Italian Civil War - Use of The Expression in History

Use of The Expression in History

Historian Claudio Pavone, thanks to the success of his famous book Una guerra civile. Saggio storico sulla moralità della Resistenza ("A civil war. Historical essay on the morality of the Resistance"), published in 1991, was responsible of making Italian civil war a widespread used term in Italian and international historiography; the term was already used before, but not as much as since the early 1990s, when it became a widely used historical category.

Famous quotes containing the words expression and/or history:

    A man finds room in the few square inches of the face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.
