FROM ARCHITECTURE TO DESIGN AND BACK: THE ARCHITECTURAL ROOTS OF THE ITALIAN DESIGN SYSTEM, 1920-1980 DE LA ARQUITECTURA AL DISEÑO IDA Y VUELTA: LAS RAÍCES ARQUITECTÓNICAS DEL SISTEMA DE DISEÑO ITALIANO, 1920-1980
Università de Oviedo, 2020Co-Authors: Dellapiana Elena, Bulegato FiorellaAbstract:The histories of Italian design and architecture may be more readily understood if one considers that many of the protagonists are architect-designers. Identifying the root of this convergence in an academic and professional educational system based on the idea of the "complete architect", trained to work at any scale of design, this paper frames the work of the architect-designers within the cultural, economic and manufacturing context of the period between the 1920s and 1980s, when for historical reasons their role became particularly significant. Furthermore, many design Historians in Italy are the product of the same education as the architects, and having followed the same course of studies as the architectural Historians, they acquired the same techniques of investigation and interpretation, which they later refined in their own fields. The theme is thus explored from the perspectives of the two authors, both architects but with specific training one as an architectural historian, and the other as a design historian. The relationship between the two research directions – the theoretical debate and its narrations, the relationship between designers and manufacturers – makes it possible to clarify some of the aspects that distinguish the history of Italian design culture compared to that of other Western nations

does history matter political scientists welsh and scottish devolution
Twentieth Century British History, 2001Co-Authors: Richard J FinlayAbstract:When does history become history? When does it become appropriate to say that a sufficient distance in time has passed to let the historian apply the skills of the trade to best effect? These questions are important because they are central to that border region between history and contemporary studies and the vexed problem of intellectual ownership. The case of Scottish and Welsh devolution is a good case in point. All agree that they were (are) significant historical events, but when does it become appropriate to pass them over to the study of Historians? At the moment, their historical significance has been defined by political scientists, largely on the basis that as contemporary political events, they fall within their intellectual jurisdiction. Their expertise in recent events is thought to be of more value than that of the crusty old Historians who have to wait until the dust settles before coming to a judgment. All of which presents a conundrum. Can and should Historians be able to use their skills to deliver up to the minute analysis on what are seen by all as historic events? If they are historic events, then surely the best people to study them are Historians? Understandably there is a reluctance to do this. All the evidence from contemporary events is usually not available, contemporary judgments tend to be fragile and easily overturned by subsequent opinion, the nearer in time, the less objectivity, and so on and so on. It is a risky business and Historians tend to be cautious creatures. Yet, in theory, there is no intrinsic reason why it should not be possible. We never have all the evidence, subsequent opinion usually changes, although the process tends to slow down as more time elapses, and no one can ever be truly objective. It should not be any more difficult to give a historical analysis of the devolution referendums of 1997 than of the impact of plague on Cardiff in 1451. Or should it?

philosophy early modern intellectual history and the history of philosophy
Metaphilosophy, 2012Co-Authors: Michael EdwardsAbstract:Historians of philosophy are increasingly likely to emphasize the extent to which their work offers a pay-off for philosophers of un-historical or anti-historical inclinations; but this defence is less familiar, and often seems less than self-evident, to intellectual Historians. This article examines this tendency, arguing that such arguments for the instrumental value of historical scholarship in philosophy are often more problematic than they at first appear. Using the relatively familiar case study of Rene Descartes' reading of his scholastic and Aristotelian contemporaries, the article attempts to problematize this notion of pay-off from an historian's perspective.

goodbye to all that again the fischer thesis the new revisionism and the meaning of the first world war
International Affairs, 2015Co-Authors: John C G RohlAbstract:What is the truth about the nature of the First World War and why have Historians been unable to agree on its origins? The interpretation that no one country was to blame prevailed until the 1960s when a bitter international controversy, sparked by the work of the Hamburg historian Fritz Fischer, arrived at the consensus that the Great War had been a �bid for world power� by imperial Germany and therefore a conflict in which Britain had necessarily and justly engaged. But in this centennial year Fischer's conclusions have in turn been challenged by Historians claiming that Europe's leaders all �sleepwalked� into the catastrophe. This article, the text of the Martin Wight Memorial Lecture held at the University of Sussex in November 2014, explores the archival discoveries which underpinned the Fischer thesis of the 1960s and subsequent research, and asks with what justification such evidence is now being set aside by the new revisionism.
