Original scientifi c paper Peeping under the Rijeka Patch – Problems of Inter-ethnic Relations and the Establishment of Hungarian National Identity in Rijeka at the Beginning of the 20th century1 Krešimir Sučević Međeral Institute for Croatian Language and Linguistics, Zagreb, Croatia ABSTRACT Using the material collected from Rijeka’s periodicals in Hungarian, primarily from the period 1903–1906, the article displays the problems of establishing a unique national identity in a city whose history has been strongly marked by ethnic diversity. Since the observed material belongs to a discourse that is politically and ideologically dominant but demographically inferior on the fi eld, it is interesting to observe the methods used to reduce its unfavorable position, while at the same time trying to maintain credibility and to not turn into an open ideological propaganda – with varying success and the fi nal outcome.

Fu un buon suddito dell'Impero asburgico, di cui portò la divisa da ufficiale. Alla finedella Grande Guerra, Ruggero capì immediatamente che il crollo del vasto ed antico impero avrebbe messo l'amata città di Fiume in una situazione pericolosis­ sima: privata del suo entroterra naturale, soggettaalla concorrenza di portivicini, nonché teatro di scontri etnici resi violenti dalla guerra appena conclusa. Cercò con pazienza e con grave rischio personale di dare a Fiume una tregua, in modo da consentire all'onda di violenze post-belliche di calmarsi. La sua azione fu indirizzata alla convivenza fra le varie etnie che componevano Fiume, etnie che cercavano di negarsi a vicenda. Ritenne gli Stati Uniti di Wilson l'unica fo rza in grado di garantire l'autonomia di Fiume, ma la posizione iso/azionista americana, che prevalse sulle sp inte umanitariedi Wilson, non permiseal progetto di andare a buon fine. In troduzione Questo scritto tratterà della vita di Ruggero Gottardi1 e quindi neces: sariamente della città di Fiume dove egli è nato e che è stata teatro della sua attività politica e di gran parte della sua vita. Ruggero Gottardi nacque in questa città da una famiglia fiumana il 9 settembre 1882, nel pieno della "Belle Epoque". Finirà la sua avventura umana il 23 gennaio 1954 a Diano Marina, dove è sepolto.

  • Conflicts, Borders and Nationalism: the Fiume Archive-Museum in Rome Ilaria Porciani (University of Bologna)
    National Museums and the Negotiation of Difficult Pasts Conference Proceedings from EuNaMus, Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Brussels 26-27 January 2012. Dominique Poulot, José María Lanzarote Guiral & Felicity Bodenstein (eds) EuNaMus Report No. 8. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=082 © The Author. Conflicts, Borders and Nationalism: The Fiume Archive-Museum in Rome Ilaria Porciani (University of Bologna) Abstract The Fiume Museum in Rome offers at first sight nothing spectacular and certainly does not qualify as ‘national’. However, it can help focusing from a new perspective on the construction of an (imagined) community and the role of museums to build cohesion and identity; the process of constructing material heritage in order to materialize the nation and crystallize a center for the community; the construction of an historical narrative on traumas, identities, national belonging and contested heritages. Moreover, following the story of this museum helps consider the politics of memory as often overlapping with a clear public use of history. Two examples are perfect cases in point. D’Annunzio’s occupation of Fiume 1920– technically speaking a putsch against the will of the Italian government and international diplomacy – was a powerful rhetoric tool in Mussolini’s hands. It created a myth while the battle was taking place: the so called ‘bloody Christmas, the heroic sacrifice of Fiume’s defenders - in short the myth of the ‘mutilated victory’. Even more than Istria, Fiume is a synecdoche for Italian nationalism. After World War II the birth of the Fiume museum and the activity of the Istrian and Dalmatian community was deeply connected with the violent memory war on the foibe – the natural pits in the carsick area where about 3000 victims of political violence were thrown (dead or still alive) from 1943 to 1945).

Munkámban mégsem a fond szerkezeti ismertetésére, hanem elsősorban az ott fellelhető dokumentumok alapján, a magyar állam fiumei hatalomgyakorlási metódusainak bemutatására törekedtem. Mindezzel az állam központosító stratégiáinak és a fiumei kormányzóság fejlődéstörténetének áttekintését, valamint a fond anyagainak behatóbb ismertetését célját tűztem ki magam elé. Ugyanakkor nem hagyható figyelmen kívül, hogy mivel a felhasznált források többsége a kormányzat felől közelít, ezért a tanulmány mindenekelőtt a hatalom nézőpontját rekonstruálja. A különböző társadalmi gyakorlatokkal és együttélési formákkal, valamint az identitással és a fiumano tudattal egy másik írásomban foglalkozom. Másfelől pedig azt, hogy a Fiumére vonatkozó szisztematikus alapkutatások kezdetlegessége, sőt hiánya miatt számos megállapításom, felvetésem, kérdésem további elmélyültebb vizsgálódást, kritikai továbbgondolást és konstruktív szakmai együttműködést igényel.

