  • The Impeded Archipelago of Corsica and Sardinia
    Island Studies Journal, 16(1), 2021, 325-342 The impeded archipelago of Corsica and Sardinia Marcel A. Farinelli Independent researcher [email protected] Abstract: Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France) are two islands divided by a strait that is 13 km wide. Their inhabitants have had commercial and cultural links at least since the Bronze Age, facing similar historical processes such as colonization from mainland powers during Middle Ages and a problematic assimilation within the nation-states to which the islands are nowadays associated. Nevertheless, they are generally perceived and analyzed as separate and distant islands. This is a consequence of the geopolitical context of the last three centuries, during which Corsica and Sardinia have become part of two separate states marked by a troubled relationship. This study has two main purposes: explaining the case of the two islands through a historical analysis of the island-to-island relationship between the 17th and 21st Centuries and proposing the concept of ‘impeded archipelago’ to describe analogous situations. Keywords: archipelago, Corsica, islands, island-to-island relationship, nationalism, Sardinia https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.142 • Received August 2020, accepted December 2020 © Island Studies Journal, 2021 Introduction Few scholars have adopted an archipelagic perspective on Corsica (France) and Sardinia (Italy), albeit the strait that divides them (The Strait of Bonifacio) in its narrow point is 13 km wide. Sardinians and Corsicans have had economic and cultural ties at least since the Bronze Age, they experienced colonization from continental powers during Middle Ages and Modern Era, and they shared a problematic integration process in the mainland country to which they are linked with since the 18th and 19th Centuries.

  • A Historical Perspective on Sub-State Nationalism in Corsica and Sardinia
    Small States & Territories, Vol. 3, No. 1, 2020, pp. 137-152 Managing the island territory: A historical perspective on sub-state nationalism in Corsica and Sardinia Marcel A. Farinelli Università di Corsica Pasquale Paoli, Corte, Corsica, France CNRS UMR 6240 LISA [email protected] Abstract: Corsica (France) and Sardinia (Italy) are two islands of the western Mediterranean basin separated by a narrow strait. They share a problematic relationship with the mainland states to which they are associated, and from which they obtained their status of subnational island jurisdiction (SNIJ). The metropole/island relationship of these two islands is characterized by centrifugal tensions and the presence of sub-state nationalisms. These movements are different in terms of characteristics, strategies and electoral results, because of how France and Italy have managed the integration of the two islands, how the two island nationalisms have evolved, and how both metropolitan states have dealt with them. This article proposes a comparative history of Sardinian and Corsican nationalism and the relationship of Italy and France with these island territories. The intention is to analyse the two nationalisms, based almost exclusively on political science, with an historical perspective, highlighting the impact caused by the central states’ attitudes. In this way, the article points out how the differences between the political context of the two islands is defined by the different approach taken by France and Italy in managing their island territories. Keywords: Corsica, France, insularity, Italy, nationalism, Sardinia, subnational island jurisdiction © 2020 – Islands and Small States Institute, University of Malta, Malta.

  • Genome-Wide Analysis of Corsican Population Reveals a Close Affinity
    www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Publisher Correction OPEN Genome-wide analysis of Corsican population reveals a close afnity with Northern and Central Italy Received: 24 April 2019 Erika Tamm1, Julie Di Cristofaro 2,3, Stéphane Mazières2, Erwan Pennarun1, Accepted: 31 August 2019 Alena Kushniarevich1,4, Alessandro Raveane 5, Ornella Semino5, Jacques Chiaroni2,3, Published online: 19 September 2019 Luisa Pereira6,7, Mait Metspalu 1 & Francesco Montinaro 1,8 Despite being the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean basin, the genetic variation of Corsica has not been explored as exhaustively as Sardinia, which is situated only 11 km South. However, it is likely that the populations of the two islands shared, at least in part, similar demographic histories. Moreover, the relative small size of the Corsica may have caused genetic isolation, which, in turn, might be relevant under medical and translational perspectives. Here we analysed genome wide data of 16 Corsicans, and integrated with newly (33 individuals) and previously generated samples from West Eurasia and North Africa. Allele frequency, haplotype-based, and ancient genome analyses suggest that although Sardinia and Corsica may have witnessed similar isolation and migration events, the latter is genetically closer to populations from continental Europe, such as Northern and Central Italians. Corsica, located south of the shore of Côte d’Azur (France), and west of Tuscany (Italy), is separated from Sardinia to its south by the Strait of Bonifacio. It is the fourth largest Mediterranean island (8,680 km2) and unlike most of them, its relief is very mountainous, with a mountain range bisecting the island. Nowadays, approximately ~339,000 people inhabit the island1.

Researches on genetic structure of Sardinian population, performed with of both classical and DNA markers, revealed an extremely complex picture of the relationships between Sardinian and other Italian and Mediterranean populations, that can be explained by Sardinian’s historical and demographic past. A high degree of internal heterogeneity was also found and it can be attributed first to strict isolation and consequent high levels of endogamy and consanguinity, secondly, to selective factor linked to endemic malaria that influenced the distribution of some gene frequencies.

  • Some Reflections on Corsican Secret Societies in the Early Nineteenth Century*
    P. SAVIGEAR SOME REFLECTIONS ON CORSICAN SECRET SOCIETIES IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY* Stendhal, in La Chartreuse de Parme, described a minister of police who "se garde bien de nier la conspiration, au contraire, seul avec le prince, et arme jusqu'aux dents, il visite tous les coins des appartements, regarde sous les lits et, en un mot, se livre a une foule d'actions ridicules dignes d'une vieille femme." Thus it is when conspiracy is in the air, and such fears were not without parallel in the administrations of the European states in years between 1815 and 1848. The European cabinets in this "age of Metternich" were beset by a fear of revolution, international conspiracy, carbonari and illuminati, and a widespread suspicion of subversion. The picture of clandestine organisation whether drawn in Vienna, Paris, Berlin, Rome or Milan, was not vastly different nor entirely fictitious. The period was punctuated with armed revolts, coups, arrests of agitators, and the appearance of secret societies, often republican, dedicated to the overthrow of the existing order. It is not surprising that contem- poraries and indeed some historians of the period exaggerated the links between these phenomena, even to the extent of occasionally suggesting that one principal organisation was at work with a series of national variants creating an international network. Revolt in Piedmont, Naples and Spain was readily conceived to have a connec- tion with attempted coups elsewhere in Europe. Buonarroti, Mazzini, La Cecilia, Victor Cousin, General Lafayette and many others were observed by the police of Europe as they moved about the continent engaged on legitimate business and perhaps on work of a more sub- versive nature.

I did so because I wanted to investigate whether the print media could be a possible conveyor of traits of distinctive cultural group identity and whether this cultural identity may be related to demand for more autonomy or for the maintenance of the status quo. I have thus identified four narratives in which demand for devolution at first seemed to contribute to a climate in which independence or more autonomy moved into the political agenda but sooner, especially at the end of 2005, the climate for autonomy seemed to be directly related to political struggles between the parties. Those political actors who had been pushing forward devolution all over 2005 split into two main
