A Tight Embrace
This book provides various examples showing how Europe and Africa can be conceptualized and researched as a single macro-area connected by interrelated, global and multilevel dynamics. What types of relations characterize Europe and Africa today? The nature of the connections is neither clear nor unilinear: rather, they appear dialectical, multifaceted and pointing in different directions. This edited book explores narratives, contemporary dynamics and historical legacies demonstrating the long-standing relations between the continents, suggesting that the entangled Euro-African relations in multiple fields should be intended as a permanent condition for any analyses. The authors provide var...
Italian Experiences of Trauma through Film and Media
This volume offers new approaches to considering Italy’s traumatic experiences through a wide array of media, including film, documentaries, docufiction, websites, YouTube videos, advertisements, newspapers, and literature, that have not yet been fully analyzed. It looks at the trauma inflicted on Italians not, simply, as national or cultural traumas but, rather, as the creation/identification of subnational and transnational communities shaped by these trauma cases. The term “subnational”, or “transnational”, community is used mostly in reference to human beings, as they form those communities; however, they are also connected to a specific place, namely Italy. In addition, whereas “things” cannot become traumatized, this book also considers “living things,” such as the environment and the nature, which may create further trauma(s) for people.
The Root of All Evil
Tripoli, 1960s. During the years in which post-colonial Libya fell prey to the sprawling greed of the West, Michele Balistreri suffered a succession of blows that would scar him for life. The death of his mother; the unspeakable horror that befell his best friend's family; his father's role in Gaddafi's ascent to power; and the innocent blood pact that would corrupt the course of his future. Rome, 1982. In the wake of a ruinous blunder, a ground-down Commissario Balistreri escapes his regrets through sex, alcohol and gambling. His sole responsibilities are now a stilted investigation into the death of a South American student, and a tiresome obligation - as a gratitude to the man who saved his career - to a rising television starlet needing protection from the pitfalls of fame. As the risks to this girl, Claudia Teodori, begin to rise along with her reputation, the sorrows of Balistreri's past also start to push back into his present. Both of their fates are inextricably linked - and this driven, obsessive young woman must help this damaged detective fight a foe that follows her and refuses to forget him.

Soldaten zwischen zwei Uniformen
Mehr als hunderttausend Soldaten der österreich-ungarischen Armee waren italienischer Muttersprache. Sie stammten aus dem Trentino oder dem Küstenland und kämpften im Ersten Weltkrieg im Heer des Kaiserreiches. Sie sprachen die Sprache des Feindes, weshalb sie aus nationaler Sicht als nicht vertrauenswürdig und verdächtig galten. Sie wurden hauptsächlich an die weit entfernte russische Front geschickt, wo Tausende von ihnen in Gefangenschaft gerieten. Den zwischen Österreich und Italien Zerrissenen begegnete man in beiden Ländern mit Misstrauen und in den russischen Gefangenenlagern waren sie gegensätzlichen Beeinflussungen und Versuchen nationaler Umerziehung ausgesetzt. Auf der Grundlage österreichischer und italienischer Quellen sowie von Memoiren von Soldaten werden ihre bewegten Geschichten rekonstruiert, geprägt von jahrelangem Krieg, Gefangenschaft und schwieriger Rückkehr. Anhand der Schicksale der italienischen Soldaten zeigt Andrea Di Michele die komplexen nationalen Dynamiken in den letzten Jahren des österreichisch-ungarischen Kaiserreiches.
