Abstract

Abruzzo is at a tipping point: despite economic, cultural and natural strengths, the region is facing declining economic growth, ageing population and a reduction in outside economic aid. The devastating earthquake that hit the regional capital L’Aquila and its surroundings on 6 April 2009 caused 309 deaths and was a significant economic shock, jeopardizing the long-term growth prospects of an already vulnerable region. To increase its resilience to current and future shocks, Abruzzo must encourage innovation-driven growth, based on knowledge and better use of skills, and redesign the city of L’Aquila through technological upgrade to make it more attractive to outsiders and improve the quality of life of its residents. The report suggests that Abruzzo should focus on endogenous resources to build its long-term development strategy and, at the same time, to increase the external openness of the regional system to attract more entrepreneurs, students, foreigners and external capital. The economic development and quality of societal life in Abruzzo will strongly depend on how private and public actors will make the best use of existing knowledge, strengthening the cultural and economic networks as a major tool for growth; as well as promoting information sharing, transparency, accountability and community engagement to improve decision making. More broadly, the issues raised in the report can help other governments to rethink regional policy, for both regions vulnerable to natural disasters and for those facing long-term decline. As such, eight guiding recommendations for building resilient regions after a disaster are drawn. These guiding recommendations can provide a framework for policy making in other OECD regions.

Abstract

Questo volume è l'ultimo della lunga serie di scritti di Dennis E. Rhodes (1923-2020), decano degli studi di bibliografia italiana in Gran Bretagna. L'opera si inserisce nella tradizione italiana degli annali tipografici. La presente opera traccia la produzione tipografica di alcune città dell'Abruzzo, delle Marche e dell'Umbria, dall'introduzione della stampa a tutto il Seicento: Ascoli Piceno, Camerino, Campli, Chieti, Fermo, Jesi, Montalto Marche, Spoleto, Teramo. Una lista di 501 schede redatte secondo le regole della bibliografia descrittiva. Non poche sono le edizioni uniche rintracciate, alcune non reperibili in Italia. Un altro importante contributo alla ricca storia della tipografia e editoria italiana dell'inizio dell'età moderna, concernente centri ancora relativamente poco esplorati.

Abstract

An immigrant daughter who returned to her mother's home town, Giovanna Del Negro spent a year doing intensive fieldwork in the homes and public spaces of Sasso. She reveals the diverse reactions that Sassani have to industrialization, changing gender roles, immigration, and the proliferation of the global media. Unlike accounts that focus exclusively on large-scale social forces or universal theories of historical change, this study, set against the backdrop of Italy's mid-1990s corruption scandals, centres on the experiences of ordinary people and the culturally specific ways that modernity reveals itself in a particular place. Del Negro focuses on the passeggiata, and her evocative descriptions of dressing, walking, courting, and socializing in the piazza paint a vivid picture of this event. Sassani pride themselves on their urbane sophistication, only half jokingly referring to their town as "our little Paris." Del Negro shows how different segments of Sassani society (older women and teenage girls, motorbike boys and established professionals) use passeggiata performances to depict themselves as modern, stake their place in the town's collective self-image, and debate the meaning of modernity. Examining everything from Sassani interpretations of tabloid television and soap operas to community games and postcards, Del Negro casts her net wide to illuminate the local culture. Richly sophisticated yet highly accessible, this innovative study speaks to contemporary debates about modernity and globalization.

Abstract

Prenant place dans une étude plus large sur le fonctionnement du marché foncier durant le haut Moyen Âge et la formation des prix et leur évolution sur le long terme (850-1050), La fortune de Karol se concentre sur l’étude des relations personnelles dans lesquelles s’inscrivent la vente ou l’achat, et vers la compréhension des différents cadres sociaux des transactions effectuées. L’essentiel de ce livre se construit autour d’un dossier à tous égards exceptionnel, peut-être même unique, celui des affaires de Karol fils de Liutprand. Il s’agit d’un personnage qui a vécu dans les Abruzzes entre 840 et 870 environ et qui a laissé une trace documentaire importante. Le dossier le concernant directement ou indirectement comporte une centaine d’actes de ventes, d’échanges, de notices de plaids qui éclairent non seulement la vie et la carrière de ce personnage, mais aussi les communautés à l’intérieur desquelles lui-même et ses descendants ont vécu. En portant l’attention sur cet homme, sur ses parents, ses voisins et amis, on a pu reconstruire les réseaux d’un petit notable et le monde dans lequel évoluent Karol et les membres de sa famille que l’on suit sur quatre générations. Le triple point de vue de l’historien, de l’économiste et du sociologue permet de retrouver le sens des stratégies foncières et familiales de Karol et d’éclairer la rationalité de ses actions. Karol a cherché à s’élever et à enrichir sa lignée en se servant de ses capacités économiques, de ses réseaux et de ses alliances. Il a échoué. C’est grâce à son échec et à l’intégration des maisonnées de ses enfants dans la dépendance de l’abbaye de Casauria que ses archives nous ont été transmises : une vie réussie ne laisse pas de traces dans ce contexte. Le dossier nous informe, finalement, sur les processus de mobilité sociale et leurs limites dans le monde carolingien à un échelon très peu éclairé par la documentation comme par l’historiographie, celui de la notabilité rurale.
