The deportees into Nazi extermination camps charge the Shoa as the unutterable experience of the twentieth century that remains unsurpassed. They serve as witnesses of an event that, more than any other event, cannot be explained or rationalized. With this book, the author ponders upon this subject, addressing in particular those who were born in the world "after Auschwitz." The author, through his analysis of the spatial-temporal, symbolic and physical structure of the lager pieces together the specific pedagogy of annihilation, which was an original Nazi creation. He introduces the lager as a pedagogical device that, in addition to destroying individuals, placed them in a condition of self-destruction. Searching for traces of that expropriation and liquidation device within modern societies, the author finds opportunities of resistance and opposition by individual subjects."
Is historical knowledge important for education? How can we build a shared historical knowledge with schools, communities, and education professionals? The book responds to these questions by suggesting the public history approach, as applied in education and, more generally, to all professions that are based on human relations. The public history of education refers directly to North American experiences, but at the same time it is part of a process of European cultural acceptance and re-elaboration that has one of its main points of reference in the Italian Public History Association. The objective is not to make history for the general public, but to make public history with all those interested, in a collaborative and participative context, in the quest for meaningful knowledge, directly related to the current and challenging needs of our society.
Qual è il valore del corpo nella dimensione della ricerca? Quale ruolo può avere in ciascuna delle fasi in cui si struttura una ricerca qualitativa? Lo studio sviluppato nel presente volume cerca di rispondere a queste domande immergendosi in un’indagine il cui stesso oggetto ha una caratterizzazione fortemente corporea: l’embodied teaching, ovvero la dimensione incarnata dei processi di insegnamento e apprendimento in contesto scolastico. Collocandosi nel macro-paradigma dell’embodiment e nel campo di studio della Pedagogia del corpo, il testo è il racconto scientifico di un’esperienza di ricerca tesa a dare valore alla dimensione incarnata della conoscenza. Partendo come ricerca cooperativa a matrice corporeo- narrativa, lo studio si sviluppa attraverso una svolta performativa che ne trasforma la natura e che ne rappresenta il tratto più peculiare: un’analisi e poi una restituzione performativa dei dati che consente di osservare il tema dell’embodied teaching da una prospettiva specifica e coerente con i suoi assunti di fondo.
In the early 1900s the Catholic Church appealed, for the first time in its history, directly to women to reassert its religious, political and social relevance in Italian society. This book examines how the highly successful conservative Catholic women's movements that followed, and how they mobilized women against secular feminism.
What have the achievements of Women’s and Gender History, as a field of study, been in Italy? To what extent has it succeeded in making women’s history an integral part of academic enquiry rather than an optional specialist area? What impact has the study of manhood and masculinities had on our understanding of women’s lives? What is the relationship between gender studies and new critical histories of colonialism and empire, contact zones, cross-cultural encounters and racialisation? How is new work on cultural geography and spatial categories impacting our historical understandings of bodily differences? The articles collected here are inspired by these questions, previously posed by Karen Offen and Chen Yan to an international group of historians. They discuss several critical themes, including: the challenges the field has experienced in the Italian institutional context and which it continues to face today; how we can move the conversation beyond Italy and Europe to other international arenas; and how to expand the research on topics like the history of masculinities, gay and lesbian studies, colonial studies, and global history.

O livro Remoções de favelas no Rio Janeiro: entre formas de controle e resistências busca discutir uma conjuntura recente na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, na qual uma forma de intervenção estatal sobre as favelas, que se considerava superada, tanto política quanto academicamente, retornou com força considerável: as remoções. No período analisado, foram mais de 22 mil famílias retiradas de suas casas, espalhadas pela cidade ou realocadas em locais distantes e sem infraestrutura, em conjuntos habitacionais de péssima qualidade e com acesso precário a inúmeros serviços e bens de cidadania. Tal política provocou uma ruptura significativa na vida de milhares de pessoas, utilizou-se de ameaças e coações, além da violência física. Provocou, em conjunto com outras intervenções que ocorreram no período que vai de 2009 até 2016, alterações profundas no tecido urbano, nos seus usos e fluxos constitutivos, intensificando os processos de segregação socioespacial que historicamente marcam a cidade.
