Download or read book Bombing States and Peoples in Western Europe 1940 1945 written by Claudia Baldoli and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to treat bombing during WWII as a European phenomenon and not just the 'Blitz' on Britain and Germany. With Western Europe now at the heart of a united continent, it is even more difficult to explain how only 70 years ago European states destroyed much of the urban landscape from the air. There were many blitzes between 1940 and 1945 with an estimated 700,000 people killed. The purpose of this book is to provide the basis for a comparison of the experience of western states under the impact of bombing. In particular, it considers the political, cultural and social responses to bombing rather than the military, strategic and social dimensions which have formed the core of the discussion hitherto. This book will correct the popular perception of the British Blitz as the key bombing experience by exposing the reality of life under the bombs for communities as far apart as Brest, Palermo, and Rostock. An international panel of historians consider the issues raised amidst the bombing of human rights and protection of civilians in this seminal event in C20th history.

Download or read book Duce The Contradictions of Power written by Peter J. Williamson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighty years after the fall of Benito Mussolini, controversy remains about what his dictatorship represented. This reflects the different sides to the Duce's leadership: while adept at nurturing and enforcing his personal political power, Mussolini's lack of insight into the requirements of governance prevented him from converting this power into influence to achieve his goals. His efforts to maintain the support of Italy's conservative elites--economic, social and political--also created tensions with his radical Fascist ambitions, diminishing the momentum behind his regime. Mussolini is frequently portrayed as a charismatic leader, but his rule was secured principally by coercion, violence and a 'spoils system'. Nonetheless, his personality cult had significant popular appeal, even if based upon a political myth. This enabled him to consolidate his position and to dominate his Fascist colleagues--but at a price of over-centralized, dysfunctional decision-making. In this book, the first comprehensive English-language study of Mussolini in nearly two decades, Peter J. Williamson brings to life the contradictions within the Duce's leadership. Using a wide range of sources, Williamson reveals how these conflicts impeded the dictator's ambitions, leaving him increasingly frustrated, all while most Italians endured the severe privations of both failure and Fascism.

Download or read book Italian graphic design written by Chiara Barbieri and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian graphic design offers a new perspective on the subject by exploring the emergence and articulation of graphic design practice, from the interwar period through to the appearance of an international graphic design discourse in the 1960s. The book asks how graphic designers learned their trade and investigates the ways in which they organised and made their practice visible while negotiating their collective identity with neighbouring practices such as typography, advertising and industrial design. Attention is drawn to everyday design practice, educational issues, mediating channels, networks, design exchange, organisational strategies and discourses on modernism. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources and placing an emphasis on visual analysis, this book provides a model for a contextualised graphic design history as an integral part of the history of design and visual culture.

Download or read book Corporeit e gioco written by Romano Mezzetti and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2012 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: […] desidero, in particolare, esprimere un certo interesse per l’originale definizione di “corporeità” che il dott. Mezzetti si è impegnato a produrre: effettivamente, a tutt’oggi, in molti contesti accademici, scientifici e/o divulgativi non si presta particolare attenzione alla specificità lessicale e concettuale relativa all’uso di questo termine e nel linguaggio corrente non emerge quella attenzione a una giusta diversità lessicale ben evidenziata nel corpo centrale di questo testo.

Download or read book Lettera Alla Madre written by Edith Bruck and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through literary works and public appearances, Edith Bruck, born 1932 in Hungary, has devoted her life to bearing witness to what she experienced in the Nazi concentration camps. In 1954 she settled in Rome and is today the most prolific writer of Holocaust narrative in Italian. The book is composed in two parts. "Lettera alla madre"—an imaginary dialogue between Bruck and her mother, who died in Auschwitz—probes the question of self-identity, the pain of loss and displacement, the power of language to help recover the past, and the ultimate impossibility of that recovery. "Tracce," a story of a journey without return, completes the diptych. Bruck's experimental fusion of memoir and fiction portrays the Holocaust from a female perspective and highlights the role of gender in the creation of memory.

Download or read book I pensieri di Maia written by Mia Dallamanna and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-01-28 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struttura originale che unisce generi diversi e li trasforma in una sola ed unica entità. Spaziando dalla poesia alla narrativa (anche con una favola), dal giornalismo alla filosofia (e alla religione), la scrittrice vuole far divertire, immaginare, imparare e, soprattutto, riflettere. Riflettere sul mondo, le persone, l'amore, la vita... I generi letterari sono semplicemente diversi punti di vista attraverso i quali noi riusciamo a conoscerci e a conoscere sempre di più la Realtà. Il filo conduttore di questa originale opera è appunto il bisogno di conoscenza (di equilibrio, di crescere felici) di ciascuno di noi. Filo conduttore strettamente legato al protagonista del libro: l'Amore Vero per la Realtà.
