Is the cinematic newsreel the strongest weapon? The "Luce" newsreel reception during fascism

The Luce newsreel was a fascist-pivotal propaganda instrument. Mussolini thought movies were the strongestweapon; however, the efficiency of cinematographic propaganda on people did not work as well as expected,especially nonfiction. This article intends to value, through oral testimonies, the influence of Lucenewsreel on the Italian population during fascism, the degree of truth of film news, and which of those piecesof news were more repeated, as well as the influence of the Italian and its leader image on the collective mind.

Das Osterreichische Deutsch: analisi della variante austriaca alla luce della concezione del tedesco come lingua pluricentrica

Il presente elaborato propone un’analisi del tedesco standard austriaco e prende le mosse da un argomento di attualità, ovvero la discussione sulla necessità di meglio preservare i tratti caratteristici di questa varietà linguistica, di fronte alla tendenza, riscontrabile soprattutto tra i più giovani, a utilizzare sempre più spesso termini ed espressioni tipiche del tedesco parlato in Germania. Questo fenomeno è strettamente legato all’influenza dei moderni mezzi di comunicazione e all’ampia disponibilità di materiale doppiato, che contribuisce a diffondere la varietà caratteristica del nord della Germania negli altri paesi di lingua tedesca. Dopo aver fornito alcune informazioni di carattere storico e spiegato alcune nozioni di linguistica, la riflessione si concentra sul concetto di lingua pluricentrica e sugli spunti che quest’ultimo offre in ambito formativo, sia per la formazione scolastica dei madrelingua che nel campo dell’insegnamento del tedesco come lingua straniera.
