Occasionally the Remarque Institute organizes workshops on European themes of concern to a broad constituency. The purpose of these workshops is to bring together people with a common interest, from Europe as well as from New York, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. Participants hail from the worlds of politics, the arts and learning, business, and journalism, depending on the theme of the workshop, and are encouraged to contribute actively to the informal discussions; where appropriate, the Institute will publish the proceedings in a series of occasional Working Papers.

The Italian Risorgimento in European Perspective
November 15, 2012
Remarque Institute, New York University
Speakers:
Edward Berenson, History Department, New York University
Katherine Fleming, Remarque Institute, New York University
David Laven, Department of History, University of Nottingham
Silvana Patriarca, History Department, Fordham University
Lucy Riall, Department of History and Civilization, European University Institute
What was the appeal of national-patriotic discourse in nineteenth century Italy? How did the language and images of Romanticism intersect with nationalist politics? Why did a young man or woman become a patriot, join a nationalist movement and, if necessary, fight and die for the cause? These questions are at the heart of a new approach to Italian unification that is inspired by the studies of nationalism pioneered by Benedict Anderson, Eric Hobsbawm, George Mosse and others, as well as by the methodologies of the ‘new cultural history’ and gender studies, and which seeks to place Italy in a comparative, European context.
Taking Silvana Patriarca and Lucy Riall’s edited volume, The Risorgimento Revisited (Palgrave, 2012), as its starting point, this seminar will explore some of the themes raised by the book and discuss the question of writing national histories in a trans-national age.
