Evolution of Italian Enterprises in the 20th Century
During the first two-thirds of the 20th century the themes of sectorial structure and compared performance prevail in Italian economic historiography. In contrast, in the last part of the century attention is focused on the behavior of single economic actors and their micro-economic strategies. This book intends to act as a bridge between the two approaches, and reconstructs the secular journey of Italian industrial enterprise through an original study.
Italy's Jews from Emancipation to Fascism

Labour History in the Semi-periphery
This collective volume aims at studying a variety of labour history themes in Southern Europe, and investigating the transformations of labour and labour relations that these areas underwent in the 19th and the 20th centuries. The subjects studied include industrial labour relations in Southern Europe; labour on the sea and in the shipyards of the Mediterranean; small enterprises and small land ownership in relation to labour; formal and informal labour; the tendency towards independent work and the role of culture; forms of labour management (from paternalistic policies to the provision of welfare capitalism); the importance of the institutional framework and the wider political context; and women’s labour and gender relations.

Spies in European Culture, 1815-1914
This volume brings together academics from the USA and across Europe to examine the nature, representations and perceptions of the figure of the spy in Europe between 1815 and 1914. As such, it is the first scholarly investigation of the genesis both of contemporary espionage and of the cultural imagination associated with it. Spies in European Culture, 1815-1914 sheds light on the founding moment of espionage and the use of secrecy in politics in the contemporary age. It successfully argues that the 19th century saw the development of a cultural-historical process in which disruptive novelties like the disguise, the secret and the double identity simultaneously assailed the spheres of the state, the self and the imaginary, ushering in distinctive features of society in the modern era in the process. This global phenomenon, in which state and society, but also reality and fiction, were profoundly intertwined, is therefore investigated by means of a transdisciplinary analysis that considers both the politico-institutional and the cultural planes that existed at the time.
Fondato sul lavoro
Stefano Musso è lo storico italiano che ha dato continuità agli studi di storia del lavoro dagli anni settanta ad oggi, coltivandoli anche in stagioni di generale disinteresse da parte della cultura accademica e politica. Dai primi studi sugli operai torinesi del primo Novecento alla Storia del lavoro in Italia dall'Unità ad oggi (2002), fino ai contributi più recenti, Musso ha tenuto aperta e continuamente rinnovato una tradizione di ricerca rigorosa e appassionata sui mondi operai e dell'impresa, sul movimento sindacale e sulle politiche pubbliche del lavoro. In questi saggi raccolti in occasione del suo pensionamento da professore dell'Università di Torino, studiose e studiosi di diverse generazioni rendono omaggio al suo insegnamento scientifico e umano, in un tributo che è anche un impegno a continuare nel solco da lui tracciato.
Industrial Labour and the Environment
This volume brings the history of the environment together with that of work. Faced with the “great acceleration” of the second half of the twentieth century—characterized by the crisis of the relationship between economic development and civil progress—the history of the environment has tended to separate itself from the history of work. The idea behind this book is to bridge this cultural divide, because human work is one of the main parameters of the anthropic footprint left on ecosystems and social spaces. The dimension of work is—even in a dramatically lacerating form, as shown by the events of environmental and work conflicts in the 21st century—the mirror of the impact that human activities have on the environment. From a transnational perspective, this book points out some issues of future significance: the impact of production activities on the territory and forms of environmental protection; the fractures that the environmental issue generates in the disputed spaces between groups of workers and local communities; and the problems related to the processes of reclamation and redevelopment of dismantled industrial areas.
Cibo e Società. Una relazione da esplorare
Il volume offre una lettura multidisciplinare della complessa relazione che intercorre tra cibo e società, in un sistema caratterizzato da regole, vincoli economici e sociali, politica. I saggi presentati discutono con approcci diversi il concetto di cibo, i simboli e il valore identitario ad esso associato in vari momenti storici e in vari contesti culturali. Si affronta la questione del diritto al cibo, guardando alle esperienze internazionali che diffondono modelli i cui effetti variano il modo di produrre e consumare beni alimentari. È la distanza tra luoghi di produzione e luoghi di consumo del cibo, che rende fondamentale il ruolo del diritto nella funzione di regolazione e informazi...
Hotelpersonal / Il personale alberghiero
