Her monograph Memory of the Deportation and Extermination in Italy between 1945-1985 (2008) was based on literature and memoir sources. She has published articles on Jewish\u2013Christian relations after World War II, on memory and identity issues, and on gender questions. Dr. Consonni is a specialist in general and Jewish history and literary and cultural studies. Her fields of research include Shoah literature and studies in Italy in a comparative European context (Spain, France, and Germany); 19th- and 20th-century Italian literature; memory and national identity building in Western culture; cultural history; gender theory; and film studies. Dr. Consonni\u2019s current research project is titled \u201cBracketing Death: Philosophical and Anthropological Analysis of Death and the History of the Shoah.\u201d She is on the editorial board of the journal Italia \u2013 History and Literature of Italian Jewry.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Manuela Consonni, <em>Resistance and Shoah<\/em>, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2010<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1055\" src=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/consonnibook2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"consonnibook2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Manuela Consonni\u2019s new book focuses on the different uses of memory of the Resistance and of the Shoah, which began to take hold in Italy in the period spanning from 1945 to 1985. Italy is used as a case study for the understanding of the shaping and formation of the new European national identities after World War II. The book traces the changes in the character and functions of historical memory during this period when national consciousness was undergoing a critical development in its search for unity.&nbsp; What emerges are the tensions between the memory of antifascist resistance on the one hand and the shameful and disturbing awareness of the fascist past on the other. The author sheds new light on the process of&nbsp; Italian reconstruction and revitalization, including the rebuilding of national self-identity. This is the first attempt at an interdisciplinary synthesis of this kind, combining history,&nbsp; memoir literature, and other literary sources, historiographic debates as well as political discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manuela Consonni, Resistance and Shoah, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2010 Manuela Consonni\u2019s new book focuses on the different uses of memory of the Resistance and of the Shoah, which&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6643,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