  • Testimonianza Su Fiume E Riccardo Zanella
    TESTIMONIANZA SU FIUME E RICCARDO ZANELLA Nella storiografia italiana, le incende di Fiume nel primo dopoguerra sono ricordate, quasi sempre, soltanto per la contesa diplomatica italo- jugoslava circa l'appartenenza di questa città, ex-corpus separatum del Regno d’Ungheria, e per la conseguente occupazione da parte di Gabriele D’Annunzio e dei suoi legionari. Raramente si tiene presente la vita poli' tica interna di Fiume. Accolto al suo arrivo dall’indubbio entusiasmo della maggioranza della popolazione fiumana, che era italiana per lingua, cultura e sentire, D’Annunzio deluse via via numerosi cittadini che o non ne approvavano i metodi di governo o non desideravano mettersi contro il governo di Roma o, infine, si domandavano se la stessa annessione di Fiume all’Italia non fosse meno favorevole alle sue prospettive economi' che, già gravemente danneggiate dagli eventi, della sua trasformazione, proposta da Wilson e da altri esponenti delle maggiori potenze, in Stato libero indipendente. Di quest’ultimo avviso fu Riccardo Zanella, il capo del partito fiumano che già nelle elezioni dell’ultimo decennio prebellico aveva regolarmente riportato la maggioranza, ossia del partito autono' mista. Rivendicare l’autonomia totale di Fiume nei confronti dell’Un' ghena, aveva significato difendere il carattere etnicamente italiano della città e il suo diritto all’autogoverno municipale. Le leggi ungheresi non consentendo l’esistenza di un partito irredentista, il partito dei fhìmani che intendevano restare italiani (e alcuni dei quali nutrivano già allora la speranza che la loro città sarebbe passata un giorno all’Italia) era quello autonomista che il professor Riccardo Zanella capeggiava. Per la sua stre- nua difesa dell’italianità di Fiume, Zanella, già deputato della città al Parlamento ungherese, si vide annullata da Francesco Giuseppe la sua elezione a sindaco del municipio fiumano.

  • Fiume Dall'autonomismo All'annessione. La Figura Di Antonio Grossich
    Rita Tolomeo FIUME DALL'AUTONOMISMO ALL'ANNESSIONE. LA FIGURA DI ANTONIO GROSSICH Fiume, ricco emporio commerciale e portofranco dal 1719, aveva ot- tenuto dall'imperatrice Maria Teresa con il diploma del 23 aprile 1779 lo status eccezionale di corpus separatum annesso al regno d'Ungheria (se- paratum sacrae Regni Coronae Hungáriáé adnexum corpus). Tale atto da un lato costituiva un riconoscimento di quella che fin dal medioevo era conosciuta come Terra Sancti Viti ad flumen quale entità politica separa- ta nel sistema di governo dei territori della Corona di Santo Stefano, dall'altro indicava il complesso dei particolari rapporti giuridici e costitu- zionali che intercorrevano tra la città e l'Ungheria. Disponendo che Fiu- me con il suo distretto dovesse essere «trattata in tutto e non confusa col distretto di Buccari, appartenente fin dai suoi primordi al Regno di Croa- zia», il diploma teresiano abrogava il rescritto aulico di appena tre anni prima che ne aveva decretato l'incorporazione nella Croazia e, con il tra- mite di questa, nelle terre della Corona d'Ungheria. Allo stesso tempo la città veniva sottratta alla concorrenza del porto di Trieste divenendo di fatto lo sbocco naturale dei prodotti dell'entroterra fiumano fino a com- prendere tutta la pianura ungherese e la Boemia. Negli anni successivi al territorio fiumano sarebbero stati aggregati i distretti di Buccari, Herlijn, Vinodol così da costituire il «Littorale Ungaricum» (1786)1. Il provvedimento sovrano del 1779, tuttavia, era stato oggetto fin dalla sua promulgazione di contrastanti interpretazioni che diedero origine a una lunga controversia tra Ungheria e Croazia, entrambe fermamente decise a sostenere i propri diritti sulla città.

Marinetti and Gabriele D’Annunzio By Anthony John Martire Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Barbara Spackman, Chair “La comunità mutilata: Embodiment, Corporality, and the Reconstruction of the Italian Body Politic in the works of F.T. Marinetti and Gabriele D’Annunzio”, is a study in how discourses of technological modernism, nationality, and woundedness operate on the longstanding metaphor of the body politic. It focuses on the writings of two of Italy’s most controversial, and influential, figures during and after the First World War. I show how mutilated and prosthetic bodies become powerful political metaphors for both Marinetti and D’Annunzio, which upend and transform the notion of the body politic in posthuman, postliberal and antidemocratic ways. This study is grounded in literary analysis, but draws from political philosophy, art history and rhetoric to examine Marinetti’s futurist manifestos, novels, and poetry (1909-1921), and D’Annunzio’s political speeches relating to the occupation of the city of Fiume (1919-1920). In Chapter 1, I analyze Marinetti’s manifestos produced between 1909 and 1918 in order to demonstrate how Marinetti inaugurates the post-humanist discourse of cybernetics.
