Gli Inglesi in Cina. Harriet Martineau tra tradizione e innovazione
2012
La ristampa di The English in China. A Tale by Harriet Martineau (1832), qui per la prima volta anche in traduzione italiana, permette di approfondire il significato che la short story assume, fin dai primi decenni del secolo, di agente di trasformazione culturale in virtù della relazione privilegiata che il racconto stabilisce con il periodico che ne accoglie i significati, il Tait’s Edinburgh Review. Legato ancora parzialmente agli stilemi propri del novel, ma proiettato verso quei paradigmi tematici e formali che caratterizzeranno il racconto di fine secolo , Gli Inglesi in Cina. Un racconto di Harriet Martineau in-forma il lettore sia sul progetto di smantellamento del vecchio ordine ec…
¿Las Naciones Unidas no son nada? Pablo de Azcárate y el fracaso de la ONU en Palestina (1947-1952)
2016
El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es analizar la labor de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en Palestina-Israel entre 1947 y 1952 a través del diplomático español Pablo de Azcárate. Los tres actores o problemáticas fundamentales que convergen en esta investigación histórica son Pablo de Azcárate, la ONU y el enfrentamiento colonial sionista-palestino. La cuestión de Palestina, que estuvo y sigue estando en el centro de la agenda política internacional, fue el primer gran problema que la institución afrontó en toda su amplitud y complejidad. Las dos primeras sesiones extraordinarias de la Asamblea General de la ONU estuvieron dedicadas íntegramente a este territorio, al que se dedicó e…
Il Consiglio coloniale e il Consiglio speciale nella Guyana francese: tra emancipazione e discriminazione (1840-1842)
2020
On 24 April 1833, Louis Philippe of Orléans signed the law replacing the General Councils with the Colonial Councils. By a circular dated 18 July 1840 from the Minister of the Navy and the Colonies, Special Councils were also established in the four French coloniesin orderto provide documents and opinions on the abolition of slavery. This paper analyses French Guiana, starting from the different composition of the two Councils and, then, from the different interestsrepresented therein. The aim is to reconstruct the debate on slavery conducted between 1840 and 1842 in the two Councils, and, consequently, to highlight and compare the proposalsforsocial and institutional changes they contextua…

The local appropriation of democracy: an analysis of the municipal elections in Parakou, Republic of Benin, 2002–03
2006
Ever since the ‘democratic renewal’ of 1989–90, Benin has been regarded as a model democracy in the African context. The holding of local elections in 2002–03 can be seen as the culmination of this turn to democracy. Donors attach high expectations to decentralisation and local democracy. Based on an empirical analysis of municipal elections in Parakou, the country's third-largest city, the paper tries to gauge whether these expectations have been realised. The paper argues that while multi-party democracy has been instituted under considerable pressure from the outside, the particular form it has taken derives instead from rationales of national and local politics which go back to the late…

Let Me in! The Affirmation of a Radical “Other”
2021
In the preceding chapters, we carefully revised the history of colonial expeditions, the intersection of the native “Other” with science, and the evolution of leisure travels and the consolidation of the tourism industry. We make the point that after the terrorist attacks in 2001 in the US, Western civilization entered a state of crisis which gradually tended to demonize the non-Western “Other”. These chapters acted as conceptual platforms that guided readers to understand the role played by hospitality in the configuration of the modern nation-state. Although illustrative to some extent, these chapters lacked an empirical approach. This chapter, complementarily, keeps an empirically based …
