War and Citizenship: Enemy Aliens and National Belonging from the French Revolution to the First World War
No full textWhat did it mean to be an alien, and in particular an enemy alien, in the interstate conflicts that occurred over the nineteenth century and that climaxed in the First World War? In this ambitious and broad-ranging study, Daniela L. Caglioti highlights the many ways in which belligerent countries throughout the world mobilized populations along the member/non-member divide, redefined inclusion and exclusion, and refashioned notions and practices of citizenship. She examines what it meant to be an alien in wartime, how the treatment of aliens in wartime interfered with sovereignty and the rule of law, and how that treatment affected population policies, individual and human rights, and conceptions of belonging. Concentrating on the gulf between citizens and foreigners and on the dilemma of balancing rights and security in wartime, Caglioti highlights how each country, regardless of its political system, chose national security even if this meant reducing freedom, discriminating among citizens and non-citizens, and violating international law
L-nucleosides
No full textThis chapter provides an overview concerning the synthesis of L-nucleosides and their analogues. The first section deals with L-nucleosides, which maintain a close relationship with ribose and deoxyribose derivatives. The second section covers furanose nucleosides without the 2′ and 3′ hydroxyl groups. The third section talks about carbovir, which has been reported as the first carbocyclic nucleoside analogue, with potent anti-HIV activity in vitro; its discovery provided a base for the synthesis of other carbocyclic analogues. Among all types of aza-nucleosides, five-membered pyrrolidine-type nucleosides have been investigated particularly because of their high similarity with naturally occurring nucleosides. Next, the chapter talks about the thionucleosides. Several purine and pyrimidine-L-dioxolane nucleosides have been reported using the acetoxy dioxolane 370 as a glycosyl donor for condensation under classical Vorbrüggen conditions. The final section talks about the oxathiolanyl nucleosides

Censorship in World War I: the Action of Wilson's Committee on Public Information
No full text"The Committee on Public Information was created by Woodrow Wilson during World War I as a government instrument for the management of public opinion during wartime. Headed by George Creel, the CPI quickly dominated two key and interwined aspects of mass communications: censorship and propaganda. Praised as "a nationalizing force at home and an Americanizing agent abroad", the Committee's overall goal was to promote the circulation of positive images of the United States and counter or prevent the spread of negative perceptions of the USA or of Great Britain and other Allied Powers. Daniela Rossini sees in the CPI's activities "a crusading attitude and a skillful combination of selective repression, centralization of information, control of the media and propaganda", that enabled Wilson's administration to manage public opinion in an unparalleled way. Censorship was not simply imposed by the government. The press, the film industry, other mass media, and the general public were urged, for the sake of honor and patriotism, to comply with CPI guidelines. In other words, the government sought to mobilize a general "self-imposed conformism" in order to achieve what amounted to high level of voluntary censorship. The CPI also undertook missions abroad. Charles Merriam led one such mission to Italy, organizing the first mass propaganda campaign in favor of he United States in that country, and offering a plan to improve Italian propaganda in the United States. Noting John Dewey's observation on the efficacy of mass methods in manufacturing popular sentiment for all kinds of causes (worth or not), this essay argues that the fabrication of consent was in fact achieved by repression of democratic rights. Daniela Rossini is careful to point out that U.S. censorship and propaganda were not so heavy handed as they were at that time in Italy, France or other European countries, but she echos arguments similar to those used by Alex Goodall regarding the contradictory nature of Wilsonian policies and their adverse effects on the functioning of democracy in the United States. The capacity of government-inspired censorship and propaganda to fabricate majority consent was proven by the CPI and the reactions of USAmerican society during World War I. This experience undermined basic U.S. assumptions about enlightened public opinion. It shed doubts on the capacity and willingness of an intelligent general public to maintain independent and diverse rational opinions. Furthermore, the author argues, it created a social atmosphere which was unfavorable to the expression of dissent, while sowing the seeds of reactionary postwar hysteria which encouraged antidemocratic attitudes of "isolationism, illiberalism and intollerance"."

Il conflitto israelo-palestinese 1993-2010. Vincitori e vinti senza pace.
No full textQuesto volume nasce dall’esigenza di offrire agli studenti universitari e al più vasto pubblico italiano un’analisi approfondita dello stato attuale del conflitto israelo-palestinese, mantenendo tuttavia uno sguardo alle sue dinamiche storiche.
Dopo un capitolo introduttivo sulle politiche di occupazione israeliane e sul quadro politico e diplomatico che ha accompagnato il conflitto dalla fine della guerra fredda, il volume è diviso in tre parti: (1) la prima analizza il ruolo degli attori internazionali (USA e Unione Europea) nel conflitto; (2) la seconda è dedicata all’evoluzione della politica interna israeliana; (3) e, infine, la terza, esamina l’evoluzione della politica interna palestinese fino ad arrivare allo scontro attuale fra Hamas e Fatah.
Gli autori dei capitoli sono esperti di provenienza accademica che lavorano da anni sul conflitto nei loro rispettivi ambiti scientifici e che, insieme, cercano di dare risposte chiare a domande apparentemente semplici quali: “Perché il processo di pace di Oslo è fallito? Perché, nonostante il fallimento di Oslo e le guerre ricorrenti, si continua a parlare di un ‘processo di pace’ israelo-palestinese, scandito da inconcludenti rituali diplomatici? Perché Israele continua a costruire insediamenti nei Territori occupati palestinesi? Perché la classe politica palestinese si è spaccata al punto da determinare una situazione di quasi guerra civile?”.

Sulle tracce di Cassandra nella “Città degli Angeli”
No full textAl recupero della memoria tra antico e moderno è dedicato il saggio di Daniela Padularosa, che tenta di tracciare dei parallelismi tra il racconto di Christa Wolf Kassandra del 1983 e l’ultimo suo romanzo Stadt der Engel del 2010, in particolare nella definizione di una scrittura del pathos e della sofferenza, una scrittura della perdita e della ricerca, funebre e fantasmale. Nel suo ultimo romanzo la scrittrice si apre a una visione del mondo à vol d’oiseau, in cui l’assenza è sostituita tuttavia dall’immagine utopica della totalità della natura
