In questo ambito il turismo costiero è stato ampiamente indagato, anche se più in riferimento all'esperienza della spiaggia che per la nautica da diporto o le crociere. Oggi, Unione europea, Nazioni unite e Banca mondiale indicano il turismo come una delle componenti dell'economia del mare (blue economy), attribuendogli un ruolo importante nella sfi da per la sostenibilità. Spetta alla ricerca storica disegnare nuovi percorsi capaci di abbracciare il concetto di sostenibilità (sociale e culturale) e di concettualizzare un collegamento fra mare e costa all'interno delle destinazioni turistiche, intese come aree geografi che con confi ni amministrativi, delle quali esiste un'immagine nella mente dei turisti e dove sono disponibili esperienze per i visitatori, opera una organizzazione con funzioni di coordinamento, vive e lavora una comunità di stakeholder e residenti.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"11 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141846242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In effetti, come molte altre \"industrie culturali\" italiane di quegli anni, il fumetto partecipa della trasformazione produttiva del Paese con uno spostamento dai grandi centri editoriali, come Milano, alla provincia, dove nascono nuovi editori; allo stesso tempo, le testate si moltiplicano e il fumetto esce dai ristretti confi ni delle letture \"per ragazzi\" in cui era stato confi nato fi no ad allora. Sul piano dei contenuti, poi, si manifesta allora una crescente contaminazione dei linguaggi tra fumetto d'autore e popolare, ma anche tra editoria mainstream e underground. Nell'esaminare questi aspetti, l'autore analizza la capacità del fumetto di rifl ettere alcuni dei cambiamenti culturali degli anni Ottanta, individuando l'esistenza di una \"domanda di politica\" che va oltre la stereotipata interpretazione del \"rifl usso\" come tratto dominante di questo periodo.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"17 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141840922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It does so by analysing the presence of a section of the Italian Communist Party in Mogadishu in 1942. After describing its origins and relations with the military administration and the Italian community in British-occupied Somalia, the article examines the activities of the communists in Mogadishu and their relationship with the party, from which the local section seems to have been quite autonomous. While this confirms that the ideas and practices of the communist movement circulated well beyond the networks of the Third International, it is also an atypical element in the political context of those years. The article then identifies the section's recruitment of militants in British prison camps as a peculiar variation of the Tolliattian ‘new party', before concluding with a discussion of the paternalist and colonialist attitudes underlying the exclusion of Somalis from the section's political horizon.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"43 42","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140796547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the students were involved in political activities both in the Eastern bloc and in Western Germany, France and Great Britain, there is a gap in academic research on this involvement in the Italian case. This article offers the first reconstruction of African student activism in Italy in the 1960s, tracing the modalities of association and mapping the links of this activism with various Italian organisations, in particular anti-colonial student organisations and the Catholic Ufficio Centrale Studenti Esteri in Italia. The article shows that throughout the decade, the African students' interests shifted from anti-colonialism to anti-imperialism and that their associations underwent a process of radicalisation, partly linked to the concurrent transformations of the Italian student movement, and partly to developments in African politics.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"13 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140763151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing mainly on unpublished oral sources and advice columns in women's magazines, it assesses the contribution of the feminist method of consciousness-raising to the reception of and reaction to the so-called sexual revolution. Focusing on the ‘long 1968' as it unfolded in Italy, I analyse how the new models of an apparently freer sexuality were appropriated and adapted to the emotional counter-community created by feminists practising consciousness-raising towards what would later be defined as sexual liberation, and I discuss the openings and limits that this approach has entailed.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"6 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140762783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piluso","doi":"10.3280/icyearbook2022-2023-oa004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3280/icyearbook2022-2023-oa004","url":null,"abstract":"The creation of the European Monetary System (EMS) between 1977 and 1979 introduced an element that would become central to Italy's strategy of adjustment to the macroeconomic shocks of the 1970s: the ‘external constraint', a political device — albeit with a technocratic matrix — designed to reduce public debt and enhance the country's economic competitiveness.Conceived by an economist at the Bank of Italy, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, in 1978, the reforms of the ambitious programme known as the Pandolfi Plan were designed to restore the competitiveness of the Italian economy. The plan described the main features of the lira's entry into the EMS as an external constraint, based on indications from the Bank of Italy's Director General Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and despite objections from Governor Paolo Baffi.At that juncture, the Bank of Italy consciously assumed the role of substitute that would characterise its action in the following decade, motivating and orienting the country's political choices in favour of an ever more urgent economic and monetary integration of Europe, towards what would finally be formalised with the Maastricht Treaty. Consistently with the structure of the EMS, the external constraint outlined in the Pandolfi Plan moved towards exchange rate constraints related to public finances and to the phenomena of fiscal dominance typical of monetary policy in Italy; it was essentially transformed into a fiscal policy constraint formally recognised in July 1981, with the so-called divorce between the Bank of Italy and the Treasury. The classic external constraint related to the balance of payments accounts and foreign exchange rates remained unchanged towards the rest of the world, meaning that it had an economic and not a \"legal\" nature, as defined by Guido Carli in the early 1990s.","PeriodicalId":81587,"journal":{"name":"Italia contemporanea","volume":"636 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140776989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
