Italy in the Seventies. Movements, political violence
and armed struggle between memory
and historiographical representation
The essay presents a critical appraisal of historiographical
representation during the Seventies and the «movement
period» in Italy, while attempting to pinpoint new investigative
trails and new methodological approaches that might
analyse the genesis and the transformation of the movements
and opposition cultures in depth from a cultural and
a social perspective, with particular emphasis being placed
on the issue of political violence.
