IMPAGLIAZZO MARCO
(syllabus)
The twentieth century was the most violent century in history. The century of the genocides, that of the world wars, of the nuclear weapon, of the ideological clash. Faced with so many conflicts, men, societies, cultures, religions have produced answers and actions to restore peace and coexistence and to promote development: paths of reconciliation - sometimes inadequate, sometimes courageous -, institutions, social and legal innovations. After analyzing the factors underlying collective violence - nationalism, authoritarianism, racism, propaganda, economic inequality - The course will reconstruct some of the pacification paths by placing them in the geopolitical and cultural scenarios in which they were produced, from post-World War II Europe to the non-European world of decolonisation.
Particular attention will be devoted to the analysis of African conflicts and initiatives to end, pacify and reconcile. The issue is addressed from an historical, geopolitical and social point of view. The recent phenomena of religious terrorism and the commitment of various subjects to their stigmatization and isolation will then be examined.
