Du Bois’ framing of race, and places them within a metaphysical and sociological analysis of exclusionary frameworks in contemporary Italy. Problematizing the formation of global black perspectives, this text intends to initiate an exchange that may foster the development of strategies, language and tools needed for the making of a new narrative in the Italian context, a narrative that cannot be realized without a profound reflection on the historical trajectory of cultural exchange between the African continent and the territory known as Italy extending back into antiquity. Drawing upon the dialogue initiated in the Young Gifted and Black Italia (Y.G.B.I.) Research Residency, a range of interviews carried out over the past decade and a half, and several research platforms developed by Black History Month Florence (B.H.M.F.), I hope to highlight the potential for collective approaches that have the potential to provide the scaffold for Italian specific meditations with transnational implications. Calling for multiplicities in relation to social and psychological understandings of displacements and states of post-displacement in Italy, this writing seeks a contextually grounded positionality that, however hindered by the chauvinism of nationalistic narrations of history, imply an inclusion that need not be validated. In so doing I intimate an Italian-ness that is as conscious of how it is framed through its own making, as it is aware of the framing devices applied from abroad.","PeriodicalId":16364,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Italian Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"483 - 494"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42125398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In proposing the concept of post-displacement, Bond and Pipyrou highlight the deep and entangled histories of migration and colonialism that inform present day experiences of and contests over migration in Italy. At the same time, in their use of the prefix ‘post’, they shift attention to future oriented visions, hopes, potentialities, and anxieties. In particular, they focus on ‘the gaps, intervals, pauses and delays between hope and disillusionment that characterize displacement, because it is in this gap that speculation resides’. This move underscores the contingencies of historical processes and disrupts easy linear narratives, despite the ways that the ‘post’ tag conventionally stands for what comes after in a chronological sequence. In a now distant 1992, Anne McClintock cautioned scholars about the ‘almost ritualistic ubiquity of “post” words in current culture’, noting how the ‘term post-colonial . . . is haunted by the very figure of linear “development” that it sets out to dismantle’ (McClintock 1995, 10). As the articles reveal, the editors and authors reference multiple meanings and registers of ‘post’ displacement. To be sure, in some instances post here does signal something that follows another state or period, as with Giuliana Sanò and Francesco Zanotelli’s exploration of migrant experiences after their reception within the bureaucratic machinery of the Italian/E.U. mobility regimes. Yet Sanò and Zanotelli do not restrict their meaning to mere posteriority, exploring the multiple temporalities and spatialities (or im-mobilities, as opposed to mere immobilities) that characterize migrants’ experiences beyond institutional reception centres. This conjoins notions of after and beyond, time and space, as well as North and South, to reread the experiences of migrants like the young Malian man Djon interviewed by Sanò. Whereas in the eyes of anti-immigrant populists Djon might appear to be ‘doing nothing’ to improve his living conditions and opportunities, Sanò and Zanotelli consider Djon’s non-action as ‘a tactic . . . . . . the capability of Djon to practice his future while standing still’.

Bond, Stavroula Pipyrou","doi":"10.1080/1354571X.2023.2198838","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1354571X.2023.2198838","url":null,"abstract":"Italy holds multiple histories of displacement in both its past and present times. These might be said to begin with the ‘many diasporas’ of Italians sketched by Donna Gabaccia in her 2000 book of the same name, which charts the emigration of around 27 million people away from Italy from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Such outward displacements were not always permanent and gave rise to multiple webs of transnational identifications within narratives of Italianness. The vast majority occurred directly after the national process of Unification (1861–70), and just before the start of Italy’s first forays into establishing overseas colonies in the Horn of Africa (1882–90), thus displacing the concept of the nation at the very point of its foundation. There was a further, acute convergence of mobility that took place in the second half of the twentieth century, where Italian emigration shrank just as inward migration to the peninsula from the Global South and Eastern Europe increased. This occurred alongside a gradual acknowledgment of Italy’s (post-)colonial past and the ways in which its after-effects still persist within a multitude of structures and practices in contemporary society. As Cristina Lombardi-Diop and Caterina Romeo state: ‘the temporal and spatial axes that link colonization, emigration, and immigration set Italy apart from other European contexts’. Our sense as editors is that something might have gotten stuck in the neat convergence of these accounts of temporal and spatial displacements, of pasts of outward emigration and presents of post-colonial migration. They connect ‘all at one point’ in the eloquent sketch of what Teresa Fiore calls Italy’s ‘pre-occupied spaces’, spaces that encapsulate past and present stories within new transnational and postcolonial networks. But the temporal arc involved is limited to looking around, and then back – so where within it can we locate discourses that attend to the future? What would happen to our understandings of Italy’s displacements if we were to shift our temporal gaze forward? Could we start to put together a toolkit that would allow us to map, chart, plan for and make space for Italy’s post-displacement futures? How might past and present displacements potentially haunt and unsettle such futures? At the same time, multiple Italian displacements have passed unacknowledged, and have often been hidden in layers of shame.
