Italy in the New International Order, 1917–1922
This edited collection offers the first systematic account in English of Italy’s international position from Caporetto – a major turning-point in Italy’s participation in the First World War – to the end of the liberal regime in Italy in 1922. It shows that after the ‘Great War’, not only did Italy establish itself as a regional power but also achieved its post-unification ambition to be recognised, at least from a formal viewpoint, as a great power. This subject is addressed through multiple perspectives, covering Italy’s relations and mutual perceptions vis-à-vis the Allies, the vanquished nations, and the ‘New Europe’. Fourteen contributions by leading historians reappraise Italy’s role in the construction of the post-war international order, drawing on extensive multi-archival and multi-national research, combining for the first time documents from American, Austrian, British, French, German, Italian, Russian and former Yugoslav archives.
A Twentieth-century Prophet
"This volume represents the first ever extensive biography of Oscar Jaszi, historian, political theorist and sociologist, who dedicated his tremendous intellect to modern democracy in Hungary. A man exiled from his homeland, Jaszi's moral courage stood strong against the political tyranny and totalitarianism of the interwar period that nearly destroyed Hungary's political and social foundations. From his early years as co-founder and editor of the influential Hungarian periodical "Twentieth Century" to his later life as professor at Oberlin College in Ohio, he worked tirelessly for the values of liberalism and humanism, fused with the notion that "a new moral, social, and economic synthesis ...
Donne di fronte alla guerra
A differenza dei tanti uomini pronti a misurarsi in quella che considerarono un'eroica ed elettrizzante avventura, le donne italiane non invocarono la guerra. Ci fu poi un gruppo di utopiste, legate a una rete internazionale di militanti, che avanzò una ferma critica al sistema di potere maschile. Per quella élite di femministe e di suffragiste erano gli uomini a capo dei governi e della diplomazia, che sceglievano di dirimere i conflitti tra le nazioni attraverso lo strumento della guerra, a provocare dolore e spargimenti di sangue. Per questo motivo, negli anni a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento e nel corso del primo conflitto mondiale, chiesero più diritti e più democrazia per le donne e sollecitarono la loro partecipazione nelle decisioni sulle vicende nazionali e internazionali.

Otras Miradas. Desafiar al Canon desde las aulas
La Historia y la Historia de la Literatura se han dejado en el tintero a la mitad de las protagonistas que han contribuido a conformar la vida tal y como la conocemos hoy: mujeres que el canon tradicional decidió dejar en los márgenes de lo hegemónico. La academia no tiene -o no ha querido tener- memoria. La recuperación de las muy distintas voces de las autoras que a lo largo de los siglos han conseguido romper con la constante desvalorización hacia sus producciones artísticas, forma parte del ideario feminista para la creación de una memoria histórica y literaria ad aeternam, en la que se reconstruye la cultura y se contruye la memoria futura de las mujeres. Las aportaciones del vo...
