Together with monuments and works of art, they are the surviving traces of Fascist imagery in contemporary Italy. Protected by preservation laws as part of the national cultural patrimony, these remnants have become the focus of a politically charged public debate. In this book, scholars and curators from different disciplines critically explore the afterlives of Fascist-era artifacts. Spanning from the iconoclasm that followed the fall of the regime on July 25, 1943 to the present day, and moving from mural paintings and mosaics to buildings, decorative arts, monuments, and sculpture, the essays explore Italy's transition from Fascism to the Republic and the dynamics of postwar de-Fascisization, revealing ruptures and continuities throughout the twentieth century. Applying the notion of "difficult heritage" to the Italian context, the volume addresses issues of restoration, display, and critical preservation of artifacts in public and institutional spaces, drawing comparisons with practices in other countries including Germany and the United States.

Diese Studie untersucht die verschiedenen Formen und Ausdrucks- weisen des Gedächtnisses in Bezug auf die DDR in der deutschen Hauptstadt. Dabei werden auch deren Entwicklungen und Wechsel- verhältnisse in den Blick genommen. Die Dynamiken des öffentli- chen institutionellen Gedächtnisses werden mit individuellen Erinne- rungsstrategien verglichen, wobei zerbrechliche Mechanismen der Vergangenheitskonstruktion ans Licht kommen.
Die Studie verfolgt mit einem originellen multidisziplinären Ansatz die Stadtspuren, die musealen und medialen Repräsentationen, die historiographischen und privaten DDR-Bilder innerhalb einer Stadt, die sich in kontinuierlicher Gärung befindet. Dieses Buch ist eine Reise in das vernarbte Herz des vereinigten Berlins, das durch die Augen seiner Protagonisten betrachtet wird.

The authors classify them as alternative, subversive forms of governance performed by marginal (and often invisible) peripheral actors. The volume studies how the informal and the extra-legal unfold transnationally and, in particular, how and why they have been/are being progressively criminalized and integrated into the construction of global and local dangerhoods; how the above-mentioned phenomena are embedded into a post-liberal security order; and whether they shape new states of exception and generate moral panic whose ultimate function is regulatory, disciplinary and one of crafting practices of political ordering.

Vom ›weißen Kreuz‹ zur roten Fahne ist die 1929 erschienene Autobiographie des Rätekommunisten Max Hoelz, eine faszinierende Figur der deutschen Arbeiterbewegung. Lange sah man in ihm einen neuen Robin Hood und unwiderstehlichen Frauenheld. Dass er weit mehr als das war, zeigen diese außergewöhnlichen Memoiren.
Das Buch schildert die Lebensstationen des charismatischen Revolutionärs. Der Leser taucht in Hoelz‘ Jugendjahre ein, nimmt teil an den Kriegstraumata und seinen atemberaubenden Aktionen. Als Führer der Kampftruppen erbeutet er Geld von Banken und Industriellen, das er an hungernde Arbeiter verteilt. Jedoch werden nicht nur seine Existenz zwischen Untergrund und offener Revolte, sondern auch die acht Jahre im Zuchthaus werden offengelegt. Fesselnd beschreibt der Autor die unmenschlichen Gefängnisbedingungen, den täglichen Überlebenskampf und die Hungerstreiks.
Diese Autobiographie lässt die Atmosphäre des Proletariats in der Weimarer Zeit wieder aufleben, die den Leser erschüttert und überrascht.
Im Anhang: die Anklagerede gegen die bürgerliche Gesellschaft, gehalten vor dem Moabiter Sondergericht am 22. Juni 1921 in Berlin: die Verteidigungsrede, in der die Ankläger zu den eigentlichen Angeklagten werden.
Max Hoelz (1889-1933), Arbeiterführer und Politiker. Hoelz war Protagonist der Arbeiterräte und Agitator in den Aufständen der frühen 1920er Jahre. Berühmt waren seine Enteignungsaktionen mit der Roten Garde. Er wurde steckbrieflich gesucht und lebte im Untergrund, bis er 1921 unschuldig zu einer lebenslangen Haftstrafe verurteilt wird. Nach acht Jahren Gefängnis lässt man ihn frei dank einer groß angelegten Kampagne und dem Aufruf führender Intellektueller (unter ihnen Bertolt Brecht, Martin Buber, Albert Einstein, Otto Dix und Thomas Mann). Als eigensinniger Kommunist ist Hoelz, den die KPD-Führung zeitlebens beargwöhnte, zum Mythos geworden.

