Publications and researches in progress
The
first publication edited by the Fabretti Centre is a volume containing the
records of a meeting with the title Conservazione/distruzione
del corpo (Preservation/Destruction of the body), held in Turin in 1995.
The title of this publication edited by Manuela Tartari is La terra e il fuoco (The Earth and the Fire), Meltemi, Turin 1996.
This work is not exclusively concerned with History and demonstrates the
impossibility of studying a topic such as death without an opening to other
disciplines. In
1998 Paravia-Scriptorium published two books on death: La morte laica. Vol.I - Storia della cremazione in Italia dal 1880 al
1920, (The Secular Death - History of Cremation in Italy from 1880 to
1920)), by Fulvio Conti, Anna Maria Isastia, and Fiorenza Tarozzi, and La
morte laica. Vol.II - Storia della cremazione a Torino dal 1880 al 1920
(The Secular death – History of Cremation in Turin from 1880 to 1920) by
Augusto Comba, Emma Mana, and Serenella Nonnis Vigilante, covering the same
historical period. Both works made use of the ample documentation available at
the Library and Archives of the Foundation and, at the same time, contributed
to its enrichment. Another
book, also published by Paravia-Scriptorium is Il sonno e la memoria. Idee della morte e politiche funerarie durante la
Rivoluzione Francese (Sleep and Memory – Ideas on Death and Funerary
Policies during the French Revolution) by Charles Porset and Marina Sozzi.
This work is mainly concerned with the Directoire period. Marcella Filippa’s work La
morte contesa. Cremazione e riti funebri nell’Italia fascista
(The
Contended Death – Cremation and Funerary Rites in Fascist Italy)
was published in October 2001. In November 2001 Paravia-Scriptorium
published the records of the meeting La
scena degli addii: morte e riti funebri nella società occidentale
contemporanea ( The Farewell Scene – Death and Funerary Rites in the
contemporary Western Society). In January 2003 Adriano Favole’s
book Resti
di umanità. Vita sociale del corpo dopo la morte
(Human Remains – Social Life of the body after death) was published by Laterza.
The research was made possible also thanks to a scholarship awarded to the
author by the Fabretti Foundation. |
