In occasione del trentennale delle uccisioni di Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino e del quarantennale di quella di Pio La Torre, la Fondazione Gramsci Emilia-Romagna e Libera promuovono il dialogo Narrare la mafia. Problemi di storia, questioni di memoria nel quale verranno indagati, con prospettiva interdisciplinare, i processi culturali, con particolare attenzione a quelli storiografici e memorialistici, che intessono la narrazione del fenomeno mafioso e la costruzione di una coscienza critica condivisa della legalità.

As we approach the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we are seeking papers to create a special issue journal to cover topics relating to Civil Rights of the early 1960s for our Fall 2024 edition. How did civil rights flourish in not only the United States, but other nations? How have we expanded our understanding of the international implications of the Civil Rights Movement?

Political and media rhetoric in Europe and North America tends to reduce the category of intermediaries in migratory movements to that of “smugglers or traffickers, inevitably described as greedy and unscrupulous” (Dubet, 2018). This figure, described as evil, remains relatively vague and reductive.

This international workshop aims to engage with the history of nonviolence in Europe in the second half of the 20th century. In diverse social and political spheres, different forms of violence have been delegitimised, and nonviolence has become a guiding principle. Has there been a paradigm shift regarding ideals of nonviolence in politics, social relations, and public discourse in Europe?
