Facing the Crisis
Berghahn Books (Verlag)
978-1-78920-780-4 (ISBN)
Among the founding nations of the European Union, no nation has experienced a more devastating affect from the 2008 economic crisis than Italy. Although its recovery has recently begun, Italy has fallen even further behind EU economic leaders and the EU average. Looking at how and why this happened, Facing the Crisis brings together ethnographic material from anthropological research projects carried out in various Italian industrial locations. With its wide breadth of locations and industries, the volume looks at all corners of the diverse Italian manufacturing system.
Fulvia D’Aloisio is Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’. Her most important publications include Donne in tuta amaranto. Trasformazioni del lavoro e mutamento culturale alla FIAT-SATA di Melfi (Guerini & Associati, 2003) and Vita di fabbrica. Cristina racconta il decollo e la crisi della FIAT-SATA di Melfi (Franco Angeli, 2014).
