Una guerra, due patrie: la Little Italy di San Francisco e la prima guerra mondiale
Questa tesi vuole fare luce sugli effetti della prima guerra mondiale sulla comunità italiana di San Francisco, i quali sono stati scarsamente studiati. La principale fonte utilizzata è stata il quotidiano "L'Italia" di San Francisco. Lo sviluppo della tesi prevede innanzitutto la descrizione della nascita e dello sviluppo della "colonia" italiana fino alla prima guerra mondiale; successivamente l'analisi di alcuni momenti topici della Grande Guerra e delle ripercussioni sulla Little Italy californiana: gli ingressi in guerra di Italia e Stati Uniti e le campagne militari di Caporetto e Vittorio Veneto
The marketing of Mussolini : American magazines and Mussolini, 1922-1935
Until the Halo-Ethiopian War, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and the American press had a symbiotic relationship. Mussolini used his charisma and journalistic skills to put himself in the limelight of the American foreign press, and whether they loved him or hated him, American periodicals relished the constant flow of news and sensationalism from Rome. This analysis examines the rise of Fascism and Mussolini in Italy and his efforts to market himself to the press, especially the American press. It then reviews American magazines from 1922 until Italy\u27s invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and their varying attitudes toward II Duce. Popular and business magazines tended to favor Mussolini, whereas high-brow journals generally did not, but these trends were not universal. Regardless, American magazines thrived off of the Mussolini phenomenon, and Mussolini used that relationship to his fullest advantage
The Divo and the Duce
In the climate of isolationism, nativism, democratic expansion of civic rights, and consumerism that America experienced after the First World War, Italian-born movie star Rudolph Valentino and Italy’s dictator, Benito Mussolini, became surprisingly appealing emblems of authoritarian male power. Drawing on extensive research in the United States and Italy, Bertellini’s work shows how the political and erotic popularity of Valentino, the Divo, and Mussolini, the Duce, was not just the result of spontaneous popular enthusiasm. Instead, Bertellini argues, it also depended on the efforts of public opinion managers, including publicists, journalists, and even ambassadors. As such, the fame of the Divo and the Duce reveals both the converging publicity work undertaken in Hollywood and Washington since the Great War and the extent to which their foreignness was put to work in managing postwar anxieties about democratic governance. Beyond the democratic celebrations of the Jazz Age, this promotion of charismatic masculinity, while short-lived, inaugurated the now-familiar convergence of popular celebrity and political authority
