Abstract/Notes: This contribution aims to reconstruct the network of national and international relations which contributed to the return of Maria Montessori to Italy in May 1947 and to the establishment of a Centro di Studi Pedagogici in order to create the conditions for a permanent residence of the scientist in her country. The reconstitution of the Opera Nazionale Montessori and the activities of its president Maria de Unterrichter Jervolino in collaboration with leading personalities of Italian political and cultural life and with the ‘historical’ students of Montessori are placed in this context. / Aquesta contribució pretén reconstruir la xarxa de relacions nacionals i internacionals que van contribuir al retorn de Maria Montessori a Itàlia el maig de 1947 i a la creació del Centro di Studi Pedagogici per tal de crear les condicions per a una residència permanent de la científica al seu país. La reconstitució de l’Opera Nazionale Montessori i les activitats de la seva presidenta Maria de Unterrichter Jervolino en col·laboració amb personalitats destacades de la vida política i cultural italiana i amb els estudiants ‘històrics’ de Montessori se situen en aquest context. / Esta contribución tiene como objetivo reconstruir la red de relaciones nacionales e internacionales que contribuyó al regreso de Maria Montessori a Italia en mayo de 1947 y al establecimiento del Centro di Studi Pedagogici con el fin de crear las condiciones para una residencia estable de la científica en su país.

A Preliminary Genealogy of Yoga in Italy: Between Religion and Contemporary Spirituality
Available from: MDPI
Publication: Religions, vol. 14, no. 6

Pages: Article 800

Abstract/Notes: In this article, we design a preliminary genealogy of yoga in Italy, showing its positioning within the growing field of “contemporary spiritualities”, their premodern, esoteric and theosophical roots and Catholicism. Our main claim is that yoga and contemporary spiritualities as practiced in XXI-century Italy are neither entirely new nor are they clearly an alternative to more established religions. We rely on the methods and tools of a “discursive study of religion” approach to unpack the intricacies, genealogical roots and definitional boundaries that yoga, contemporary spiritualities and religion in Italy share. More specifically, we question the novelty of contemporary spiritualities in Italy, unveiling some of their esoteric, theosophical and anthroposophical roots, presenting, in turn, a preliminary genealogy of yoga in Italy, discussing its positioning amid Catholicism and contemporary spiritualities. We conclude by reflecting on the creation, use and limits of sociocultural theorizing about interpreting and understanding the spiritual and religious field, with a specific emphasis on the overlapping and porous boundaries between the concepts of religion, contemporary spiritualities, Western esotericism and modern yoga.

Mothers’ Milk and Mothers’ Time: Childcare Advice and the Conceptualization of Demand Feeding in Post-1945 Britain and Italy

Abstract/Notes: This article draws on childcare advice to investigate the shift from breastfeeding by the clock to feeding on demand in twentieth-century Britain and Italy, to demonstrate that it was not just mothers’ bodies, nor what they fed their children, but their time that was subject to political, medical, and cultural attention. The comparative approach highlights the convergences and divergences in breastfeeding advice, illuminating the interactions with political and intellectual currents, as much as social and economic patterns. ‘Scientific motherhood’ and the promotion of feeding by the clock dominated in Britain and Italy at the beginning of the century, and persisted under fascist initiatives to regulate breastfeeding. Some existing differences, however, contained the seeds of greater divergence after 1945 in the two countries. Shaped by differing intersections of medical, psychoanalytic, and feminist thinking, the uneven shift to the concept of demand feeding slowly took root in Britain in the post-war period, but in Italy only in the context of 1968 counter-cultural ideas. The 1970s brought the conversation back to a point of convergence between Britain and Italy in the feminist recognition of the complexities of balancing the ‘rights and duties’ of mothers and children when it came to feeding babies.
