Vico's New Science of the Intersubjective World
ISBN: 9780268100285 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Memories and Silences Haunted by Fascism: Italian Colonialism MCMXXX-MCMLX
ISBN: 9783039118021 / Angielski / Miękka / 359 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fascist and colonial legacies have been determinant in shaping how Italian colonialism has been narrated in Italy till the late 1960s. This book deals with the complex problem of public memory and discursive amnesia.
The detailed research that underpins this book makes it no longer possible to claim that after 1945 there was an absolute and traumatic silence concerning Italy s colonial occupation of North and East Africa. However, the abiding public use of this history confirms the existence of an extremely selective and codified memory of that past. The author shows that colonial...
