La storia degli ebrei nell'Italia contemporanea è stata molto discussa dalla recente storiografia. In questa nota si prendono in esame quattro libri pubblicati tra il 2018 e il 2020 che affrontano il tema da prospettive differenti come il ruolo politico degli ebrei nell'Italia liberale e negli anni della grande guerra, la storia delle persecuzioni in età fascista, il problematico avvento della Repubblica, la raffigurazione degli ebrei e di Israele nelle sinistre italiane e la più generale percezione di Israele nel mondo politico e culturale italiano.

Un Medioevo «globale»? A proposito della Storia mondiale dell’Italia
2018
Medieval studies often deal with transnational history, although this trend is not recognized by the scholars who defined the features of the “World history”, being this usually related with “modernity”. Middle Ages are the times of widespread phenomena like the making of the Western Christendom, the circulation of noble and merchant elites, the building of supranational monarchies. The essays that deal with medieval subjects included in the volume Storia mondiale dell’Italia partially reflect these leanings, showing the issues of the historical question of an Italian unitary identity.

2019
Przypadająca w 2018 roku 90. rocznica śmierci ks. Johannesa Chrząszcza jest dobrą okazją, aby przybliżyć szerszemu gronu czytelniczemu sylwetkę tegoż górnośląskiego kapłana. Ks. Piotr Górecki w swoim artykule przybliża nie tylko sylwetkę ks. J.

Źródłem badawczym stały się pozostawione przez ks. J. Chrząszcza zapiski kronikarskie, jakie zamieścił w książce o dzie…
Sharing media content in social media: The challenges and opportunities of user-distributed content (UDC)
2017
The article explores the distribution of mass media content by the online audience that connects by using the different social platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. The focus is on the new and developing concept of user-distributed content (UDC). From the viewpoint of media organisations, UDC is a process by which the mass media converge with online social networks through the intentional use of social media services and platforms in an effort to expand the distribution of media content. UDC does not have a long trajectory as a study object in media studies. The study suggests that practices related to UDC can be more strongly incorporated into management and journalism in main…
"Jest typem dość sympatycznym". Józef Retinger i wywiad cywilny PRL
2020
Józef Retinger is one of the most colourful, and at the same time puzzling, figures in the recent history of Poland. During the Second World War, he was a political advisor and grey eminence to the head of the Polish government, General Władysław Sikorski, and after the war he remained in exile. He was very active in promoting European unity. He founded the politically influential Bilderberg Group. He was suspected of being a British intelligence agent. He was also accused of working for the secret services of several other states, and of being a freemason. In the second half of the 1950s, the ntelligence service of the PRL took an interest in Retinger. This is a little-known episode in Ret…
Germany, Russia and the polish cause in Jędrzej Giertych's Articles in the Parisian monthly "Horyzonty" (1956–1971)
2018
The liberalisation of the communist system in the mid-1950s, disillusionment with the policy of the West, fears connected with West German revisionism, and dwindling chances of change in the situation of Central and Eastern Europe contributed to diverse attitudes among Polish emigrants. Some of them, notably among the nationalists, voiced the need to seek compromise with Russia. This led to the emergence of a pro-Russian faction alongside the still dominant pro-Western one. The thesis of the need for an alliance with Russia was propagated by Jędrzej Giertych in his writing in the Paris-based monthly Horyzonty. This ideologically committed opponent of communism and staunch Catholic was at th…
