  • Human Remains in Society: Curation And
    66 3 Chained corpses: warfare, politics and religion after the Habsburg Empire in the Julian March, 1930s– 1970s Gaetano Dato In Trieste and the border region north of the Adriatic Sea, corpses played a very significant role in the construction of the public dis- course about acts of violence in the era of the world wars. Human remains have been a concern for public memory, and for the collective entities connected to the local places of remembrance as well.1 Italians, Slovenians, Croatians, Habsburg officials, Communists, Nazis, Fascists and the Jewish communities all left their mark in the history of this region; in addition, such categories often overlapped, making any distinction even more complicated. The corpsesbe longing to these groups were therefore at the centre of the civil and political religions that emerged in this territory during the twentieth century. Bodies in an advanced state of decomposition were used in war propaganda, and their pictures continued to be exploited from the 1960s onwards. After 1945, corpses became a subject of contention among the groups fighting for control of the territory and later on were involved in the trials of Nazi war criminals. The Julian March: wars and borders The northern Adriatic region is named in numerous ways by its different residents. In Italian, it is known as Venezia Giulia (Julian Venice), to underline its ancient Roman heritage. In English, how- ever, this name is usually translated as Julian March, which references Jean-Marc Dreyfus and Élisabeth Anstett - 9781526129338 Downloaded from manchesteropenhive.com at 08/03/2019 11:15:01AM via free access 67 Chained corpses 67 its role as a border.

  • Italian: Repubblica Italiana),[7][8][9][10] Is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic Insouthern Europe
    Italy ( i/ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana),[7][8][9][10] is a unitary parliamentary republic inSouthern Europe. Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and has a largely temperate climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale (the Boot).[11][12] With 61 million inhabitants, it is the 5th most populous country in Europe. Italy is a very highly developed country[13]and has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and the eighth-largest in the world.[14] Since ancient times, Etruscan, Magna Graecia and other cultures have flourished in the territory of present-day Italy, being eventually absorbed byRome, that has for centuries remained the leading political and religious centre of Western civilisation, capital of the Roman Empire and Christianity. During the Dark Ages, the Italian Peninsula faced calamitous invasions by barbarian tribes, but beginning around the 11th century, numerous Italian city-states rose to great prosperity through shipping, commerce and banking (indeed, modern capitalism has its roots in Medieval Italy).[15] Especially duringThe Renaissance, Italian culture thrived, producing scholars, artists, and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli. Italian explorers such as Polo, Columbus, Vespucci, and Verrazzano discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery. Nevertheless, Italy would remain fragmented into many warring states for the rest of the Middle Ages, subsequently falling prey to larger European powers such as France, Spain, and later Austria.

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.

  • In the Shadow of the Balkans, on the Shores of the Mediterranean
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION In the Shadow of the Balkans, on the Shores of the Mediterranean IN the border zone between Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia known as the Julian March reside members of families who were divided and scattered at the conclusion of the Second World War when Italy and Yugoslavia parti- tioned the region. These separated kin live on the fringes of the Gulf of Venice, an inner body of water making up part of the Adriatic Sea, which today divides populations as much as it once united them. Triestine writer Claudio Magris’s description of the forests in this region hold equally true for its seas: “The woods are at once the glorification and the nullification of borders: a plurality of dif- fering, opposing worlds, though still within the great unity that embraces and dissolves them” (1999, 107). Though the fluidity of the sea would appear to defy any attempt at sover- eignty, political borders cut through them. Indeed, the Adriatic’s waters have witnessed the struggles of diverse powers—in more distant epochs, Venice, Austria, and the Ottomans and in the last century, Italy and Yugoslavia—to se- cure and police the adjacent territories. The most recent example involves the dispute between Slovenia and Croatia over precisely where, in the tiny Gulf of Piran, to draw the maritime frontier between those two states, which declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.

The data presented in this thesis have been collected during one year of fieldwork (August 2008 - August 2009) that took place in the Province of Gorizia, the smallest of the region Friuli Venezia Giulia in the North-East of Italy. To be more specific, I conducted my fieldwork in the two areas of this Province that straddle the international border between Italy and Slovenia: the main town of Gorizia and the wine area of Collio that stretches North West of the town. I chose these areas because the town has been portrayed by some locals as a divided town as the Italian-Slovenian border straddles its peripheries and the peripheries of the Slovenian town of Nova Gorica, and the wine growers that live and/or work in the Collio area remove and replace the boundary according to their business.

  • Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugo- Slav-Italian Border (1947-1955)
    «Qualestoria» n.2, dicembre 2019 Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugo- slav-Italian Border (1947-1955) di Jure Ramšak Abstract - Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugoslav-Italian Border (1947-1955) Once the diplomatic battle for Gorizia/Gorica was lost in the aftermath of World War II, the new communist authorities in Belgrade hastily decided in 1946 to build the «Er- satz» administrative, economic and cultural center of the Slovenian-populated region of northern Littoral (severna Primorska). Adopting principles of Western pre-war modern- ist urbanism (Le Corbusier’s The Athens Charter), Nova Gorica, as the nascent town was called, intended to become an ideal environment for the «new working man», a showpiece of socialism vis-à-vis «crumbling» capitalist landscape on the other side of the newly settled border, conveying also the message of anti-fascism and national lib- eration struggle. However, after Tito’s split with Moscow when new conflicts erupted along Yugoslavian eastern borders, the erection of the «lighthouse» of socialism on the western border became a task of secondary importance for the authorities in Ljubljana and even less in Belgrade. Using materials from archives in Nova Gorica, Ljubljana, and Belgrade, this article sheds light on the relationship between the authorities at local and republican level concerning this prominent project. It shows how the authoritative deci- sion about radical modernization was imposed by the top communist decision-makers in close collaboration with the architects, who considered themselves the teachers of the new way of life.