A quarter-century after the fall of the Wall the heritage of the German Democratic Republic still raises unsolved identity and political problems, which are paradigmatically reflected in the contradictions of the new Berlin. This study explores the different expressions of memory of the GDR in the capital city, their changes and reciprocal relationships. The dynamics of the public institutional memory have been compared with the individual strategies of remembering, bringing fragile mechanisms of the construction of the past to light.
Investigations, conducted with an original multidisciplinary approach, examine the urban traces, the museal and mediatic representations, the historiographical and private images of the GDR within a city, which is continuously fermenting. A journey in the cicatrized heart of the united Berlin through the eyes of its protagonists.

I nomi delle strade sono la nostra eredità culturale, ciò che decidiamo di tenere o buttare via del passato. Orientano i cittadini a livello topografi co ma soprattutto identitario, agendo in modo diffuso e inconscio. Potenti dispositivi pubblici, gli odonimi riattualizzano il passato riconosciuto come fondante di una collettività. Al contempo rappresentano un efficace termometro sociale, in grado di riflettere gli umori e le proteste dei cittadini. Fino a che punto la denominazione di una strada rivela le narrazioni storiche che guidano il presente? Chi decide che cosa conta e quali nomi ricordare? E se le piazze intorno a noi commemorano carnefici e re tiranni? Perché ci sono così poche vie dedicate a donne? Può un indirizzo salvare la vita delle persone?
Deirdre Mask, avvocatessa giramondo, ci offre un’affascinante esplorazione nelle memorie urbane, dall’antichità a oggi. Da Roma a Londra, da New York a Calcutta, da Berlino a Soweto: un intreccio di storie nascoste, basate su documenti sorprendenti, interviste e incontri bizzarri, in uno stile narrativo appassionante. Questo saggio ironico e provocatorio, eppure drammaticamente serio, esorta a riflettere sulle strutture più contraddittorie dell’ambiente che ci circonda. Allo stesso tempo indica gli spazi del possibile che si dischiudono quando iniziamo a riappropriarci dei significati delle nostre città.

Intensive June 9-16 2017, San Francisco, California
The past year has brought disappointment and fear, but also powerful visions of the possible. Last November’s presidential election reinforced the worst of the status quo and brought new levels of racism and neo-fascism to the forefront. In 2017, the repressive excesses of the new presidential administration in the US have triggered an unprecedented and widespread popular uprising, including a resurgence of interest in the potential for rebel cities and towns to overturn regressive national policies. Now is the time to boldly assert our most transformative visions for a free and liberated society, amidst the failure of neoliberalism and the threats posed by resurgent white supremacy, nationalism and misogyny.
Next June in San Francisco, the Institute for Social Ecology will offer an Intensive Seminar which will bring together activists, students, academics and community leaders for a dynamic week of exploring the struggle for a free society in theory and praxis. This two-tiered seminar will offer a full 6-day experience and a weekend-only option. The weekend will provide a focused overview of social ecology, an interdisciplinary body of ideas that examines social and ecological problems from a transformative and holistic perspective, with particular focus on essential issues in movement building today. Then over the next four days we will delve deeper into our conversations about the wide scope of social ecology’s theoretical and practical ideas, and also get out into the community for several action-tours. This course series will take place from Saturday, June 10 to Thursday, June 15th in partnership with the Anthropology and Social Change Department of the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA. The address of the location is: 1453 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103.
Format, Courses, and Schedule
Following the integrative perspective of social ecology, ISE intensives are more than the sum of their parts. Emphasizing movement from theory to praxis, we collaborate with participants to address the social and political issues that impact their activist work, academic studies, and everyday lives. The objective of this program is to offer a holistic political perspective that challenges participants to consider radical social-ecological critiques and cultivate new visions of a free society. ISE intensives consist of a combination of lectures, workshops, guest speakers and
field trips. A typical day at an intensive begins around 9 AM and lasts until about 7 or 8 PM. Guest speakers, community events, study groups, and informal hangout sessions take place in the evenings after class. We will proudly collaborate with guest speakers from organizations and communities across the Bay Area.

