Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri's Detective
MAFIA MOTIFS IN ANDREA CAMILLERI’S DETECTIVE MONTALBANO NOVELS: FROM THE CULTURE AND BREAKDOWN OF OMERTÀ TO MAFIA AS A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE FAILURE OF STATE Adriana Nicole Cerami A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (Italian). Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Dino S. Cervigni Amy Chambless Roberto Dainotto Federico Luisetti Ennio I. Rao © 2015 Adriana Nicole Cerami ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Adriana Nicole Cerami: Mafia Motifs in Andrea Camilleri’s Detective Montalbano Novels: From the Culture and Breakdown of Omertà to Mafia as a Scapegoat for the Failure of State (Under the direction of Ennio I. Rao) Twenty out of twenty-six of Andrea Camilleri’s detective Montalbano novels feature three motifs related to the mafia. First, although the mafia is not necessarily the main subject of the narratives, mafioso behavior and communication are present in all novels through both mafia and non-mafia-affiliated characters and dialogue. Second, within the narratives there is a distinction between the old and the new generations of the mafia, and a preference for the old mafia ways. Last, the mafia is illustrated as the usual suspect in everyday crime, consequentially diverting attention and accountability away from government authorities. Few critics have focused on Camilleri’s representations of the mafia and their literary significance in mafia and detective fiction. The purpose of the present study is to cast light on these three motifs through a close reading and analysis of the detective Montalbano novels, lending a new twist to the genre of detective fiction. -

For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments.

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. -
Fascist Italy's Illiberal Cultural Networks Culture, Corporatism And
Genealogie e geografie dell’anti-democrazia nella crisi europea degli anni Trenta Fascismi, corporativismi, laburismi a cura di Laura Cerasi Fascist Italy’s Illiberal Cultural Networks Culture, Corporatism and International Relations Benjamin G. Martin Uppsala University, Sweden Abstract Italian fascists presented corporatism, a system of sector-wide unions bring- ing together workers and employers under firm state control, as a new way to resolve tensions between labour and capital, and to reincorporate the working classes in na- tional life. ‘Cultural corporatism’ – the fascist labour model applied to the realm of the arts – was likewise presented as a historic resolution of the problem of the artist’s role in modern society. Focusing on two art conferences in Venice in 1932 and 1934, this article explores how Italian leaders promoted cultural corporatism internationally, creating illiberal international networks designed to help promote fascist ideology and Italian soft power. Keywords Fascism. Corporatism. State control. Labour. Capital.

Problems like economic breakdown, mass unemployment, and labour unrest were not only practical, of course: they seemed linked to a broader breakdown of so- Studi di storia 8 e-ISSN 2610-9107 | ISSN 2610-9883 ISBN [ebook] 978-88-6969-317-5 | ISBN [print] 978-88-6969-318-2 Open access 137 Published 2019-05-31 © 2019 | cb Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License DOI 10.30687/978-88-6969-317-5/007 Martin Fascist Italy’s Illiberal Cultural Networks. -

It has been deemed “ferocious,” “a death-defying linguistic tightrope act,” and a combination of “dark and spiky emotions” in reviews appearing in popular newspapers. Taking the considerable critical investment in the affective dimension of Ferrante’s work as a point of departure, my dissertation examines the representation of emotions in My Brilliant Friend and in two Italian novels written between the 1960s and the 1970s – La Storia (1974, History: A Novel) by Elsa Morante (1912-1985) and L’arte della gioia (The Art of Joy, 1998/2008) by Goliarda Sapienza (1924-1996). -

KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives. -
Biografia Di Alberto Moravia
NonSoloBiografie - Tutte le biografie nel web... NonSoloBiografie: Alberto Moravia Alberto Moravia (per l'anagrafe Alberto Pincherle: il cognome Moravia è quello della nonna paterna) nasce il 28 novembre 1907 a Roma, in via Sgambati, da un'agiata famiglia borghese. Il padre, Carlo Pincherle Moravia, architetto e pittore, è di origine veneziana, mentre la madre, Gina de Marsanich, è di Ancona. Terzo di quattro figli (Adriana, Elena e Gastone, nato nel 1914), Alberto ha una «prima infanzia normale benché solitaria». All'età di nove anni si verifica «il fatto più importante della sua vita», quello che l'autore stesso riteneva avesse inciso «sulla sua sensibilità in maniera determinante»: la malattia da cui non guarirà del tutto che verso i diciassette anni, lasciandolo leggermente claudicante. All'età di nove anni, infatti, Alberto si ammala di tubercolosi ossea, malattia dagli atroci dolori che lo costringe a letto per cinque anni: i primi tre a casa, e gli ultimi due nel sanatorio Codivilla di Cortina d'Ampezzo. Durante questo periodo i suoi studi (interrotti alla licenza ginnasiale, suo unico titolo di studio) sono irregolari. Tuttavia, legge innumerevoli libri, soprattutto i classici e i massimi narratori dell'Ottocento e del primo Novecento (Dostoevskij, Joyce, Goldoni, Shakespeare, Molière, Mallarmé, Leopardi e molti altri); scrive versi in francese e in italiano, e studia tedesco. Dopo aver lasciato il sanatorio nell'autunno del 1925, durante la convalescenza a Bressanone, in provincia di Bolzano, dà inizio alla stesura de Gli indifferenti, che verrà pubblicato con gran successo nel 1929. La sua salute rimane fragile ed è costretto a vivere in alberghi di montagna passando da un luogo all'altro. -

