Nationalists Who Feared the Nation
We can often learn as much from political movements that failed as from those that achieved their goals.Nationalists Who Feared the Nation looks at one such frustrated movement: a group of community leaders and writers in Venice, Trieste, and Dalmatia during the 1830s, 40s, and 50s who proposed the creation of a multinational zone surrounding the Adriatic Sea. At the time, the lands of the Adriatic formed a maritime community whose people spoke different languages and practiced different faiths but identified themselves as belonging to a single region of the Hapsburg Empire. While these activists hoped that nationhood could be used to strengthen cultural bonds, they also feared nationalism's homogenizing effects and its potential for violence. This book demonstrates that not all nationalisms attempted to create homogeneous, single-language, -religion, or -ethnicity nations. Moreover, in treating the Adriatic lands as one unit, this book serves as a correction to \"national\" histories that impose our modern view of nationhood on what was a multinational region.

Nationalstaat als Telos?
Die europäischen Konservativen des 19. Jahrhunderts hätten sie sich ungern als Reaktionäre, Rückwärtsgewandte oder Unverbesserliche bezeichnet. Obwohl die offene Unterdrückung der politischen Gegner eine praktikable Option blieb, tendierten sogar die unerbittlichsten Verfechter des Status quo dazu, ihre politischen Ziele zu popularisieren. Auch reformbereite Konservative sahen sich vor einer delikaten Herausforderung: Wie ließen sich Modernisierungsmaßnahmen re alisieren, ohne die eigene Machtbasis zu untergraben? Die Studie untersucht die umfassende Dynamisierung des konservativen Diskurses, die schließlich zur spektakulären und halbgewollten Durchsetzung der Nationalstaatsidee in Deutschland und Italien führte.

Verdis Opern und der Risorgimento
The thorough analysis of historical sources from the beginning of the year 1859 shows that the famous acrostic VIVA VERDI was not only widely known in Italy but also throughout Europe. However, it was not associated with any political activities of the composer Giuseppe Verdi. The reason is that Verdi’s operas already during the revolutionary months of 1848 were not understood as political ‘Risorgimento’ operas. The causes for political demonstrations during performances of Verdi’s operas were either coincidentally or provoked by political circumstances which were independent of the operas. Verdi’s operas were, in any case, not the causes of spontaneous patriotic emotions.

The Risorgimento Revisited: Nationalism and Culture in Nineteenth-Century Italy
Reviewed by Houman Barekat Drawing on a rich tradition of opera, poetry and music to supplement the obligatory military parades, the lavish celebrations that marked last year's 150th anniversary of Italian unification spoke to something altogether deeper than the political and economic contiguity of a nation state. [...]the Risorgimento's claim on Rome as the national capital played a crucial role in defining the relationship between the new state and the Papacy.
