Fotoperiodismo en la Guerra del Rif (1909)

[ES] En 1909 España entró en guerra con Marruecos, un conflicto armado que ha pasado a la historia como la guerra del Rif. En el transcurso de la misma cambiaron muchas casas en España, pues una población descontenta logró derrocar a un gobierno que promovió la injusta medida de enviar al frente a los reservistas. Paralelamente a ello, esta guerra significó el inicio efectivo del fotoperiodismo en España, ya que las principales revistas gráficas enviaron al escenario del conflicto a reporteros que semanalmente enviaban sus fotografías desde el mismísimo campo de batalla.

La historiografía obrera italiana (1900-1981)

[ES] Este artículo estudia la evolución de la historiografía obrera italiana, que surge del marxismo y vinculada al PCI. Esta historiografía militante se caracterizó por la recopilación de fuentes documentales y el estudio del movimiento organizado, al tiempo que se debatía sobre cuestiones socio-económicas. En una segunda fase, a partir de 1956, la historiografía obrera italiana avanzó en pos de un mayor rigor científico, propósito que se concretó en una mayor apertura de los archivos y en la ampliación de la investigación a temáticas políticamente sensibles. Posteriormente, al calor de los cambios experimentados por el país en los años sesenta y setenta, y favorecida por los contactos con historiografías foráneas, la historiografía obrera italiana perdió progresivamente su carácter militante y se renovó con nuevas interrogantes y metodologías. [EN] This article looks at the evolution of labour historiography in Italy, a movement that emerged from Marxism and was linked to the PCI. This militant historiography was characterized by the compilation of documentary sources and the study of the organised movement, while general socio-economic issues were under discussion. The second phase, from 1956 onward, saw Italian labour historiography making advances in achieving greater thoroughness, involving the opening of more archives and expanding the research to politically sensitive issues. Subsequently, in the light of changes experienced by the country in the 1960s and 1970s, and thanks to foreign historiographies, the Italian labour historiography lost its militant nature in a progressive way and developed new queries and methodologies.

La carriera degli attori italiani di prosa dalla scena allo schermo (1909-1916)

Most actors of the Italian silent cinema in the early 1910s have a theatrical training. Some of them are already asserted or famous actors (like Cesare Dondini, Ermete Novelli, Ermete Zacconi, Giovanni Grasso) who are invited “to pose” for the cinema following their reputation, according to a strategy of an aesthetic and cultural legitimacy launched in 1909 by film d'art of the Pathé Consortium. I think it is the proverbial readiness and strength of the stage Italian actors that create a decisive contribution to the rapid development of the national cinema industry, despite its serious structural deficiencies, from the protoindustrialized phase (1909) to the golden age of divismo (starting in 1913), until the first signs of decadence (1919), and the so-called “fall” of the UCI production and distribution system. This is the main topic of the thesis: an investigation on the Italian stage actors engaged in the film industry (“from stage to screen” as the Italian title says, but in a “post-Vardac” approach) through many different sources: periodicals, memories, personal and business letters, and also contracts, found in several archive funds. A specific chapter is dedicated to the artistic career of Febo Mari (1881-1939), real name Alfredo Rodriguez, witch is a time-sample symptomatic of deep ties established between the growing film publishing and the Italian theatrical production system in the 1910s. The Mari debut in cinema and his ascent toward screen “divo” status coincides with the parable that leads from emergence to decadence of divismo in Italy.
