  • Italian Historical Writing

    Stuart WoolfBOOKThe Oxford History Of Historical…2018

    This chapter examines the relations between party and history in post-Fascist Italy, foregrounding Italy’s most distinctive contribution to post-war historical method— microstoria . Microhistory’s exponents have proposed a radical challenge, not only to the traditionally dominant form of writing history from the viewpoint of the state and ruling elites, but more fundamentally to the generalizing assumptions of the social sciences. Microhistorians…

    Diary of life in fascist internment is the diary of Nino Contini, a Jewish lawyerfrom Ferrara, from 1940 to 8 September 1943, and then in Naples, just freed by theAllied military. The diary offers a unique picture of daily life in internment camps,to which the fascist regime sent 13.000 persons. The diary, written during the yearsof internment, is distinctively different from the published memoriesor oralinterviews of later years

  • Le traiettorie di Primo Levi

    Stuart WoolfARTICLEPASSATO E PRESENTE2013

    Primo Levi had a passion for languages. This was apparent in his direct involvement in the translations of his books, starting with If this is a man, which I translated with him. He translated Kafka, and was fascinated with the world of askenazi Jews and Yiddish. His testimony of the holocaust remained central through his life, and underlay his growing concern at the emergence of new forms of the extreme right and denial of the extermination camp…

  • The Centre for the Advanced Study of Italian Society at Reading

    Open AccessStuart WoolfARTICLEModern Italy2011Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    The Centre for the Advanced Study of Italian Society was created by Stuart Woolf at Reading University in 1966. It provided the institutional basis for close collaboration with Italian academics and politicians, many of whom participated in seminars. It attracted funding from Italy for research collaboration with Italian academics. The presence of the Centre led to donations from English antifascists of books and archives, and to the acquisition …

  • Giuliano Procacci and nationalism

    Stuart WoolfARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2010

    The work and career of the late Giuliano Procacci (1926–2008) is reviewed. One of the few Italian historians of his generation who sought to make his work accessible to a wide educated public, Procacci's historical writing, political commitment and moral conviction were closely connected, while the cosmopolitan and international scope of his work in turn reflected his belief in an ‘inter-dependent world sysetm’. This critical analysis shows how t…

  • La Repubblica italiana nata dalla guerra

    Contributi Di Giovanni De Luna, Stuart Woolf et al.ARTICLEPASSATO E PRESENTE2010

    In The «People of the Dead». The Italian Republic born from the war 1940-46 (il Mulino, Bologna 2009), Leonardo Paggi quotes a phrase of Piero Calamandrei in the Constituent Assembly, in which he identified the victims of the second world war as the legitimation, at its deepest level, of the Constitution of the new Republic. Paggi develops the theme at the historiographical level, thus anticipating the birth of the Republic at the analytical leve…

  • Un ranking internazionale per le riviste di storia

    Angélique Porciani, Ilaria Porciani et al.ARTICLEPASSATO E PRESENTE2009

    The history of the initiative of the European Science Foundation (Esf) to create a European Reference Index for the Humanities (Erih), intended to replace peer review by metrics, is reconstructed, with an analysis of the multiple limitations, distortions and negative consequences, that are apparent in the initial list, rendered public on the web in 2007. This followed by three case studies, of this followed by accounts of the highly negative resp…

  • Power and the Nation in European History

    Open AccessAnthony D M Smith, Susan Reynolds et al.BOOKPower and the Nation in European…2005

    Few would doubt the central importance of the nation in the making and unmaking of modern political communities. The long history of 'the nation' as a concept and as a name for various sorts of 'imagined community' likewise commands such acceptance. But when did the nation first become a fundamental political factor? This is a question which has been, and continues to be, far more sharply contested. A deep rift still separates 'modernist' perspec…

  • Europe and its Historians

    Open AccessStuart WoolfARTICLEContemporary European History2003Citada por: 6

    Histories of Europe have a long genealogy, whose origins can probably be found in the defence of Christian Europe, above all in humanist circles, against the threat of Muslim Ottoman expansion. In the course of the Enlightenment and the Napoleonic years, earlier elements that were regarded as characterising all Europe crystallised into a sense common to European elites – described as ‘civilisation’ – of the distinctiveness and superiority of Euro…

  • Reply to Vinen

    Open AccessStuart WoolfARTICLEContemporary European History2003

    It is possible, as Richard Vinen claims, that I arrange historians into categories that are too neat and selective. But I am puzzled by the relationship of his examples to the particular point that I was making. My argument was that the two world wars were experienced as a crisis that placed in doubt the assumptions underlying the interpretation of the long-term progress of European civilisation. I limited my illustration of this to historians wh…

  • Napoleon's Integration of Europe

    Stuart WoolfBOOKNapoleon's Integration of Europe2002

    Histories of the Napoleonic period are almost exclusively biographies of the man, or political-military accounts of his wars. But such wars were only the first stage in a far more ambitious programme; the establishment of a rational state which would force the pace of modernising society. Through an examination of the experiences of French domination, Napoleon's Integration of Europe explores the implications of such a project for France and its …

  • Reading Federico Chabod's Storia dell'idea d'Europa half a century later

    Stuart WoolfARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies2002Referencias: 3

    Federico Chabod was one of Italy's most respected historians in a period that ran from the late 1920s down to the 1950s, and hence was an important intellectual protagonist in the intellectual culture of both Fascist and post-Second World War Italy. In this article Stuart Woolf re-examines Chabod's intellectual itinerary in both these periods, and focuses in particular on the course of lectures on the idea of Europe that Chabod gave in 1943-4 and…

  • Napoleon and Europe revisited

    Stuart WoolfARTICLEModern & Contemporary France2000Citada por: 4Referencias: 3

    This article outlines the main themes of my book Napoleon's Integration of Europe (1991). Napoleonic France and Europe constituted an inseparable whole, through the ambitions of the French political class to impose an administrative prism of rational, modernising reforms on what were perceived as less developed societies. Such a study implied a dual dimension: the ideals and practices of the Imperial administration, and their impact on the subjec…

  • Primo Levi's sense of history

    Stuart WoolfARTICLEJournal of Modern Italian Studies1998Referencias: 5

    Primo Levi was distant from professional historical research, but read consistently the historical literature on Nazism and the Second World War. His sense of history was that of the cultural anthropologist, with an epic, literary approach to the history of humanity. Levi's public interviews and conversations clarify the evolution of his reflections on Auschwitz and the Lager, and the conditions under which collective human behaviour can degenera…

    Histories of the Napoleonic period are almost exclusively biographies of the man, or political-military accounts of his wars. But such wars were only the first stage in a far more ambitious programme; the establishment of a rational state which would force the pace of modernising society.
