Book Synopsis Gli Stati Uniti e l'Italia alla fine del XIX secolo by : AA. VV.
Download or read book Gli Stati Uniti e l'Italia alla fine del XIX secolo written by AA. VV. and published by Gangemi Editore spa. This book was released on 2016-01-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partire dal 1999 un gruppo di studiosi, raccolti intorno al Centro di Studi Americani di Roma, lavora a una ricerca collettiva sull'immagine dell'Italia negli Stati Uniti ai tempi del Risorgimento con particolare riferimento ai rapporti politico diplomatici e culturali tra i due paesi. Il lavoro del curatore del presente volume, insieme a Giuseppe Monsagrati e Matteo Sanfilippo, ha portato alla pubblicazione di una serie di cui questo è il quarto libro, mentre il quinto è già in cantiere. Rimanendo fedeli a un'impostazione che sembra dare i suoi frutti dal punto di vista scientifico e a un editore che da subito ha accolto con entusiasmo il progetto, gli autori qui riuniti propongono ancora una volta una ricerca originale su un periodo dei rapporti tra Italia e Stati Uniti che fino ad oggi la storiografia ha relegato a una trattazione soltanto episodica, se si fa eccezione per il fenomeno dell'emigrazione. In particolare, una parte della riflessione di cui questi sono i risultati, ha preso alcuni spunti da un seminario organizzato nel 2007 al Centro Studi Americani con Ferdinando Cordova su L'Italia vista dagli Stati Uniti (1880- 1914). Quell'incontro ha costituito una base importante per contestualizzare il lavoro di ciascuno dei partecipanti a quel seminario e di alcuni degli autori presenti in questo libro. Come nel caso dei precedenti volumi la metodologia usata differisce a seconda delle specializzazioni degli studiosi, in questo caso tutti storici. Partendo dagli episodi successivi alla conquista di Roma (il terzo volume porta il titolo: Le relazioni tra Stati Uniti e Italia nel periodo di Roma capitale), gli autori esaminano i rapporti tra i due paesi e la trasformazione dell'immagine dell'Italia negli USA anche in conseguenza di quello che, proprio sul finire del secolo, diventa un aspetto centrale nei rapporti tra i due paesi: la grande emigrazione italiana verso le Americhe. Il volume è a cura di Daniele Fiorentino.

Book Synopsis Holy See’s Archives as sources for American history by : Kathleen Cummings Sprows
Download or read book Holy See’s Archives as sources for American history written by Kathleen Cummings Sprows and published by Edizioni Sette Città. This book was released on 2022-05-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment in Rome of American Catholic Church’s potential and its problems began in the 1880s at the moment when the Holy See was looking for a way to overcome its political marginalization following the capture of Rome on September 20, 1870. In fact, the Vatican was transforming its world-wide religious network into a diplomatic one geared to sustain the international aims of a State that had lost its territory. Moreover, we should not underestimate the migration factor in the Italian Peninsula: the Italian diaspora was growing and Italian members of the Curia were worrying about the future of those who were flowing to the United States and other “Protestant” countries. At the same time, a number of the Vatican diplomats foresaw the shifting religious balance in North America as a result of the increase in Catholic migrants.

Download or read book America in Italy written by Axel Körner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America in Italy examines the influence of the American political experience on the imagination of Italian political thinkers between the late eighteenth century and the unification of Italy in the 1860s. Axel Körner shows how Italian political thought was shaped by debates about the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, but he focuses on the important distinction that while European interest in developments across the Atlantic was keen, this attention was not blind admiration. Rather, America became a sounding board for the critical assessment of societal changes at home. Many Italians did not think the United States had lessons to teach them and often concluded that life across the Atlantic was not just different but in many respects also objectionable. In America, utopia and dystopia seemed to live side by side, and Italian references to the United States were frequently in support of progressive or reactionary causes. Political thinkers including Cesare Balbo, Carlo Cattaneo, Giuseppe Mazzini, and Antonio Rosmini used the United States to shed light on the course of their nation's political resurgence. Concepts from Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Vico served to evaluate what Italians discovered about America. Ideas about American "domestic manners" were reflected and conveyed through works of ballet, literature, opera, and satire. Transcending boundaries between intellectual and cultural history, America in Italy is the first book-length examination of the influence of America's political formation on modern Italian political thought.

