Make-believe: fashion and Cinelandia in Rizzoli's Lei (1933–38)

Amidst the wide array of women's magazines published in Italy in the 1930s, Lei. Rivista di vita femminile presents a compelling case study of the make-believe effect achieved through fashion and the allure of the silver screen. Published by Angelo Rizzoli between 1933 and 1938, Lei stands out for a cosmopolitan, American-looking lifestyle that champions an Italian ‘new woman’, aware of her own new image and enmeshed in a fantastic world of romantic novels and movie stars. This essay studies the paradoxes and complexities of an Italian illustrated periodical promoting the image of a fashionable woman in the midst of growing imperialism and autarchy, and publishing the work of Leica photographers, Lucio Ridenti and Paul Wolff in particular. Lei reflects the fundamental ambivalence of this time, promoting Italian fashion through Hollywood as a way to counteract the French fashion industry, and inviting women to role-play through the allure of their image.

论希特勒的对华政策(1933—1941)

在希特勒的远东政策上,其对华政策颇令人寻味,它一直处于一种不稳定和缺乏一贯性的状态。1935年11月的英国《泰晤士报》写道:“同与其他列强的关系相比,中国同德国的关系更加密切,无论在经济关系,政治关系上,还是在军事关系上,德国人都独占鳌头”。然而,中日战争爆发后,希特勒却在国会宣称,中国的每一个胜利都意味着“布尔什维克主义在东亚的胜利,除了对国际犹太人外,这种胜利对谁都无好处”。

潘汉年与中央特科(1931～1933年)

潘汉年是临危受命于中央特科情报科长的。他创造性地把党的情报工作与统一战线工作有机结合,建立了广泛的情报网;把专门性重要情报力量与一般性普通辅助性情报力量结合,开辟了新的情报渠道。此外,他把公开工作与秘密工作严加区别同时正确结合,利用公开合法的法律和社会惯例,与敌人周旋,并取得对敌斗争的胜利。     

日伪对华北粮食统制研究(1933—1945)

粮食是重要的战备物资,日本自局部进犯华北至战败,对华北粮食的统制经历了“日满华经济提携”指导下的农粮调查、“增棉保粮”政策下的粮食开发及贸易统制、“重点开发”及封锁掠粮、服务“决战体制”下的行政收买及武装掠粮四个阶段。粮食统制的变化与日本战略扩张及维持沦陷区治安密切相关,本质是维持华北沦陷区的“兵站基地”作用。日伪对粮食进行殖民性开发、劫掠式收购、差别式配给,掠夺强度不断加深,一定程度上满足了日本“以战养战”的目的。但囿于华北农情实况和各界抗争现实,日伪主观统制意图与客观经济规律难以调和,粮食统制最终走向失败结局。     

德意志犹太人向巴勒斯坦的移居(1933—1941)

纳粹当局认为支持犹太复国主义者的主张有助于“犹太人问题”的解决 ,因而利用不断升级的反犹政策 ,力图将尽可能多的德意志犹太人赶向巴勒斯坦。不少德意志犹太人在面临纳粹当局的迫害和驱逐、西方民主国家又拒绝他们入境而走投无路的情况下 ,加入犹太复国主义移居运动之中。这两个截然相反的对立面甚至在诸如出境手续的办理、职业培训班的开办、部分财产的转移以及非法偷渡等问题上达成了某种程度的妥协和默契 ,从而使得向巴勒斯坦的移民具有一种组织化的特点。     

Black Stars,Red Stars: anti-colonial constellations in Ryszard Kapuściński’s Cold War reportage

In 1963 the Polish journalist Ryszard Kapu?ciński published Black Stars (Czarne gwiazdy), a collection of reportage essays about the decolonization of Ghana and the Belgian Congo. Far from a neutral observer, Kapu?ciński, like other Socialist Bloc correspondents writing about the national independence movements jolting the continent, sought to build anti-imperialist consensus in his home country. Black Stars is thus foremost a literary document of Cold War Soviet foreign policy. But what one also finds in these works of reportage, I contend, are traces of the desire on the part of certain satellite states to secure for themselves the national autonomy supported by the Soviet Union in the decolonizing world. In this article I show how Black Stars chronicles the formation of unorthodox socialist currents within the politics of Second World-Third World solidarity while otherwise in the service of the official Soviet agenda. In doing so I argue that Kapu?ciński's anti-colonial reportage sheds light not only on the relationship of Postcolonial Studies to the Eastern European experience, but on the relationship of Marxist thought to Postcolonial Theory more broadly.
