Matilde Serao in Sweden. A Voice of "The New Italy"
No full textThis chapter examines the contemporary reception of Matilde Serao's works in Swedish newspapers from 1885 to the first years of the twentieth century. This analysis provides a historical background for understanding why Serao's masterpiece Il paese di cuccagna (1891) was translated in Swedish as early as 1892. In fact, Serao was already known to the Swedish public through the activity of C.D. af Wirsén, an important conservative critic who reviewed her original work and contributed to establishing Serao's reputation as a major contemporary author. Furthermore, examination of recently digitalized Swedish newspapers shows that Serao's short stories were published on at least twenty occasions from 1888 to 1897. These anonymous translations can be attributed with a high degree of probability to the pen of Ellen Lundberg-Nyblom, the translator of Il paese di cuccagna. Swedish reviewers greeted Serao as a master of vivid description and an insightful painter of human passions. At the same time, the fact that Serao, being a woman, was professionally active as a journalist and a newspaper editor attracted attention of Swedish media, transforming the Neapolitan author into a public figure known to a broader audience.Ce chapitre traite de la réception des œuvres de Matilde Serao dans les journaux suédois, de 1885 aux premières années du xxe siècle. Avant la traduction de son chef-d’œuvre Il paese di Cuccagna (1891) dès 1892, Serao était déjà connue en Suède grâce au critique C.D. af Wirsén, qui l’a présentée comme une autrice contemporaine de premier plan. Les traductions anonymes des nouvelles de Serao, publiées entre 1888 et 1897 et attribuées ici à Ellen Lundberg-Nyblom, ont joué un rôle tout aussi important.</p
Introduction. Imperial Times. Towards a History of Imperial Uses of Time
No full textAim of this introduction to the monographic issue 'Imperial Times. How Europe Used Time to Rule the World (XVIII-XIX Centuries)' is to throw into relief current debates demonstrating the need for greater academic research into imperial times.
The question that underlies the contributions to the special issue is how to synchronise the study of history in a postcolonial age; how to navigate history while accounting for the traditional uses of concepts like the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modernity.
This introduction critically distances the logic underpinning periodisations by challenging the uncritical use of a given interval of time as the basis of a neutral partitioning, and takes stock of how postcolonial studies and global historians have drawn attention, in recent years, to the contingent and political origins of these timeframes.
It contends that, for all the talk about a “temporal” and an “imperial turn”, time and empire still appear, at times, to be largely undertheorized in relation to each other. It highlights new conceptualisations brought to the study of temporality in relation to empire by the history of emotions, and of material cultures, put forward by the study of gendered subjectivities, and stimulated by the attention to long-term shifts favoured by novel methodology of environmental history. It takes stock of Reinhart Koselleck’s influence on these historiographical turns, and of recent re-evaluations of his work on time and concepts.
Drawing on the hypothesis that conceptions of the future are crucial to our understanding of ideas and practices of time, tradition, history, and change, this introduction also discusses our conception of the history of utopian times, and the specific ties the future has to the history of imperial conceptions and projects.
The concluding section is devoted to the methodological purpose behind the special issue: to set out four case studies to trace new pathways for the study of the imperial legacies in the making of a global history of time
Humanities in the undergraduate medical and midwifery curriculum:a descriptive Italian comparative study
No full textBACKGROUNDː There is an increasing emphasis on humanized care in obstetric and midwifery practice. The goal of
this paper is to investigate if and how medical humanities content was present in the undergraduate medical syllabus and
how similar or different this is from the undergraduate midwifery program in Italy.
METHODSː A review of the 2017-18 curriculum for Italian Schools of Medicine and of Midwifery was carried out
through institutional websites or mailing requests. The following details were collected for each program: the type of
humanities content; the academic credits allocated, whether it was taught as a stand-alone (independent) topic or not, and
the year(s) of the program when it was provided.
RESULTSː Programs were included for 39 Schools of Medicine and 36 Schools of Midwifery. All midwifery schools
included at least one subject with humanities content. Five medical schools (12.9) did not appear to have any subjects
in this area. Psychology and ethics/bioethics were the most frequently found topics in both disciplines, but, apart from
history of medicine, midwifery was much more likely than medicine to include other humanities topics, and especially
pedagogy, anthropology, sociology and communication studies, philosophy and cross-cultural studies were rarely or
never included in either discipline.
CONCLUSIONSː A greater breadth of humanities studies was included in midwifery schools. However, their relative
importance appears to be low, given the low level of academic credits and lack of presence as independent subjects.