THE BEAST AND THE REVIVAL OF ROME: MUSSOLINI AND ROME IN THE PREMILLENNIAL IMAGINATION JON STAMM 130 Pages Premillennial dispensationalism became immensely influential among American Protestants who saw themselves as defenders of orthodoxy. As theological conflict heated up in the early 20th century, dispensationalism’s unique eschatology became one of the characteristic features of the various strands of “fundamentalists” who fought against modernism and the perceived compromises of mainline Protestantism. Their embrace of the dispensationalist view of history and Biblical prophecy had a significant effect on how they interpreted world events and how they lived out their faith. These fundamentalists established patterns of interpretation that in the second half of the 20th century would fuel the emergence of a politically influential form of Christian Zionism. -
Vedimento (ASP, PNF Di Mon- Tecatini Val Di Cecina, B
“La Spalletta”, 12 settembre 2015 DALLA MARCIA SU ROMA ALLA MVSN «Vittoria Fascista»: era questo il titolo di un articolo di fondo pubblicato il 5 novembre 1922 su “Il Corazziere” (a. XLI, n. 45): foglio che mai – occorre dirlo – aveva fatto mancare il suo sostegno al movimento fondato da Mussolini il 23 marzo 1919, prima, e poi al partito nato il 7 novembre del 1921: Il nostro giornale che ha seguito, con simpatia, con fiducia, con ammirazione fervida e sincera, il fascismo, fino dal suo sor- gere, ne celebra oggi la piena e assoluta vittoria con la più grande letizia e con la ferma sicurezza che esso saprà ottimamente ricostruire come efficacemente ha saputo compiere l’opera di santa demolizione. Alle Camice nere, al genio di Benito Mussolini – duce romanamente grande – l’Italia deve la sua salvezza e dovrà la sua rina- scita e il definitivo trionfo. I primi atti del nuovo Governo infondono un ritmo nuovo alla vita nazionale: il ritmo dei forti. Finalmente – dopo l’avvicendarsi di governi abulici, inerti, tentennanti, deboli – l’Italia – per merito di Vittorio Emanuele III – ha oggi alla sua testa un Uomo dal pugno di ferro e dalla mente superiore, un Uomo che è espressione pura e genui- na della nostra razza imperiale! Salutiamo in Benito Mussolini il continuatore dell’Italia di Vittorio Veneto; diamo a Benito Mussolini adesione piena, completa, entusiastica, incondizionata; stringiamoci concordi intorno al Fascismo trionfante: questo è il dovere di quanti hanno amore e rispetto per la Patria, affetto e devozione per il Sovrano: chi non sente questo dovere è un traditore. -
Alceste De Ambris Dall'interventismo All'esilio
Alceste De Ambris dall’interventismo all’esilio (1914-1934) Enrico Serventi Longhi La figura di Alceste De Ambris è stata studiata ed è conosciuta da diversi ricercatori, studiosi o appassionati di storia. La sua vicenda biografica lo vede protagonista della politica rivoluzionaria e non solo dei primi trentenni del novecento; nato a Licciana di Pontremoli (Massa) il 15 settembre 1874, il suo nome è legato a due episodi celebri: lo sciopero generale dei contadini a Parma nel maggio 1908 e la collaborazione con Gabriele D’Annunzio a Fiume – Rijeka nel 1920. Esperienze profondamente diverse per fini, caratteri ideologici e sviluppi organizzativi, testimoni di una indiscutibile trasformazione, comune del resto alla generazione degli interventisti di sinistra. La guerra fu un momento di rottura fra la tradizione riformistica, parlamentare, persino evangelica, del socialismo italiano ufficiale e parte della nuova generazione di giovani rivoluzionari. In tale ottica ho ritenuto opportuno segnare come inizio simbolico dell’indagine analitica il discorso interventista di De Ambris pronunciato nell’agosto 1914; la guerra rappresenta senza dubbio il determinante momento di rottura del sindacalista di Licciana con il movimento operaio e libertario, sebbene insieme preceduto dall’avvicinamento alle posizioni antigermaniche del sindacalismo rivoluzionario francese e dalla fondamentale esperienza politica ed esistenziale nel Ticino1. La tesi di dottorato nasce con lo specifico intento di mettere in luce la travagliata esperienza del sindacalista aprano e, allo stesso tempo non sottovalutando lo studio prosopografico dei gruppi con cui entra in contatto e collabora. Il taglio biografico può permettere di entrare in profondità nel dibattito, nelle fratture, nelle riorganizzazioni, nelle affermazioni e nelle sconfitte delle diverse scuole della sinistra rivoluzionaria italiana sorte dalla campagna antimilitarista e dall’interventismo rivoluzionario e democratico.
