Italian political terrorism of the 1970s has produced in its
aftermath a rich body of memorial writing, created not only by
victims or perpetrators but also by the secondary victims of
violence, often children of the dead, who many years after their
loss ask why their parents or relatives were chosen as targets,
what it means for them personally and for the history of the
Italian anni di piombo. This volume brings together a body of
essays that explore this field of "postmemorial" writing, a field
that extends the scope of memory studies, particularly in relation
to political violence, and especially when those memories are
fragile and indirect. The book analyses the work of victims'
children such as Mario Calabresi, Benedetta Tobagi, Luca Tarantelli
and Massimo Coco, exploring how these authors and others have
narrated their unique experiences, from their distant memories of
their fathers - each assassinated by different Italian terrorist
groups - to their more recent struggles to deal with state
institutions ill-equipped to respond to, or indifferent to, their
plight. It further examines how their "postmemorial" works have
contributed to a new relationship between history and personal
memory in Italy. All of these writers, impelled by a sense of
marginalization, frustration and sometimes anger to become actors
and witnesses against their own will, have added their own
indispensable tiles to the mosaic of a national and collective
memory of the 1970s that is still largely unresolved in Italy
today.
