*La Violenza Illustrata:
The Rhetoric and Representation of Political Violence
in Italy from 1968 to the Present Day*

Cambridge, 19-20 Novembe
CRASSH, 17 Mill Lane, CB2 1RX

The aim of this conference is to offer an
interdisciplinary overview of representations of
political violence and of the terrorisms of right
and left in Italy from 1968 to the present day.
It will consider literature, cinema, historiography,
juridical discourse, and new media, as well as begin
to offer a comparative analysis of the Italian
experience in a wider European context.The date of
1968 has been chosen as a starting point because the
political and cultural upheavals of that year in Italy
were, as John Foot writes, "quite easily the most
radical, interesting, and, in the end, violent of
Europe's 68s". The historical and political aspects
of the period since 1968 have been intensively
discussed elsewhere but this conference will consider
specifically the representational production of
post-1968 Italy in the context of the violence of
the period and the attempts to deal with its legacies.
The conference will open with an outline of the social
and historical context, and a discussion of questions
of definition and the validity of political violence,
before moving on to offer a range of thematic papers
and case studies. These studies and surveys are
intended to build a picture of how the various forms
of official and unofficial rhetoric and representation
have been shaped by political violence but have also
in turn informed understanding of political violence
in Italy since 1968. Contributions will be in English
and Italian.
