L'episodio extra 009. prende origine dalla registrazione della conferenza tenutasi presso il Museo Storico dell'Arma dei Carabinieri il 2 febbraio 2017, in cui si è parlato degli ufficiali dei Carabinieri Reali e del loro reclutamento e formazione, prendendo spunto dal volume pubblicato nel 2013 da Flavio Carbone con i tipi di Rubbettino Editore nella collana di Livio Antonielli intitolata Stato, esercito e controllo del territorio. Presenta e introduce il colonnello Fausto Bassetta; al suo fianco siede l'autore del volume, il tenente colonnello Flavio Carbone, all'epoca in servizio presso l'Ufficio Storico del Comando Generale dell'Arma dei Carabinieri.

"La tassazione non è altro che un puro e semplice furto, sebbene sia attuato su una scala così enormemente vasta che persino un criminale conclamato non si sognerebbe di tentare. E' un esproprio forzato delle proprietà dei cittadini, ovvero sia dei sudditi dello Stato" - Murray N. RothbardNato a New York nel 1926,Murray N. Rothbard è stato il fondatore del cosiddetto “anarco- capitalismo”. Per Rothbard, non è possibile affidare la difesa della libertà individuale a uno Stato pur “minimo”: qualsiasi forma di coercizione deve essere rigettata in toto, è inaccettabile, e inoltre non c'è davvero modo di “limitare” il potere politico, come pensavano di poter fare i fautori del costituzionalismo. Rothbard sviluppò le proprie teorie saldando assieme tradizioni diverse: la scuola austriaca dell'economia, che aveva appreso frequentando il seminario di Ludwig von Mises a New York; la cosiddetta “Old Right” statunitense, fortemente influenzata da pensatori quali Albert J. Nock e Frank Chodorov; il giusnaturalismo di matrice lockiana. Attivissimo sino alla morte prematura nel 1995, Rothbard è stato anzitutto economista ma anche filosofo politico, storico del pensiero economico, storico politico, commentatore su giornali e riviste, animatore del Partito Libertario e poi di iniziative culturali le più diverse.Protagonista:Lisa KinspergherOspite:Roberta Modugno, professoressa di Storia delle dottrine politiche all'Università Roma TREConsigli di lettura: “Murray N.

La fondazione della Scuola allievi ufficiali Carabinieri Reali si inserisce appieno nel periodo giolittiano, caratterizzato da una diversa gestione dell'ordine pubblico e da una azione politica e sociale verso una composizione dello scontro sociale tra le parti, che si era verificato soprattutto nel settentrione d'Italia industrializzato. Tale iniziativa si sviluppa attraverso i primi anni del Novecento grazie a Giovanni Giolitti e poi continua nel corso della prima Guerra Mondiale per chiudersi nel momento in cui il potere è saldamente nella mani della dittatura mussoliniana delle “leggi fascistissime” spostando la formazione dei futuri ufficiali all'interno dell'Accademia militare di Modena.

What does it mean to “upend a norm,” which is the translation of the title of Sergio Rigoletto's recent study “Upended norms: essays on gender and sexuality in Italian cinema and television.” Rigoletto focuses on Italian audiovisual texts from the mid-20th century until today, asking questions about how these media helped mark the boundaries of social norms in Italy as well as chart the threats to those boundaries made by sexually active women, foreigners, drag queens, homosexuals and other queer subjects. How these threats move from the background (Fellini's La Dolce Vita, 1960) to centerstage, in films like Ferzan Ozpetek's The Ignorant Fairies (2001) and Luca Guadagnino's Call me by Your Name (2017). What do these movements tell us about gendered subjects in Italian mainstream and popular media? What do they reveal about norms? These are some of the themes that Rigoletto's (University of Oregon) Le norme traviate studies. Ellen Nerenberg is a founding editor of g/s/i-gender/sexuality/Italy. Recent scholarly essays focus on serial television in Italy, the UK, and North America; masculinities in Italian cinema and media studies; and student filmmakers. Her current book project is La nazione Winx: coltivare la futura consumista/Winx Nation: Grooming the Future Female Consumer, a collaboration with Nicoletta Marini-Maio (forthcoming, Rubbettino Editore, 2021).

Ramsey McGlazer's Old Schools: Modernism, Education, and the Critique of Progress (Fordham University Press, 2020), traces the ways in which a group of modernist cultural practitioners (thinkers, politicians, artists, poets, novelists, and filmmakers) across varied linguistic and cultural contexts ((Italian, English, Irish, and Brazilian) resisted certain notions of education perceived as “progressive”. At the heart of this remarkable study, pulses a nexus of issues that are of interest to anyone teaching anything anywhere: What is education? How does it differ from “instruction”? What is education for? (if anything) What does it mean to ask the question “what is education for”? Who is education for? What are the stakes of that question?  Education reforms from the end of the Victorian Era until the mid-20th century sought to surpass the “sterile and narrow” forms of education that insisted on rote learning (memorization, declamation, imitation, and so forth) that did not help students of any age or grade “transform.” Resisting the ideology of “progressive” education, the figures in McGlazer’s fascinating study propose instead a “counter tradition” that sought to offer resistant strategies in “old school” pedagogies focusing on rote means, reproducing (though McGlazer will “queer” that term) ordained content. The practitioners McGlazer focuses on include figures like Walter Pater, author of the influential Studies in the History of the Renaissance, first published in 1873 and whose interest in mechanistic pedagogies anchors the first chapter. Giovanni Pascoli and his focus on grammar follows, then a chapter on “direct instruction” in James Joyce’s Ulysses. McGlazer concludes by focusing on films centering on instruction, like the pedagogy of pain in Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975) and avant-garde Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha’s film Claro (1975). McGlazer’s focus on this nucleus of texts and practitioners from the end of the 19th Century to about the middle of the 20th gives rise to questions about tradition, resistance, and the ideology of education that are evergreen and of interest to educators in a wide array of places and spaces and Old Schools will be of interest to anyone who has taught and anyone who has learned.

Siamo stati a Hong Kong, dove il verdetto di colpevolezza a carico di sette figure di spicco del movimento pandemocratico come Martin Lee e Jimmy Lai costituisce l'ennesimo mattone del muro eretto da Pechino: ne abbiamo parlato con Antonio Fiori, professore di Storia e Istituzioni dell'Asia all'Università di Bologna. Subito dopo abbiamo provato a ricostruire le origini politiche e ideologiche del jihadismo, e gli antidoti del dialogo interreligioso, con Andrea Nicastro, inviato del Corriere della Sera, autore del libro "Gli Altri Siamo Noi", Rubbettino Editore, e con Renata Pepicelli, professoressa di Storia dei paesi islamici e Islamistica all'Università di Pisa.

Gerry Milligan's Moral Combat: Women, Gender and War in Italian Renaissance Literature (University of Toronto Press, 2018) takes as its subject the woman warrior in early modern Italy as she was and as she was represented across varied types of texts, both literary and historical. What emerges is a discursive construction of the role gender played in the concept of warfare during this time period. How are women depicted in relation to warfare? Are they non-combatant innocents protected by male warriors? If this is not (only) the case, how does the representation of the woman warrior illuminate men and masculinity in the Italian Renaissance? How are gender roles rewritten, challenged, and reaffirmed in the texts under consideration? How do the figures of the virago and the woman warrior resonate with 21st century gender norms? These are some of Milligan's questions, as well as some of the topics, we consider in this podcast. Ellen Nerenberg is a founding editor of g/s/i-gender/sexuality/Italy and reviews editor of the Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies.
