italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies It's been a while since Antony Oldocorn post his phantastic and meta-post-ironical replies in this mailing list. I'm feeling very sad and a little bit depressing about it :'(, where are you, Antony? Pier Paolo Conti italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies > Il 7 novembre 2018 alle 18.47 Filippo De Vivo <[log in to unmask]> ha scritto: > > Birkbeck Visiting Professor Paul Ginsborg will give a public lecture on '1968 and the family’ on 28 November, 6pm > > Professor Paul Ginsborg is a leading authority on contemporary Italy. He taught European Politics at Cambridge, before moving to Italy in 1992 to take up the chair of contemporary European History at the University of Florence. He is the author of many books, amongst them: A history of contemporary Italy 1943-1988 (1990); a biography of Silvio Berlusconi (2003); The politics of everyday life (2005); Italy and its discontents, 1980-2001 (2006); Democracy: Crisis and Renewal (2008); and Family Politics, 1900-1950 (2014). In recent years he has been at the forefront of Italian civil society's mobilisation in defence of democracy. > > 'The literature on 1968 is by now very extensive, but it is striking how little of it is dedicated to families. This is all the more surprising given that the contesting of authority at all levels was probably the hallmark of the movement, and no institution was more omni-present and vulnerable to criticism than the family. I want to cast light on families’ role in 1968 by addressing a number of key areas: what sorts of alternatives to their own families of origin did the 68ers propose? Which were the texts, both historical and contemporary which most influenced them? Did the movement for communal living - particularly widespread in the USA - constitute any sort of viable alternative to home life in suburbia or on the social housing estates of post-war Europe?’ - Paul Ginsborg, September 2018 > > To find out more and reserve a place visit: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1968-and-the-family-tickets-48561482702 > > > http://www.bbk.ac.uk/history/news/visiting-professor-paul-ginsborg-to-give-public-lecture-on-1968-at-birkbeck > > > > > Filippo de Vivo > Professor of Early Modern History > Birkbeck, University of London > > > > ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/italian-studies > ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/italian-studies
