Women in Italy, 1945-1960: An Interdisciplinary Study

This volume brings together specialists from a variety of disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of the social, political, and cultural history of women in Italy in the years 1946-1960. Despite being a time when women and the family were at the center of national debates, and when society changed considerably, the fifteen years following the Second World War have tended to be overlooked or subsumed into discussions of other periods. By focusing on the experience of women and by broadening the frame of reference to include subjects and sources often ignored, or only alluded to, by traditional analyses, the essays in this volume break new ground and provide a corrective to previous interpretive models.

The gap between prescriptions and behaviour, ideals and realities, expectations and outcomes provides the space for fascinating studies of a period of transition from a war-torn Italy to a country on the brink of unprecedented prosperity. Genuinely interdisciplinary in its scope, this collection includes neglected areas, such as the 1960 Rome Olympics or the advice columns of popular magazines, as well as revisiting more familiar texts. A valuable resource for students as well as scholars.'

And yet, the topic has received only scattered scholarly attention to date. By bringing together many of the leading authorities on charms and charming from Europe and North America, this book aims to rectify this neglect, and by presenting discussions covering a variety of periods and of locations - from Finland to France, and from Hungary to England - it forms an essential reader on the topic. 1 Fascinating subject, due for revival of scholarly interest 2 Work by leading experts in the field 3 Wide range of perspectives from group of international scholars 4 Pan-European coverage '[A] thought-provoking history of charms from the medieval period.' - Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature OWEN DAVIES Lecturer in History, University of Hertfordshire, UK DAVID ELTON GAY Lecturer in Folklore, School of Continuing Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA SANDA GOLOPENTIA Professor of French Studies, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA HENNI ILOMAKI Chief Librarian of the Finnish Literature Society, Finland LEA T.

Innovative theoretical analysis suggests ways of responding anew across difference and beyond dominant ways of thinking about political community and conflict. Culture and conflict resolution are topical at the moment but there are few in-depth singe authored works looking at this subject The author combines practical experience and theoretical discussion. The practitioner experience of the author is valuable, particularly since it is cross-cultural and thus directly relevant to the project Brigg has a unique perspective on culture and conflict, combining ontological/philosophical views such as Martin Buber, ideas about selfhood, and a socio-political approach The author's experience with Australian Aboriginal worldviews and the argument for relational ways of knowing generates a personable writing style which speaks directly to the reader '...Dr. Brigg's facility with language is remarkable...'
