La Storiografia Della Nuova Italia Introduzione Alla Storia Della Storiografia Italiana

Dalle cronache alle più impegnative scritture storiche medievali, l'Italia si dimostra un laboratorio di innovazioni e riflessioni di grande spessore nel contesto europeo. La storiografia umanistica e storici come Machiavelli e Guicciardini non sorgono, quindi, come estemporanee novità, e neppure è casuale il magistero italiano nell'Europa del Rinascimento. Questo alto profilo viene in parte disperso nella 'decadenza' italiana, finché con Vico, Muratori, Giannone si riapre una nuova grande stagione. Dal Risorgimento alla Repubblica il corso della storiografia italiana si fa molteplice e differenziato, in collegamento crescente con i paralleli sviluppi europei. Nel '900 la storiografia italiana è poi sempre più ricca di voci e di esperienze, che ne fanno un documento notevole della cultura contemporanea, pur mantenendo sempre una sua originale cifra di interessi e di metodi. Un ritratto d'autore del volto cangiante della storiografia italiana. Un profilo che definisce la fisionomia e la metodologia dello scrivere di storia nel nostro paese, sottolineandone l'organico rapporto con l'insieme della vita civile e culturale.

They combine a discussion of the European and global North-South divide with an effort to retrieve alternatives to the dominant divisive uses of debt in staking out claims against someone else and as a means of social control.

Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Originally published in 1988. In the decades after 1404, traditionally maritime Venice extended its control over much of northern Italy. Citizens of Vicenza, the first city to come under Venetian rule, proclaimed their city "firstborn of Venice" and a model for the Venetian Republic's dominions on the terraferma. In Firstborn of Venice James Grubb tests commonplace attributes of the Renaissance state through a rich case study of society and politics in fifteenth-century Vicenza. Looking at relations between Venetian and local governments and at the location of power in Vicentine society, Grubb reveals the structural limitations of Venetian authority and the mechanisms by which local patricians deflected the claims of the capital. Firstborn of Venice explores issues that are political in the broadest sense: legal institutions and administrative practices, fiscal politics, the consolidation of elites, ecclesiastical management, and the contrasting governing ideologies of ruler and subjects.
