UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Out of Italy: Italian Women Exiled under Fascism Reimagine Home and the Italian Identity Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2nk8m9vk Author Robinson, Nicole Hardy Publication Date 2016 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Out of Italy: Italian Women Exiled under Fascism Reimagine Home and the Italian Identity A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the Degree of Philosophy in Italian by Nicole Hardy Robinson 2016 © Copyright by Nicole Hardy Robinson 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Out of Italy: Italian Women Exiled under Fascism Reimagine Home and the Italian Identity by Nicole Hardy Robinson Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair Vera Modigliani (1888-1974), Maria Brandon Albini (1904-1995), and Joyce Lussu (1912-1998) were antifascist activists who emigrated from Italy—fuoriuscite—and wrote novels, memoirs, and poetry about their varied experiences both during their period of exile, and well after it in the course of their literary careers. In my dissertation, I conduct a comparative study of these women’s narratives. I offer a nuanced study of the women’s literary works in order to fill a pronounced gap in current exile literature scholarship of the period, which has focused almost exclusively on male authors. My critical framework for this research is interdisciplinary, structured predominantly around the narrative theory of life writing. In addition, I also pull from exile, feminist, and sociological theory. Ultimately, I demonstrate that there are experiences and literary themes common to the three ii women, despite the fact that they were not closely linked in their exile. I examine the following leitmotifs, among others: the tension between an Italian cultural identity and the marginalized identity of woman, Jewish, or other; the reciprocal influence of memory and narration; the tension between narrating memories and the passage of time; and gendered identity construction through narration. I thus delineate the beginnings of a typology of women’s exile literature that male-oriented scholarship has previously been unable to detect and map. iii The dissertation of Nicole Hardy Robinson is approved.

Professor Re introduced me to Joyce Lussu my first quarter at UCLA, sparking my interest and putting me on the path towards this finished dissertation. Throughout the years she has remained an invaluable source of knowledge and guidance as the project has evolved, and I am grateful for this opportunity. Prof. Fogu’s insights have also proven invaluable throughout this journey, and I feel lucky to have been able to benefit from his supportive teachings. The Department of Italian at UCLA has provided me with an amazing doctoral experience, and I am thankful to Prof. Harrison for his departmental and educational support. Thanks to the unique opportunities I have received at UCLA, I am poised to begin the next chapter of my life fully prepared to tackle any challenge. Special thanks are owed to my parents Bill and Jean Robinson. My mother’s real-life example of how to thrive professionally and personally gave me the confidence to pursue the Ph.D. It is also largely thanks to her gracious but constructive encouragement and readings of my drafts that this project continued to move forward. To my friends and colleagues at UCLA and beyond, thank you for sharing this experience. We are a small and unique group to tackle this undertaking, and I could not have asked for a better cohort. Lastly, I owe a special thanks to my husband Isaac. For your support and understanding, even when times got rough, I thank you. We never could have imagined this life all those years ago, but I know I am lucky to share it with you. vi Curriculum Vitae Education: University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, Ph.D. candidate, 2016 (expected) Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT and Florence, Italy, 2008, M.A. in Italian Linguistics, 2008 New York University, New York, NY, B.A. in Italian Studies, 2007 – cum laude Professional & Academic Experience McKINSEY & CO., San Francisco, CA...………………………………………….….……starting Sept. 2016 Associate Consultant UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA………………………………………………………….……2011 to present UCLA Student Fee Advisory Committee, Los Angeles, CA Graduate Student Representative (6/14–6/16): Appointed to represent graduate students interests in the $20M Student Services Fees budget while assessing proposals for sustainability and evaluating funded units. • Identified $400K+ in underutilized funds and proposed redistribution to maximize student impact, resulting in $120K savings and innovative proposals for graduate support programming.

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J.

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

    The Origins of the European Integration: Staunch Italians, Cautious British Actors and the Intelligence Dimension (1942-1946) Di Claudia Nasini

    Eurostudium3w gennaio-marzo 2014 The Origins of the European Integration: Staunch Italians, Cautious British Actors and the Intelligence Dimension (1942-1946) di Claudia Nasini The idea of unity in Europe is a concept stretching back to the Middle Ages to the exponents of the Respublica Christiana. Meanwhile the Enlightenment philosophers and political thinkers recurrently advocated it as a way of embracing all the countries of the Continent in some kind of pacific order1. Yet, until the second half of the twentieth century the nationalist ethos of Europeans prevented any limitation of national sovereignty. The First World War, the millions of casualties and economic ruin in Europe made the surrendering of sovereignty a conceivable way of overcoming the causes of recurring conflicts by bringing justice and prosperity to the Old World. During the inter-war years, it became evident that the European countries were too small to solve by their own efforts the problem of a modern economy2. As a result of the misery caused by world economic crisis and the European countries’ retreating in economic isolationism, various forms of Fascism emerged in almost half of the countries of Europe3. The League of Nations failed to prevent international unrest because it had neither the political power nor the material strength to enable itself to carry 1 Cfr. Andrea Bosco, Federal Idea, vol.

