Narrations produced by Italian Imperialism: Representation of eastern Adriatic during the Fascist period ( 910-1943)

该项目着眼于亚得里亚海东部在法西斯政权之前和期间被建构的方式。它旨在展示法西斯主义在意大利扩张主义历史上的特殊性。它的目的是加强我们对法西斯帝国主义的认识，把重点放在一个对其发展至关重要的地区。它旨在进一步加深我们对文化表征在20世纪帝国项目发展中所发挥作用的理解。研究将集中于殖民地期刊、有关出版物和档案材料。本文的方法论是基于对话语构形运作的探究，借鉴了福柯、赛义德的作品，以及对欧洲东方主义的广泛的理论角度研究。

The project looks at the ways in which the eastern Adriatic was constructed discursively immediately prior to and during the Fascist regime.It aims to show the specificity of the Fascist ventennio in the history of Italian expansionism. It aims to enhance our knoweldge of Fascist imperialism by focusing on a region which was fundamental for its development. It aims to further our understanding of the role that cultural representations fulfilled in the development of an imperial project that lies at the heart of the 20th century. The research will focus on colonial periodicals, relevant publications and archival material.The methodology of the thesis is based on the inquiry into the operation of discursive formations, drawing on the work of Focault, Said and an extensive body of theoretically angled research on Euro-Orientalism.
