Dr PAOLO FAVERO (Lisbon University Institute)
“Italians the Good People: Reflections on National Self- Representation in
Contemporary Italian Debates on Xenophobia and War”
Friday, 3 December 2010
5.00 - 7.00pm
Italian Seminar Room, Foster Court 351
Moving among historical material and contemporary debates on xenophobia
and war, this seminar will explore the self-representation “Italiani Brava
Gente”, an image claiming the intrinsic goodness of the Italian people.
Functioning as an ideological laundry for reformulating and the setting
aside disquieting moments of national shame, “Italiani Brava Gente” is
central to the construction of a modern Italian identity.