Schulbücher sind ein bevorzugter Schlüssel zum Verständnis des Bildes, das eine Gesellschaft von sich selbst und von ihrer eigenen Geschichte vermitteln will. Insbesondere in der Vergangenheit war die Erziehungsliteratur das wesentliche Medium der Wertevermittlung, sowie der Identitätsfestigung.
Im Rahmen des interdisziplinären in Deutschland und Pennsylvania durchgeführten Forschungsprojekts „Heimat-Transfer“, wird die Darstellung des neuen Kontinents, der Amerikaner und der deutsch-amerikanischen Beziehungen in den zwischen 1815 und 1930 in Preußen verfassten Schulbüchern vergleichend untersucht, mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die deutsche Einwanderung in die Vereinigten Staaten. Zudem werden die Amerika- und Deutschlandbilder, die in zeitgleichen deutsch-amerikanischen Schulbüchern Pennsylvanias vorhanden sind, berücksichtigt.
Erkennen will die Forschung einerseits die Werte, die den Konzepten „deutsch“/„Deutschland”, „amerikanisch“/„Amerika“ und „deutsch-amerikanisch“ unterliegen, indem zugleich die wechselseitigen Verhältnisse erkundet und chronologisch geordnet werden. Andererseits setzt sich die Untersuchung das Ziel, die verschiedenen Beschreibungs- und Vermittlungsarten der erhobenen Werte auszuloten, um zu verstehen, wie sich der Diskurs „Deutscher bzw. Deutschamerikaner zu sein“ in der Schulliteratur widerspiegelt und ändert. Beleuchtet werden auf dieser Weise die Dynamiken der Identitätskonstruktion sowie die generationenübergreifende Übertragung soziokultureller Werte in Deutschland und in den deutsch-amerikanischen Gemeinden im Verhältnis zu derer historischen Entwicklung. Einblicke können auch in die Anpassungsmechanismen und die Interaktionsräume zwischen deutscher und amerikanischer Kultur gewonnen werden.
Anhand von ausgewählten Beispielen aus den Sammlungen der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin und der Horner Memorial Library of Philadelphia werden Selbst- und Fremdbilder in preußischen und deutsch-amerikanischen Geschichte- und Erdkunde-Schulbüchern, Reimsammlungen und Lehrbüchern aufgezeigt und gegenübergestellt.

This multiprospective exploration is composed of three movements: ideas, practices, and symbols. The first part considers the concepts of utopianism, from its origins and developments in literature, to the principles recurring in ideal worlds. The second part concerns the practices of the utopian, from historical incarnations to current examples of effective realizations – including some “minimalist” daily practices – based on ethnographic experiences in intentional communities, autonomos regions and informal settlements. The third part examines the symbols of the conquest of the utopian. The occupations of forests in different geographical areas (including the Hambacher Forst) introduce scenarios opened by the recent mobilizations against the climate crisis. The interrelationship between ideas, practices, and symbols are the subject of theoretical reflections, which come from classical literature to the latest contributions on communitarianism and grassroot movements.

Alain Badiou, "Trump o del fascismo democratico", Meltemi, 2018
Come spiegare il trionfo elettorale di Donald Trump? Quali forme di soggettività sono necessarie per costruire una resistenza? Quali azioni politiche possono contrastare la crisi delle democrazie occidentali di cui Trump è divenuto simbolo?
Questo pamphlet, tagliente e più attuale che mai, raccoglie le impietose considerazioni politiche sul mondo che ha reso possibile la vittoria di un “fascista democratico”. Badiou esamina a caldo, pur con straordinaria lucidità critica, i motivi di questo successo, ma si spinge oltre e presenta alternative percorribili, inedite forme di resistenza politica. La crisi della democrazia occidentale comporta molti pericoli, ma offre anche la possibilità di un nuovo orientamento, la nascita di un coinvolgimento politico e civile che vada oltre ciò che conosciamo.
Dopo il trauma della vittoria di Trump, un risveglio politico in Occidente è forse ancora possibile.
Alain BADIOU, scrittore, filosofo, professore emerito all’École normale supérieure di Parigi, è fra i massimi intellettuali viventi. Fra le sue opere principali: L’essere e l’evento (1988) e Logiques des mondes (2006). Le pubblicazioni italiane più recenti includono: Alla ricerca del reale perduto (2016); Metafisica della felicità reale (2015); Elogio dell’amore (2013); L’avventura della filosofia francese (2013).
