The British Press Responds to the Liberation of the Concentration Camps
2011
Following the liberation of Western concentration camps, especially Buchenwald (11 April) and Bergen-Belsen (15 April), newspapers in Europe reported a story of cruelty that seemed to surpass every other atrocity story they had told before. This chapter will examine how the liberation news was published in the mainstream British papers. It is now well known that the liberation of the camps hardly helped the British public to comprehend the true nature of the Nazi genocide.1 However, what concerns us here is to go beyond the argument according to which the dominant liberal discourse in Britain was principally responsible for influencing British understanding of the Holocaust. Instead, this c…
El liberalismo por dentro : (diálogos)
Augustin Cochin e il Correspondant. Scritti sulla "Questione italiana " (1860-1862)
2012
Le vicende editoriali della rivista liberale d’ispirazione cattolica «Correspon- dant» sono profondamente connesse con la vita, le esperienze politiche e gli ideali di Charles de Montalembert (1810-1870), animatore e artefice della nuova serie del periodico, uscita nel 1855, e che vide, tra gli altri, la fattiva e generosa collaborazione di Augustin Cochin (1823-1872), noto a Parigi per le sue opere di carità, orfanotrofi, ospizi, per il suo impegno a favore del cooperativismo e del mutuo soccorso operaio. Sfogliare la rivista, leggere gli articoli che il comitato di redazione aveva sollecitato o avallato per la pubblicazione, significa ripercorrere le tappe del liberalismo cattolico france…
Liberalismo y reforma agraria en los orígenes de la España contemporánea
2000
El autor aborda, a partir tanto de sus propias investigaciones empíricas como del conocimiento exhaustivo de la bibliografía especializada, el polémico tema de cómo afectó a las distintas clases sociales el proceso de transfor-maciones agrarias que acontecieron en España en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, realizando un detallado análisis de los puntos de partida y de los resultados finales de tan crucial transformación, que no afectó en exclusiva al campo económico, sino que trastocó, también, las relaciones de clase que hasta entonces habían prevalecido en España.
Retratos de familia (nacional): discursos de género y de nación en las culturas liberales españolas de la primera mitad del siglo XIX
2011
El artículo analiza algunas de las formas en las que género y nación se entrelazaron en los discursos liberales de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Utiliza especialmente materiales artísticos y literarios que, como se ha demostrado en los últimos años, son particularmente apropiados para conocer cómo se imaginaban tanto la nación como la feminidad y la masculinidad. La importancia de la producción artística resulta evidente en lo que respecta al primer apartado que se trata, el de la representación simbólica de la nación española. Por su parte, la literatura nos permite aproximarnos mejor que ninguna otra fuente histórica a cómo era la nación de los liberales, a cómo la entendían y la imagin…

‘Full power despite stress’: A discourse analytical examination of the interconnectedness of postfeminism and neoliberalism in the domain of work in …
2013
Stories and images of successful career women and support for women’s advancement in working life have become hallmarks of contemporary postfeminist media culture, and especially of women’s magazines such as Cosmopolitan. While in previous research these features have been seen as signs for a new, popular feminism, more recently they have also been connected to the growing hegemony of neoliberal governance, a mode of power that ultimately aims at the economization of the social and is fundamentally exercised in and through discourse. The aim of this article is to investigate further the interconnectedness of these two phenomena, postfeminism and neoliberalism, in the domain of work, using …
Language, (em)power(ment) and affective capitalism : the case of an entrepreneurship workshop for refugees in Germany
2022
Abstract This paper seeks to advance research on the nexus of language, work-related training and affective capitalism by focusing on an entrepreneurship workshop organized for newly arrived refugees in Germany. Despite the occupational orientation, the primary objective of the workshop was not establishing a business but “empowering” the participants by guiding them to adopt “an entrepreneurial mindset”. To delve deeper into this ‘will to empower’, the study brings together the perspectives of governmentality studies, ethnography, discourse studies and affect studies. To investigate in more detail the evocation of the ‘entrepreneurial mindset’, the study draws on ethnographic data collecte…
The secrets of men since born: Il Machiavelli di Lord Acton
2011
Lord Acton was one of the most eminent intellectuals of the Victorian age. His political thought aimed at reconciling his Catholic faith with liberal prin-ciples. Although he has never written a book, his essays expressed an histo-riography that has exerted great influence in the study of history, the most known example of which is the Cambridge Modern History, conceived by Lord Acton himself. This article aims at showing that his interpretation of Ma-chiavelli, expressed in the introduction to the famous edition of the Prince edited by Arthur Burd, is a precious testimony of the widespread circulation of Machiavellian thought in Europe.
