Acting Out:Cuban Artists Challenge to the State
No full textFive of the videos in Coco Fusco’s exhibition Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island at KW were filmed in Cuba, where the artist has collaborated with local artists on a range of projects for over thirty years. The videos explore the fraught relationship between civic engagement and the Cuban state. Coco Fusco will be joined by Cuban artist and former political prisoner Hamlet Lavastida, and Cuban poet and essayist Antonio José Ponte for a discussion about Fusco’s work and the current state of artistic activism in relation to cultural politics in Cuba today.

He explores the visualization of state ideology in his videos, collages, drawings, and public art. Lavastida’s work has been shown at Documenta 15 (Kassel, Germany); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid); Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin); Center of Contemporary Art Łaźnia (Gdańsk) and Center of Contemporary Art, Zamek Ujazdowski (Warsaw).

Die Videos thematisieren das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen zivilem Engagement und dem kubanischen Staat. Mit Coco Fusco diskutieren der kubanische Künstler und ehemalige politische Gefangene Hamlet Lavastida und der kubanische Dichter und Essayist Antonio José Ponte über ihr Werk und den aktuellen Stand des künstlerischen Aktivismus in Bezug auf die Kulturpolitik in Kuba heute. Hamlet Lavastida ist ein kubanischer Künstler, der in Berlin wohnt. Er studierte Malerei an der Akademie der Künste San Alejandro und der Universität der Künste (ISA) in Havanna. Lavastida interpretiert die Rolle der politischen Rhetorik und Ikonographie in der öffentlichen Kultur Kubas neu. Er konzentriert sich auf die Art und Weise, wie die kubanische Propaganda die Geschichte prägt und verzerrt. Anhand seiner Videos, Collagen, Zeichnungen und seiner Kunst im öffentlichen Raum erforscht er die Visualisierung staatlicher Ideologie. Lavastidas Arbeiten wurden auf der Documenta 15 (Kassel, Deutschland) gezeigt, im Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), im Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), im Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst Łaźnia (Danzig) und im Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Zamek Ujazdowski (Warschau).

Il poliziotto di un regime totalitario. Vita e carriera di Giuseppe Gueli
No full textThe aim of this essay is to retrace Giuseppe Gueli’s life and career: a police offi cer (member of the P.S., the Italian public safety), who had formed during the last years of the liberal period, and who went through Italian Fascism and its development into a totalitarian regime. Beginning his career alongside Cesare Mori, Gueli fi lled in fact relevant positions within the Italian police as it had been organized by Arturo Bocchini: at fi rst in Alto Adige (South Tyrol) to set up the awkward system of the border police, in the Thirties Gueli moved to Sicily where he led a second repression campaign against the mafi a and fi nally, during the Forties, he became chief of the Special Inspectorate of Public Safety for the Venezia Giulia, established to fi ght against the anti-fascist forces, especially against the Slovene and Croatian partisans. Held responsible for all kinds of violence, the Inspectorate became part of the Triestine SS after September 1943, and Gueli underwent a trial in which he was condemned for collaborationism
POLIZIE SPECIALI. DAL FASCISMO ALLA REPUBBLICA
No full textIl libro ricostruisce le vicende dei corpi speciali di polizia che operarono in Italia tra la prima guerra mondiale, il ventennio fascista e la prima età repubblicana. Si tratta di una fase cruciale per la formazione e il consolidamento di strutture di questo genere. Infatti la partecipazione dell’Italia alla grande guerra determinò esigenze nuove, segnando una netta cesura con il passato: nacquero in quel momento organismi centralizzati, dall’ampia sfera di intervento e che adottavano modalità di azione basate sulla centralità del sistema informativo. L’evoluzione proseguì durante il fascismo, quando il modello fu perfezionato per analogia con strutture di indagine politica come l’Ovra. Tali organismi furono utilizzati prima nel contrasto alla mafia e al banditismo sardo, e poi nella feroce repressione della resistenza slovena in Venezia Giulia durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Alla caduta del fascismo, in un complesso intreccio tra continuità e rotture, il modello transitò poi alla prima età repubblicana, dove venne utilizzato di nuovo in Sicilia per fare fronte alla rinnovata emergenza del banditismo. Il filo conduttore della narrazione è costituito dalle travagliate carriere dei funzionari di polizia che di volta in volta furono chiamati alla direzione di questi organismi – il più noto dei quali è Cesare Mori, il “prefetto di ferro” – che tra utopie d’ordine e ambizioni personali formarono un ristretto gruppo di specialisti del settore

Crowdsourcing to co-design meaningful social change
No full textOld Town Bari is the center of Bari City and the main city of Apulia region, in the southeast of Italy. For ages, it was a place neglected to its own community due to the high criminality level. This study follows a social innovation initiative launched by a young Bari collective to leverage education using crowdsourcing knowledge, in order to better understand how to develop crowdsourcing for effective social innovation.
To address this research question, the author conducted action research on a 12 days workshop, organized by the collective, in the Old Town of Bari. The workshop aimed to create a School Open Source with the help of the crowd, which was engaged on promoting and co-creating the social initiative. Furthermore the researcher collected and analyzed the online discussions, paths and topics from the days of the workshop to the opening of the School.
The study reveals how crowdsourcing acted as an opportunity to build a new community which revitalized the local social environment. The author also found that design processes played a major role on the community creation and instructed new governance models. Additionally, digital communications built a network, which is able to generate and regenerate the local socio-economical fabric and connect it with the rest of the world. These results indicate a first step towards a proposal for an open innovation model for social innovation which combines online crowd engagement with offline activities and where design processes nurture the sense of belonging between community and territory
