Maria Pia De Paulis, Xavier Tabet
From the dual perspectives of historiography and literature, this issue looks at the current process of change of Italian identity paradigms, accentuated by the fact that, in the early 1990s, the political parties that had emerged from the Resistance underwent profound changes.
Héloïse Faucherre-Buresi, Marie Lucas
This issue examines the link between the emergence of a "science" of folklore in Southern Italy and the theorisation of the “Southern Question” after unification. From romantic demology to 1950's ethnology, the South is sometimes associated with a timeless idea of the “people”, sometimes with a dynamic history of subaltern groups.
Claire Lorenzelli, Matteo Pasetti
This special issue delves into the circulation, reception and forms of hybridisation of Fascist Italy's corporatism worldwide between the 1920s and the 1950s. By postulating the idea of an Italian and international "corporative laboratory", this issue aims at offering a transnational history of this political, economic, and social model.
Maxime Boidy, Marie Fabre, Alice Leroy
The twelve contributions in this Laboratoire italien issue examine the record of the Genoa G8 counter-summit in July 2001, twenty years after its ferocious repression by the Italian police, by cross-referencing perspectives from social sciences, literary studies, oral narrative, film studies and visual studies.
Patricia Gaborik, Stéphanie Lanfranchi, Élise Varcin
In the wake of the recent publications on the centrality of culture in the Fascist totalitarian project, this issue examines Mussolini's relationship to the arts and vice versa more specifically, probing the aesthetic and political aspects of representations of the "duce" – both in Italy and in their circulation abroad.
Giancarlo Alfano, Laurent Baggioni
Disasters and catastrophes are considered here in the forms of writing they elicit within the human world they disrupt. The different case studies examined illustrate how far the variety and fluidity of the rhetorical-literary forms used in 14th-17th century Italy are a powerful factor in the evolution of language, literature and hermeneutic models
Marie Fabre, Corinne Manchio, Béatrice Manetti, Francesca Irene Sensini
This issue of Laboratoire italien follows a previous one devoted to Voices and Paths of Feminism in Women's Magazines (1870-1970). It provides an initial appraisal of Italian feminist magazines from the 1970s to the digital turn of the new millennium and the transnational dimension of contemporary feminisms.
Jean-Louis Fournel, Matteo Palumbo
This special issue, which is intended as an advisory report, analyses the up-heavals brought about in Italian universities by the Covid-19 pandemic, both in educational relationships and in the impact of distance from the space which is usually a hub for university life and the transmission of knowledge.
Laura Fournier-Finocchiaro, Liviana Gazzetta, Barbara Meazzi
Between the 19th and 20th centuries, women's magazines were the main instrument of debate and collective action for Italian feminism. They played a crucial role in Italian women’s engagement with international feminist associations and illustrate the complexity of feminist motivations and struggles.
Jean-Louis Fournel, Corinne Lucas Fiorato
This issue explores a little-studied aspect of works about the body: the interactions between the two semiotic systems of verbal language and gesture, an aspect of body language. In their interferences, from the 16th century onwards, a profound transformation of the social and individual functions of the "visibile parlare" took place
