Die getrennte Erinnerung. Der Resistenza-Mythos in Italien von 1943 bis heute: Ursprünge – Wandel – Ausblick

Abstract

The following bachelor thesis is about the Resistance myth in postwar Italy and its transition during the last seven decades. Starting with an overview of its origins in the first years after the war, the paper describes its transition from an important reference point for all political parties (except the neofascist MSI) towards a controversial locus of memory. It then puts a special emphasis on the last two years, while a center left-wing coalition has been ruling and reinterpreting the myth – again.
