No full textUn provvedimento del fascismo per gli studenti universitari: il brevetto sportivo obbligatorio
No full textFascism paid special attention to university student formation because it was from the student body that the future ruling class was to emerge, and fascist policy intended to develop the «new Goliard», disciplined and loyal to the regime. Sport played a vital role and, in 1935, the secretary of the Partito nazionale fascista (Pnf), Achille Starace, declared that, in order to hold a Gruppo universitario fascista (Guf) membership card, students had to obtain the appropriate sports certificate. This entailed passing tests in athletics and rifle shooting. The certificate replaced the traditional record book («papiro matricolare») and tens of thousands of students were forced to take tests in order to obtain it. However, the government measure did not achieve the goals expected by the regime in terms of nationalizing the student masses. The paper reconstructs the history of the sports certificate from sources including the national archives (Archivio centrale dello Stato), official Pnf records and newspapers from the period, and does so by contextualizing sports policy within the more general fascist student policy and the international evolution of university sport

No full textThe Italian Olimpiadi Universitarie of 1922: At the origins of the Fascist ideology of sport
No full textUniversity sport was less developed in Italy than in other European countries in the first decades of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, in April 1922, students from the University of Rome organised a national multi-sport event, which they called the Olimpiadi Universitarie (University Olympic Games). Many eminent figures of the ruling class supported the initiative and thousands of undergraduates participated in the competitions. The Olimpiadi Universitarie also had an important international impact and facilitated the establishment of the International University Games, which were held from 1924 to 1939. The Olimpiadi Universitarie were based on a patriotic-educational concept of sport and played a significant role in spreading physical activities in Italian universities. Additionally, they promoted the idea of sport that in the following years would be accepted by the Fascist regime. The regime developed university sport enormously, but replaced the autonomous initiative of students with control from above
The Salerno Circuit and the growth of the city in the years of the economic miracle (1953-1960)
No full textIn the 1950s, the south Italian city of Salerno was recovering from the destruction of the war. The number of inhabitants was increasing and, thanks to the economic miracle, lifestyles were changing. Sport played a significant role in the social-cultural evolution and in the construction of the city’s identity. Motor racing, in particular, was a symbol of modernization and wealth. From 1953 Salerno hosted an important road race, which had a significant impact on citizens, for whom it signified the emergence of a new, more prosperous Italy to which they belonged. Though the race itself was very short-lived – it was not contested after a tragic accident in 1960 – it had achieved a particular symbolic significance for Salerno and its citizens. As such the Salerno Circuit, despite its brief history, exemplifies the strategic role that sport, in this instance motor racing, often plays in cultural politics generally and the promotion of civic identity in particular
Una deportazione durante il Ventennio fascista. Gli alti dignitari etiopi confinati a Mercogliano (1937-1940)
No full textAt the end of the 1930s, about one hundred Ethiopian citizens were confined in the town of Mercogliano (Avellino). The confined persons were members of the country’s ruling class and were part of a wider group of aristocrats deported in Italy after the attempt against Rodolfo Graziani (19 February 1937). The Ethiopians, hosted in two religious institutes, were subjected to a regime that was not too hard under the material point of view, but traumatic in psychological terms, because nearly all of them had sworn allegiance to Italy and expected to have a political role in the new colonial Ethiopia. The deportees were repatriated between the second half of 1938 and the beginning of 1940. For most of them, the experience of deportation represented a rupture in their relationship with Italy and proved to be counterproductive for the fascist regime
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Principles of adaptation of the rules for disabled athletes for an inclusion sport
No full textOne of the aims of the adapted physical activity, APA, is the sport for disabled athletes with specific rules and applied only to the specific category of disabled people who compete under the government of the International Paralympic Committee, IPC, and Special Olympics, SO. The study wants to hypothesize adaptation processes for races open also to other categories of disabled athletes and normal people throughout changes to sports facilities and rules of the sport. The method is that of qualitative research of group work with specific focus after individual elaborations of several students attending the master's degree course in the evaluation of disabled people. The phases are as follows: 1) elaboration of specific ideas for individual sports adapted by the sample of 55 master students; 2) focus groups on analysis and discussion of the problems highlighted in the individual projects; 3) synthesis of the principles and guidelines related to adaptation of race rules and sport facilities. The results shows the selected sport, its adaptation of single race rules and its sport facilities. Number 33 of sports have been hypothesized: 17 individual sports and 16 team ones. This work can create new sports, in which it can compete together athletes with different disabilities, and you can also highlight that in sport, as in life, if we overcome all barriers and limits, mental and physical, nothing is impossible. Inclusive paradigm has to be developed in sport also for the race effect