    The Corporatism of Fascist Italy Between Words and Reality

    CORPORATIVISMO HISTÓRICO NO BRASIL E NA EUROPA http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1980-864X.2016.2.22336 The corporatism of Fascist Italy between words and reality O corporativismo da Itália fascista entre palavras e realidade El corporativismo de la Italia fascista entre las palabras y la realidad Alessio Gagliardi* Translated by Sergio Knipe Abstract: It is common knowledge that State intervention in Italy in the Twenties and the Thirties developed outside of corporative institutions. The history of Fascist corporatism, however, is not only an unsuccessful story. Despite the failure of the “corporatist revolution” and “Fascist third way”, Fascist corporatism since the mid- Twenties helped the progressive development of a new political system to regulate relationship between State and private interests. The paper examines not only the institutional framework (the systems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures, and informal norms) but also their acts and real activities. It dwells upon internal debates, political and institutional importance acquired by corporative institutions in Fascist regime and behaviours of entrepreneurial organizations and labour unions. In this way, the paper aims to point out the “real” consequences of Fascist corporatism, different from the ideological ones. Keywords: corporatism; Fascism; Italy Resumo: É de conhecimento geral que intervenções estatais na Itália nas décadas de 1920 e 1930 se desenvolveram fora de instituições corporativas. A história do corporativismo fascista, no entanto, não é totalmente sem sucessos. Apesar da falha da “revolução corporativista” e da “terceira via fascista”, o corporativismo fascista, desde meados dos anos 1920, ajudou no desenvolvimento progressivo de um novo sistema político para regular a relação entre o Estado e interesses privados.

  • Emilio Lussu La Brigata Sassari

    Emilio Lussu La Brigata Sassari

    EMILIO LUSSU Armungia (Cagliari) 4 dicembre 1890 - Roma 5 marzo 1975. Allo scoppio della Grande Guerra si schierò con gli interventisti democratici. Ufficiale di complemento della Brigata Sassari, nel 1916 si trovava sulle montagne intorno ad Asiago, dove si creò un fronte per resistere alla discesa degli austriaci. Fu una lotta sanguinosa, a seguito della quale Lussu scrisse Un anno sull’Altipiano, 1938 (dal quale è tratto il film di Francesco Rosi Uomini contro, 1970), un prezioso documento sulla vita dei soldati in trincea che descrive l’irrazionalità e il non-senso della guerra e dell’esasperata disciplina militare. La vicenda bellica lo portò ad avvicinarsi alle tesi di Filippo Turati, che condannava la guerra come strumento per raggiungere la pace. Finita la guerra e tornato in Sardegna, nel 1919 fu tra i fondatori Partito Sardo d’Azione a Cagliari. Fu eletto deputato nel 1921 e nel 1924. Tra i più fermi accusatori di Mussolini, subì nel 1926 un assalto di squadristi nella sua casa di Cagliari. Si difese a colpi di pistola e un fascista fu ucciso. Lussu venne arrestato e incarcerato per 13 mesi. Assolto per legittima difesa, fu confinato per 5 anni a Lipari. Riuscì a evadere nel 1929, rifugiandosi a Parigi dove, con altri rifugiati politici italiani, diede vita a Giustizia e Libertà. Ritornò in Italia e nel 1945 entrò a far parte del governo Parri. Nel 1946 fu eletto all’Assemblea Costituente e in seguito fece parte del primo governo De Gasperi. Con lo scioglimento del Partito d’Azione aderì, ne1947, al Partito Socialista e nel 1964 fu tra i fondatori del Partito Socialista di Unità Proletaria.

    Il Fuoruscitismo Italiano Dal 1922 Al 1943 (*)

    IL FUORUSCITISMO ITALIANO DAL 1922 AL 1943 (*) Possiamo organicamente dividere l’emigrazione politica, uno de­ gli aspetti più rilevanti della storia italiana durante i primi anni del regime fascista, in tre grandi periodi (1). Durante il primo, che va dal 1922 al 1924, tale esodo può apparire motivato da considerazioni economiche, proprio come era avvenuto per molti decenni; tuttavia, anche in questo periodo iniziale, in cui il fascismo non aveva ancora assunto il suo carattere dittatoriale, vi erano motivi politici che face­ vano capolino nella emigrazione. A migliaia di italiani che, senza un particolare interesse politico, avevano cercato lavoro sui mercati di Francia, Svizzera e Belgio, presto si aggiunsero numerosi altri la­ voratori, di idee socialiste od anarchiche, che avevano preso parte (1) Le seguenti statistiche possono dare un’idea delle variazioni nell’emigra­ zione. E’ impossibile, naturalmente, stabilire quanti emigrati fossero spinti prin­ cipalmente da motivi politici e quanti da considerazioni economiche.