This book was released on 2011-11-10T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questo è il terzo volume di un lavoro di ricerca collettiva iniziata otto anni fa dal Centro di Studi Americani. Dopo la pubblicazione dei volumi relativi alla Repubblica Romana e all'Unità d'Italia si presenta qui una collezione di saggi sugli Stati Uniti e la questione romana. Lo scopo è ancora una volta quello di analizzare le reazioni statunitensi alle profonde trasformazioni che interessavano la penisola nel secondo Ottocento, focalizzando l'attenzione sugli anni immediatamente precedenti ed immediatamente successivi alla Breccia di Porta Pia. L'argomento non è ignoto alla storiografia, ma ha ricevuto una trattazione limitata, soprattutto dopo le pubblicazioni, ormai lontane nel tempo, di Howard R. Marraro e Leo F. Stock negli Stati Uniti e di Giorgio Spini in Italia. Quello attuale è perciò il primo tentativo dopo decenni di riprendere in considerazione tale tematica, e di affrontarla sotto prospettive nuove mantenendo al centro del lavoro la discussione nazionale e internazionale su Roma capitale. Il volume d'altronde non mira a definire tanto la temperie culturale negli Stati Uniti, quanto a capire come essa abbia ispirato una serie di iniziative diplomatiche e politiche: dal sostegno, neanche troppo velato, alla fase finale del nostro Risorgimento al riconoscimento di Roma capitale italiana, nonostante le proteste cattoliche. Come rilevano alcuni dei contributi, il discorso sull'Italia e su Roma era a volte uno specchio per parlare di questioni interne alla nazione divisa in due dalla guerra e dalla ricostruzione che ne seguì. Ancora una volta ci si è affidati alle fonti archivistiche cercando comunque di tenere presente un quadro più vasto dei rapporti diplomatici o religiosi. Per questo il presente volume fonde storia e letteratura e non disdegna il confronto con altre forme di espressione in modo di rendere meglio conto dell'atmosfera culturale negli Stati Uniti di quegli anni. Il volume è a cura di Daniele Fiorentino e Matteo Sanfilippo.
Book Synopsis Republics and empires by : Melissa Dabakis
Download or read book Republics and empires written by Melissa Dabakis and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Republics and empires provides transnational perspectives on the significance of Italy to American art and visual culture and the impact of the United States on Italian art and popular culture. Covering the period from the Risorgimento to the Cold War, it reveals the complexity of the visual discourses that bound two relatively new nations together. It also gives substantial attention to literary and critical texts that addressed the evolving cultural relationship between Italy and the United States. While American art history has tended to privilege French, British and German ties, these chapters highlight a rich body of contemporary research by Italian and American scholars that moves beyond a discussion of influence as a one-way directive towards a deeper understanding of cultural transactions that profoundly affected the artistic expression of both nations.
Book Synopsis George P. Marsh Correspondence by : George Perkins Marsh
Download or read book George P. Marsh Correspondence written by George Perkins Marsh and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He applied science to life, not with the disinterested precision of a scientist, but with the aims and methods of a humanist. After 1861 he represented the United States at the Court of Savoy, in the critical years in which Italy was built, and the United States reshaped along modern lines. From his perspective, he described prominent Italian contemporaries and their relations with the United States and his opinion could not be ignored by the Department of State. The hero of the Marsh reports was Giuseppe Garibaldi; the "devil", Napoleon III. His luminous exposition, with a clear and fresh language, revealed many aspects of his historical times and of the images of Italy, which were frequently corroborated by the diaries of American tourists and writers doing their "Grand Tour": far from being a modern country, Italy appeared a wonderful destination for traveling, the land of Dante, Machiavelli, Petrarca.
Book Synopsis Managing Migration in Italy and the United States by : Lauren Braun-Strumfels
Download or read book Managing Migration in Italy and the United States written by Lauren Braun-Strumfels and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-31 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Migration in Italy and the United States shows how the development of gatekeeping in the United States and Italy laid the groundwork for immigration restriction worldwide at the turn of the twentieth century. The volume brings together European and American scholars, many for the first time, effectively crossing national and disciplinary boundaries. Using archives on both sides of the Atlantic, the authors explore the rise of immigration restriction and the attendant growth of the bureaucracy to regulate migration through the lens of migration studies, transnational history, and diplomatic and international history. The essays contribute to recent scholarship on the global repercussions of immigration restriction and the complex web of interactions created by limits on mobility. Managing Migration brings to light Italy’s important role in the establishment of international border controls promoted by the United States and expands the chronology of restriction from its origins to the present.

Book Synopsis The Art of Objects by : Luca Cottini
Download or read book The Art of Objects written by Luca Cottini and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of Objects is a cultural history of early Italian industrialism, set against the political, social, and intellectual background of post-unification Italy, and a cutting-edge investigation of the formation of Italy's industrial culture at the turn of the twentieth century. Providing a close examination of several objects of mass consumption, including watches, photographs, bicycles, gramophones, cigarettes, and toys, author Luca Cottini explores the transformation of these objects from commercial items into aesthetic and philosophical icons. By focusing on the cultural significance of these objects as they enter the market and appear in contemporary works of art and literature, The Art of Objects outlines a comprehensive view of the age between the unification of Italy and Fascism, encompassing production and consumption, aesthetics and entrepreneurship, industry and the humanistic tradition. The observation of the slow formation of new languages, practices, and experiences around these objects also provides valuable insight into the creative laboratory of Italy's early industrial culture. By reconstructing the origins of the Italian culture of design, the book ultimately investigates Italy's critical reception of industrialism, the nation's so-called "imperfect" modernization, and its ongoing quest for an original way to modernity.

This book was released on 2013-11-11T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nel corso dell'Ottocento intellettuali, politici e combattenti per la libertà considerarono il Risorgimento un momento di importante trasformazione per le sorti del liberalismo e nella costruzione dello Stato-nazione. Tra costoro spiccavano di certo cittadini e rappresentanti degli Stati Uniti d'America che videro nel Risorgimento un'ideale continuazione del percorso liberal-repubblicano avviato con la guerra d'indipendenza americana. Questo volume prende in esame gli ultimi cinquant'anni del secolo nel contesto transnazionale, quando gli Stati Uniti rivolsero alle vicende italiane un'attenzione particolare che ha pochi eguali nella storia dei rapporti tra i due paesi. A seguire gli eventi e a coinvolgersi in essi non furono solo uomini di cultura e politici radicali ma anche gli apparati del governo federale e gli stessi funzionari di stanza in Europa. Il sacrificio di tanta gente comune insieme alle gesta di Garibaldi e alle sottigliezze di Cavour, attirarono un interesse che, come scrisse un diplomatico al culmine dell'esperienza della Repubblica romana del 1849, non consentiva di “rimanere spettatori indifferenti di fronte a una simile lotta”.

Download or read book Luigi Galleani written by Antonio Senta and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
