The politics of food in Italy
Following the French example, the Meloni government has introduced the phrase 'sovranità alimentare' (sovereignty in food) into the title of the ministry of agriculture, and makes clear that it is engaging in a very determined effort to defend and promote the cultural heritage of Italian cuisine on all fronts, at home and abroad. But the origins of this impulse go back to the 1980s and the arrival of the McDonald's hamburger chain, which gave bir…

Fame amid the Ruins. Italian Film Stardom in the Age of Neorealism STEPHEN GUNDLE, 2020
This elegantly produced book, complete with a lavish choice of illustrations all supplied by the author, confirms Stephen Gundle’s status as the leading historian of Italian cinema in the English-s
Softly softly, or not so softly
The unreliable wisdom of hindsight
A Civil War
That Claudio Pavone’s monumental reflection on the many meanings of Italy’s wartime resistance movement should have finally found an English-language publisher is a great tribute to all concerned: the editor Stanislao Pugliese, its academic sponsors (including Charles Maier, Victoria de Grazia, Mark Mazower and the late Tony Judt) and Verso, the left-wing publishing house of London and New York. From the start, though, it should be made clear tha…
Propaganda, power and persuasion. From World War I to Wikileaks
An irony of the current international situation is that the two most militant, war-like protagonists of the scene—Putin’s Russia and ISIS—are among those most dedicated to supplying a ‘soft’ propag
Rebecca Prime. Hollywood Exiles in Europe
Rebecca Prime's outstanding book adds a new dimension to the substantial bibliography produced over the years on the workings of the House Un-American Activities Committee's (HUAC) investigations into the United States film industry, and its impact on those caught up in its activities. While every researcher in this area knows of the Hollywood writers, producers, and directors who were more or less forced to go abroad to seek work, this is the fi…
Arrivano gli Alleati! Amori e violenze nell'Italia liberata
The American challenge in uniform
A vast body of material exists – memoirs, diaries, films, plays, novels, official records – on the impact and reception of America’s armed forces armies in Europe after 1942. Britain, Italy, France, Austria and of course Germany all offer relevant evidence. The popular British phrase about the GI’s being ‘over-paid, over-sexed and over here’ brilliantly sums up many of the tensions the encounter threw up: over money and life-styles, courtship rit…
Is there a European culture
The article explores the historical roots of the current tensions between the local and the global in Europe, as expressed by the region's audio-visual industries. It suggests that current postures and initiatives have their origins in efforts, which began in the 1920s, to defend ‘an idea of nationhood which presumed sovereignty over culture’ (V. de Grazia), against the perceived onslaught of American cinema, jazz, radio, advertising, etc. The ar…
Antenatal risk factors for postnatal depression
The never-ending liberation
Presents the current debate (as of 2005) on the relationship between politics and historiography in the case of the Italian Resistance movement, 1943-5

Passato e Presente
Un Americano a Roma
The satirical film, Un americano a Roma is examined as a commentary on the absorption by Italians, and especially Italian youth, of fads and fashions deriving from America during the economic boom. Although no masterpiece, the film is an important reflection on Italian identity at a time of rapid and bewildering change. It reveals that, while America became ‘everyone's second culture’, loyalty to domestic traditions and customs remained strong
The Workings of American Power in Contemporary France
Richard Kuisel's new book comes as a surprise after his stately and impressive contribution in the area of political economy, Capitalism and the State in Modern France, a key reference point for anyone wishing to understand contemporary French economic development.1 As its title doubtless wishes to suggest, the new text offers more excitement and imagination, but at the same time the evidence is more speculative and the conclusions more tentative…
