SUMMARY:Claudio Fogu\, "The Fishing Net and the Spider Web: Mediterranean Imaginaries and the Making of Italians"
DESCRIPTION:This is the third of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nClaudio Fogu\, The Fishing Net and the Spider Web: Mediterranean Imaginaries and the Making of Italians (Palgrave\, 2021) \n“This book explores the role of Mediterranean imaginaries in one of the preeminent tropes of Italian history: the formation or ‘making of’ Italians. While previous scholarship on the construction of Italian identity has often focused too narrowly on the territorial notion of the nation-state\, and over-identified Italy with its capital\, Rome\, this book highlights the importance of the Mediterranean Sea to the development of Italian collective imaginaries. From this perspective\, this book re-interprets key historical processes and actors in the history of modern Italy\, and thereby challenges mainstream interpretations of Italian collective identity as weak or incomplete. Ultimately\, it argues that Mediterranean imaginaries acted as counterweights to the solidification of a ‘national’ Italian identity\, and still constitute alternative but equally viable modes of collective belonging.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAoc-Gqpj4uHNP95cX92KF0uyOSkEM84Tcw \n

SUMMARY:Edward B. Westermann\, "Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany"
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth of a series of book talks hosted by Brian Griffith that\, in one way or another\, impinge upon the history of Europe’s interwar crisis. These book talks will be open to members both of UCLA’s campus community and the general public\, and pre-registration is required. \nEdward B. Westermann\, Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Nazi Germany (Cornell\, 2021) \n“In Drunk on Genocide\, Edward B. Westermann reveals how\, over the course of the Third Reich\, scenes involving alcohol consumption and revelry among the SS and police became a routine part of rituals of humiliation in the camps\, ghettos\, and killing fields of Eastern Europe. Westermann draws on a vast range of newly unearthed material to explore how alcohol consumption served as a literal and metaphorical lubricant for mass murder. It facilitated “performative masculinity\,” expressly linked to physical or sexual violence. Such inebriated exhibitions extended from meetings of top Nazi officials to the rank and file\, celebrating at the grave sites of their victims. Westermann argues that\, contrary to the common misconception of the SS and police as stone-cold killers\, they were\, in fact\, intoxicated with the act of murder itself. Drunk on Genocide highlights the intersections of masculinity\, drinking ritual\, sexual violence\, and mass murder to expose the role of alcohol and celebratory ritual in the Nazi genocide of European Jews. Its surprising and disturbing findings offer a new perspective on the mindset\, motivation\, and mentality of killers as they prepared for\, and participated in\, mass extermination.” \nZoom Registration Portal: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAofuCuqjsvG9Jr9JrNb18L_UfJRfKdT4_C
