The documents conserved in the Terracini Jewish Archive of Turin allow the reader to examine the application of the legislation concerning Jewish communities during the period of time starting from the Napoleonic domination until the Italian unity. My research focuses in particular on the notarial deeds and judicial documents relating to the property of the synagogue and the cemetery of the Jewish community of Mondovì. Under the rule of France the Jewish people living in Piedmont were allowed to become real estate owners and the plots of land where the Jewish cemetery was located and the house that hosted the synagogue in Mondovì were allotted to the Jewish community. During the Restoration, the ban to become real estate property was introduced again. Even if the Jewish people of Mondovì had bought from its owner the house of the synagogue and they had obtained from the French administration the property of the plots of land of the cemetery, they were not anymore recognized as owners. After the emancipation of the Jewish population and the Italian unity, the Jewish community of Mondovì claimed its rights on those real estate properties: my essay would focus on the exam of the archive documents that show how the legislation concerning real estate property for Jewish people was applied over time.

Durante la prima Guerra Mondiale, diversi settori della società civile italiana furono posti sotto il controllo dell’autorità militare. Il settore produttivo fu quello che più di altri fu sottoposto ad un vero e proprio inquadramento militare, sia a livello disciplinare sia giuridico. In questo processo furono coinvolte tutte le zone di guerra, inclusi i territori che comprendevano attività necessarie allo sforzo bellico. Fu questo il caso di Torino che fu proclamata zona di guerra nel 1915. Il mio contributo mira a studiare quali siano state le ricadute dell’applicazione del nuovo ordinamento militare anche ai civili e le limitazioni alle libertà personali che questo cambiamento impose.

Il professore di diritto penale Tancredi Canonico ebbe, fin dagli albori della sua carriera, interessi non limitati all’ambito locale ma rivolti verso l’Europa, grazie anche ai viaggi compiuti. Uno sguardo al panorama europeo caratterizzò la sua carriera accademica e politica. Alla sua impostazione europeista contribuì la conoscenza del giurista e mistico polacco Andrea Towianski. Il contributo si concentra sulla sua attività come penalista nell’ambito delle riforme carcerarie a livello europeo, testimoniata dalla sua produzione scientifica e accompagnata dal resoconto delle visite alle carceri europee.

Tancred Canonico was a professor of criminal law at the University of Turin during the second half of the eighteenth century. He had the chance to travel across Europe and to get in touch with many important jurists like Karl J. Mittermaier. During his journey, he met the polish Andrea Towianski whose religious beliefs determined a wide-ranging change in the attitude of Tancredi Canonico towards his personal life and his academic career. This contribution aims to analyze the development of his thought in the field of criminal law during his long academic career.

Abstract The reform of the legal studies brought in by Cesare Alfieri di Sostegno in 1846 was a turning point for the Faculty of law of the University of Turin. This paper aims to underline the contributions given by the professors of law, in particular Felice Merlo, Luigi Amedeo Melegari and Pietro Lugi Albini, to the debate arisen in this field. The analysis highlights their belief of the importance of the legal studies, and details the subsequent legislative changes that shaped the legal cursus studiorum up to the accomplishment of national unity, with a special focus on the Bon-Compagni and the Casati laws.

Los encuentros cotidianos y excepcionales de las personas con el Estado resultan de la interacción y el relacionamiento con una multiplicidad de actores que exceden la institucionalidad formalmente delimitada y establecida de aquél. En este trabajo buscamos aportar al conocimiento sobre el Estado moderno desde el estudio antropológico de procesos políticos. Valiéndonos de un enfoque etnográfico, presentamos tres procesos políticos que resultan centrales a la historia reciente de la ciudad entrerriana de Victoria: (i) la concreción del puente Victoria-Rosario impulsada por un conjunto de actores locales comprometidos con un trabajo político orientado a crear interés en la obra en el gobierno nacional; (ii) la implementación de instrumentos de planificación que regulan usos del espacio urbano y producen espacialidades acordes a ciertas tendencias dominantes de la última década, y (iii) los modos en que la agenda pública de la turistificación de la ciudad se entrelaza con la producción de un destino turístico atractivo para inversores del sector privado. Tras delimitar sus especificidades en función de los actores, relaciones y contextos que cada uno implica, sugerimos que sus articulaciones fueron configurando la experiencia social del cambio como efectos y afectos de Estado.
