The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture Reception and Legacy

The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture Reception and Legacy

Today nearly a century after the National Fascist Party came to power in Italy questions about the built legacy of the regime provoke polemics among architects and scholars. Mussolini’s government constructed thousands of new buildings across the Italian Peninsula and islands and in colonial territories. From hospitals post offices and stadia to housing summer camps Fascist Party Headquarters ceremonial spaces roads railways and bridges the physical traces of the regime have a presence in nearly every Italian town. The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture investigates what has become of the architectural and urban projects of Italian fascism how sites have been transformed or adapted and what constitutes the meaning of these buildings and cities today. The essays include a rich array of new arguments by both senior and early career scholars from Italy and beyond. They examine the reception of fascist architecture through studies of destruction and adaptation debates over reuse artistic interventions and even routine daily practices which may slowly alter collective understandings of such places. Paolo Portoghesi sheds light on the subject from his internal perspective while Harald Bodenschatz situates Italy among period totalitarian authorities and their symbols across Europe. Section editors frame synthesize and moderate essays that explore fascism’s afterlife; how the physical legacy of the regime has been altered and preserved and what it means now. This critical history of interpretations of fascist-era architecture and urban projects broadens our understanding of the relationships among politics identity memory and place. This companion will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of fields including Italian history architectural history cultural studies visual sociology political science and art history. | The Routledge Companion to Italian Fascist Architecture Reception and Legacy

A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents

The late David Wills spent a lifetime in the service of the so-called delinquent the misfit the maladjusted. He was the first Englishman to train as a psychiatric social worker and was well known for his books The Hawkspur Experiment The Barns Experiment etc. Originally published in 1970 this book describes another experiment with a hostel for boys leaving schools for maladjusted children and lacking any settled home from which to enter the community. It demonstrates once again David Wills’s conviction that the offender wants to be ‘good’ and will be helped by affection rather than by punishment. Yet it is obvious that the work was full of stress and that only people with some of the attributes of archangels could respond to the boys’ needs and remain in control of the situation. The book demonstrates the extent of deprivation suffered by such young people and that no ordinary hostels or lodgings will do if they are to be set upon a less turbulent course of life leading to truly adult independence. It added greatly to our understanding of the personalities experience of life and needs of maladjusted boys in their ‘teens at the time although the lessons drawn from it were disturbing in relation both to prevention and treatment. The penetration of David Wills’s assessment is beyond doubt and (as Dame Eileen Younghusband concludes in her Foreword) his book will give a great deal to those ‘trying in various capacities to help boys and girls who otherwise would grow into adulthood permanently handicapped emotionally and socially’. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1970. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication. | A Place Like Home A Hostel for Disturbed Adolescents
