IMMAGINARE GLI ITALO-AMERICANI: DALLA SCUOLA DI CHICAGO IN POI. INTRODUZIONE ALLA SEZIONE «CLASSICS»

2019

This piece introduces Chiara Mazzucchelli, Anthony Julian Tamburri, and Sabrina Vellucci’s essays on Italian-Americanness, and extracts from Irving L. Child and Harvey Warren Zorbaugh’s sociological studies on marginality and «vice» areas in the US of the early XX century. It frames these distinctive and insightful pieces within the context of identitarian, linguistic, and cultural struggles that make up the archives of Italian migrant communities in the US.In conversation with the five pieces, this introduction aims to inquire into the practices of stigmatisation and reproduction of violence by dominant epistemological and ontological frameworks travelling beyond borders.

Price Theory and US Antitrust: a Note on an Enduring Legal Doctrine

2013

Since the mid-1980s the post-Chicago approach to antitrust economics has produced a few game-theoretic models which have challenged many typical Chicago antitrust propositions. Yet, Chicago style antitrust has not yet lost its hold on u.s. antitrust. The paper suggests that the Chicago persistence within u.s. antitrust and, by the same token, the inhospitality of u.s. antitrust towards game-theoretical Industrial Organization theory owe much to the vitality of the legal doctrine according to which antitrust analysis should be consistent with traditional price theory. In particular, the paper analyzes two issues: i. the adoption of the equilibrium end-state notion of competition which is sti…

Two minds that never met: Frank H. knight on john M. keynes once again — A documentary note

2016

This note presents new archival evidence about Frank H. Knight’s views on John M. Keynes. The relevant material is composed of a series of lecture notes taken by Perham C. Nahl in Frank H. Knight’s course on Business Cycles at the University of California at Berkeley in the fall of 1936. It emerges from the notes that the methodological gap between Keynes and Knight was irreducible, which explains the harsh tone of Knight’s published review of The General Theory. Connected to this is Knight’s strenuous defense of the ‘postulates of classical political economy’ as criticized by Keynes in chapter 2 of his book, an argument that was better expounded in the classroom than in the review. However…

Jacob Viner and the Chicago monetary tradition

2009

The paper aims at assessing Jacob Viner's role in that brand of monetary thought which historians associate with the Chicago School and whose origins can be retraced in the writings and teaching of Frank Knight, Lloyd Mints, Henry Simons and Viner himself. After a brief description of the prolonged debate over the origins and nature of the so called “Chicago Monetary Tradition”, we examine Viner's analyses and policy proposals drawing particular attention to: his analysis of the Great depression; his proposals for monetary expansion and banking reform; his shift of emphasis in favour of Fiscal Policy; the evolution of its monetary framework in the early 1930's. Finally, we compare his posit…

Compensatory education: Long-term effects of early parental implication (and III: The C.P.C.)

2007

After describing the program of early compensatory education (from age 3 to 9), called Chicago Child-Parent Centers (CPC), this article collects and analyses the evaluation studies of that Program from a longitudinal perspective – Chicago Longitudinal Study (CLS)-, focusing primarily on methodological problems and afterwards on the short and, mainly, long terms effects, until the targeted subjects of the Program reached the age of 24. The studies confirm the Program has lasting educational (higher performance and educational achievements) and social (higher social adjustment) effects. Subsequently, it analyses which elements of the Program can produce these beneficial effects, which are bas…

Chicago e la tradizione dei vetri decorativi: Louis Comfort Tiffany e Frank Lloyd Wright

2012

Pensando all’arte sviluppatasi in America a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento non possono non venire in mente le figure di Louis Comfort Tiffany e Frank Lloyd Wright, due grandi protagonisti di quel tempo passati alla storia come pionieri, il primo nell’ambito delle arti decorative e il secondo nello specifico architettonico, ma ancora oggi fonte di ispirazione per designer all’avanguardia.

Muuttoliikettä, politiikkaa ja joululauluja

2011

[Ensimmäinen kappale] American Social Science History Association järjesti syksyllä 2010 vuotuisen konferenssinsa teemalla Power and Politics – valtaa ja poliittisuutta. Tapahtuma järjestettiin nyt 35:ttä kertaa. Kansainvälinen ja useita tieteenaloja kattava konferenssi koostui järjestäjien mukaan yli 230 paneelista, jotka kaikki keskittyivät Chicagon keskustassa sijaitsevan Palmer House Hilton -hotellin hulppeisiin tiloihin. Suurin osanotto oli epäilemättä Yhdysvalloista ja Euroopasta, mutta myös Aasia ja Afrikka olivat hyvin edustettuina. Lyhyt matka joululauluja raikuviin ostoskeskuksiin ja museoihin oli keskustasijainnin suuri etu. Ilmapiiri tapahtumassa oli lämmin, sen sijaan konferens…
