Moralising Poverty

The ‘Undeserving’ Poor in the Public Gaze

By: Serena Romano

Do we judge the poor? Do we fear them? Do we have a moral obligation to help those in need? The moral and social grounds of solidarity and deservedness in relation to aid for poor people are rarely steady. This is particularly true under contemporary austerity reforms, where current debates question exactly who is most ‘deserving’ of protection in times of crisis. These arguments have accompanied a rise in the production of negative and punitive sentiments towards the poor. This book breaks new ground in the discussion of the moral dimension of poverty and its implications for the treatment of the poor in mature welfare states, drawing upon the diverse political, social and symbolic constructions of deservedness and otherness. It takes a new look at the issue of poverty from the perspective of public policy, media and public opinion. It also examines, in a topical manner, the various ways in which certain factions contribute to the production of stereotyped representations of poverty and to the construction of boundaries between ‘insiders’ and ‘outsiders’ in our society. Case studies from the UK and Italy are used to examine these issues, and to understand the impact that a moralising of poverty has on the everyday experiences of the poor. This is valuable reading for students and researchers interested in contemporary social work, social policy and welfare systems.

A Companion to Vittoria Colonna

By: Abigail Brundin,Tatiana Crivelli,Maria Serena Sapegno

Vittoria Colonna (1490-1547) was the genre-defining secular woman writer of Renaissance Italy, whose literary model helped to establish a decorous and wholly assimilated voice for women within the field of Italian literature. The Companion to Vittoria Colonna brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of leading scholars to assess Colonna’s contribution, both as a writer, a role model, and a contributor to important religious debates of the era. This book, while amply fulfilling the remit of providing a useful and comprehensive handbook to meet the needs of students and scholars at earlier and advanced levels, aims in addition to do more than this, by drawing into a single volume for the first time scholarship from across disciplines in which Vittoria Colonna’s influence has been felt, including literary criticism, religious history, history of art and music. Contributors are: Abigail Brundin, Stephen Bowd, Emidio Campi, Eleonora Carinci, Adriana Chemello, Virginia Cox, Tatiana Crivelli, Maria Forcellino, Gaudenz Freuler, Anne Piéjus, Diana Robin, Helena Sanson, and Maria Serena Sapegno.

Cliccare Obbedire Combattere

L'Italia di Grillo e del M5S

By: Serena Bianchi

Può il M5S realisticamente aspirare al 100% dei voti alle prossime elezioni, superando in questo modo il record attuale che si attesta al 99, 84% e resiste dal 1934? Si può sostenere che colui che "al tempo della rete si presenta come leader andrebbe sottoposto a trattamento sanitario obbligatorio” e poi autonominarsi ufficialmente capo di una forza politica? Il Sole 24ore sostiene che il blog frutti almeno cinque milioni annui. Sarà la volta buona per dimostrare che si può guadagnare con la politica senza rubare? Si troverà un accordo tra coloro le cui entrate aumentano nonostante la loro volontà di decrescita felice, e la maggior parte delle persone, le cui entrate invece diminuiscono a dispetto del loro desiderio di un po’ di crescita felice? Con il marchio registrato l’eredità politica diventerà eredità tout court? Tra i tanti vantaggi offerti dalla rete possiamo includervi quello di guidare un partito da casa senza passare da assenteista? A proposito della democrazia diretta, sono gli italiani pronti a diventare stato quando ancora faticano a diventare condominio? Se tu fai parte di un partito padronale dici quello che vuole il padrone, se fai parte del PD dici tutto e il contrario di tutto, ma che succede se fai parte del partito dell’ego? Si può certificare l’onestà? E quanto dura tale certificazione? Va rinnovata periodicamente? E sarà sufficiente l’onestà o ci vorrà pure la competenza? Basterà che il cuoco non rubi per mandare avanti il ristorante, oppure dovrà anche saper cucinare? Il non-statuto si distingue da un comune statuto perché eterno e immutabile? Innumerevoli misteri aleggiano nell’universo 5S. Questo libro indaga e prova a fare un po’ di luce.

The Theatre Couple in Early Modern Italy

Self-Fashioning and Mutual Marketing

By: Serena Laiena

Who were the first celebrity couples? How was their success forged? Which forces influenced their self-fashioning and marketing strategies? These questions are at the core of this study, which looks at the birth of a phenomenon, that of the couple in show business, with a focus on the promotional strategies devised by two professional performers: Giovan Battista Andreini (1576–1654) and Virginia Ramponi (1583–ca.1631). This book examines their artistic path – a deliberately crafted and mutually beneficial joint career – and links it to the historical, social, and cultural context of post-Tridentine Italy. Rooted in a broad research field, encompassing theatre history, Italian studies, celebrity studies, gender studies, and performance studies, The Theatre Couple in Early Modern Italy revises the conventional view of the Italian diva, investigates the deployment of Catholic devotion as a marketing tool, and argues for the importance of the couple system in the history of Commedia dell’Arte, a system that continues to shape celebrity today.
