Welfare aziendale e alimentazione alla Dalmine; dalle origini al secondo dopoguerra
No full textIl coinvolgimento delle imprese nel settore dell’alimentazione popolare costituisce un fenomeno storico significativo ed estremamente articolato. L’articolo analizza le molteplici provvidenze alimentari varate dalla Dalmine nel quadro delle politiche di welfare aziendale, ricostruendo un caso peculiare di integrazione fra agricoltura e industria in un contesto sociale e territoriale fortemente plasmato dall’impresa. Inizialmente vengono descritte le politiche annonarie attuate sino alla fine degli anni Venti, attraverso lo snodo cruciale della Grande Guerra. Nella seconda parte si esaminano le strutture agricole e le provvidenze alimentari sviluppate dalla Società durante gli anni Trenta, in sintonia con gli orientamenti autarchici del regime fascista. In seguito, vengono analizzate le politiche implementate durante il secondo conflitto mondiale, quando la drammatica carenza di generi di consumo e le difficoltà di approvvigionamento costrinsero la Dalmine ad ampliare il proprio ruolo sociale, in maniera non dissimile rispetto ad altre grandi imprese italiane. Nell’ultima parte si osserva l’evoluzione delle provvidenze alimentari e delle strutture agricole nei primi anni del dopoguerra, entro il quadro di una ridefinizione complessiva dell’intero sistema di welfare aziendale costruito nei decenni precedenti.The involvement of industrial enterprises in the field of popular food consumption is a significant and many-sided historical phenomenon. This paper analyses various food policies implemented by the Dalmine Company from the early 1900s to the second post-war, reconstructing a peculiar case of overlapping between agriculture and industry in a company town. At first, the author describes food policies carried out by the enterprise until late 1920s, through the crucial passage of Great War. Successively, the paper examines agricultural structures and food policies developed by the Dalmine during 1930s, in accordance with the autarchical policies of fascism. In the third part, the author analyses the measures implemented during the Second World War, when dramatic food shortages and difficulties in supplying forced the company to expand its social role. Lastly, the paper describes the evolution of Dalmine’s food policies during the early post-war years, within a wider redefinition of the entire industrial welfare system developed in previous decades
Lottare per mangiar meglio. L’alimentazione degli operai tra medicina del lavoro e lotte per la salute in fabbrica
Full text linkIl contributo propone un’analisi intorno al rapporto tra alimentazione e lavoro industriale. Si tratta di una prospettiva fondata sull’ipotesi che le dinamiche e i conflitti che traggono origine dall’attività produttiva e dai rapporti di lavoro costituiscano uno dei motori principali del mutamento sociale, ma soprattutto sulla volontà di collocare programmaticamente l’indagine sul crinale tra la sfera della produzione e quella dei consumi, concepito come campo di osservazione fecondo per analizzare la storia del diritto alla salute e le dinamiche sociali, culturali e politiche ad esso correlate.
La mia esposizione si articolerà schematicamente in tre momenti: nella prima parte prenderò in esame le relazioni che intercorrono tra il processo di diffusione delle mense aziendali nelle fabbriche italiano, il dibattito medico-scientifico sulla dieta degli operai, e lo strutturarsi di pratiche e culture del consumo inedite in un’Italia in profonda trasformazione.
Successivamente procederò trattando la rilevanza – per certi versi periodizzante - delle mobilitazioni delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori a cavallo dell’Autunno caldo per lo sviluppo del fenomeno della ristorazione aziendale, analizzando il rapporto tra la domanda emergente di un servizio mensa adeguato in ambito lavorativo da un lato, e i nuovi orientamenti affermatisi in merito alla tutela del diritto alla salute e le rinnovate forme di partecipazione delle lavoratrici e dei lavoratori.
Infine – in chiusura del mio intervento – proverò a suggerire alcune linee di tendenza del dibattito medico sull’alimentazione dei lavoratori a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni Settanta, svolgendo alcune considerazioni sull’evoluzione del pasto aziendale in una società contrassegnata da modelli di consumo affluente, nel quadro più ampio di una transizione epidemiologica pienamente dispiegatasi
Striking to Eat Better !. Politics of Factory Meal in Italy, 1969-1970
Full text linkThe sequence of large strikes and social movements that flared up in industrial centers between 1969-1970, the so-called "Autunno caldo,", constitutes a crucial point in the history of Italian society during the second half of the century.
Factory workers fostered a renewal of unions' strategies, by the establishment of shop committees (the “Consigli di Fabbrica”) and the pursuing of various targets. Alongside the requests for an effective control over production methods, manpower strikes for higher wages and better working conditions, making also widespread demands for an improvement of feeding facilities at the factories.
Having a restful and nutritious lunch provided by the companies was an important feature of professional status, as well as a means of ensuring employees’ health, controlling production flow and protecting wages’ purchasing power.
Workers' action involves several issues, ranging from the establishment of factory canteens to employees’ right to determine how catering service was provided (lunch-break shifts, menus, catering companies, ecc.). In other terms, factory canteen constitutes a political arena that shape everyday factory life, as well as a terrain for exerting and enhancing workers' power within the plants.
Using various resources (archival papers, magazines, iconographic sources), our purpose is to investigate struggles over industrial catering policies, analyzing the role played by the workers and management’s response.
An original perspective that will allow us to highlight the complex interaction between practices and cultures that defines employees’ dietary habits at the workplace, a "contested terrain" with a broader social and political significance
« From Farm to Factory ». Interdependence between Agribusiness and Industrial Catering in Italy, 1960-1980
Full text linkDue to the country's impressive economic and industrial development, during 1960s and 1970s Italians experienced a momentous shift in consumption patterns and dietary regimes. In this phase, the rise of industrial catering business was driven by social and technological changes, and especially by the increasing demand of consumers, i.e. unionized factory workers.
Providing a full meal to industrial workforce – coping with production processes’ temporal and organizational constraints – represented a major chance for catering enterprises, but it would been infeasible without a simultaneous development of agribusiness in food production, processing and distribution.
Connecting production’s sphere to the arenas of consumption, the aim of the paper is to investigate the specific relations and interdependencies established between industrial catering and agribusiness during these decades. Using various sources hitherto little examined by scholars – especially mass catering handbooks and magazines – we will describe actors’ strategies and innovations to supply factory canteens with targeted foodstuff (like pre-cooked and frozen foods), analyzing the appeal and reception of these products, and presenting some case studies

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
