The Plight of Women: The Politics of the Memory of Resistance in Italy and France

在1940年至1945年期间，纳粹控制下的大多数欧洲国家都出现了抵抗运动，人们起来反抗德国侵略者。战争结束后，这些经历往往被国家吸收，并被塑造和构建为新国家的基础神话。抵抗运动是一场由男人和女人共同发起的运动;然而，在意大利和法国，最奇特的例子发生了：战后，当必须颁发勋章时，大多数是男人获得的。该项目旨在解释和洞察妇女在抵抗中的作用的记忆是如何在战后时期形成的：从战后史学对这个问题的认识开始，学生将探索几十年来这种观点是如何改变的，现在对妇女的经历更加全面。然而，关于纪念抵抗运动的进程的问题仍然没有答案，在这个项目中，学生将探讨历史学辩论如何帮助妇女重新融入国家历史的这一重要篇章;将贡献与意大利和法国历史有关的案例研究，这将成为他们解释多样性和包容性的典范;将分析关键的文献证据（在电视和广播和议会辩论的形式），详细介绍了法国和意大利抵抗运动中的关键历史人物的旅程。

Between 1940 and 1945, most of European countries under Nazi control saw the birth of a Resistance movement, where people rose up and fought against the German invader. Immediately after the war, these experiences were often taken by the State and shaped and constructed to be used as a foundational myth for the new country. The Resistance was a movement made by both men and women; yet, in Italy and France, the most peculiar instance happened: after the war, when medals had to be awarded, it was mostly men who received them. This project aims to explain and give insights into how the memory of the role of women in the resistance has been shaped in the post-war period: starting from the acknowledgment of this issue in postwar historiography, the student will explore how through the decades this view changed, and is now much more comprehensive on the experiences of women. However, questions regarding the process of the memorialization of the Resistance remain unanswered, and in this project, the student will explore how the historiographical debate has helped reintegrating women in this vital page of national history; will contribute case studies pertaining to the Italian and French history which will be paradigmatic for their interpretation of diversity and inclusion; will analyse key documentary evidence (in the shape of TV and radio broadcast and parliamentary debates) detailing the journey to inclusion of key historical figures in the French and Italian resistance.
