Pepijn Corduwener is a junior lecturer and PhD Candidate at the Department of History and Art History. He studied European Studies and History at the University of Amsterdam, took a MA degree in Political History at Utrecht University and a MA at the Centre for European Studies at University College London. His research focuses on conflicting conceptions of ‘democracy’ in postwar Western Europe. In a comparative research in which France, Italy and Germany are included, he studies the criticisms that have been aired on the functioning parliamentary democracy in these countries, how these ostensible failures have been accounted for and which alternatives for democratic government have been formulated by politicians, intellectuals, political parties and social movements. The founding of new social and political movements from 1945 until the rise of new populism will be incorporated in this research. This research questions the dominant vision in historiography about the deeply rooted consensus on the meaning of democracy in Western Europe after the experiences of World War II.

Guy Lanoue (Ph.D., U. of Toronto, 1984) worked on the cultural dynamics of violence among a Northwestern Dene (Athapascan) people of northern British Columbia, Canada, in the 1980s. Between 1987 and 1993 he taught in Lecce, Chieti (Pescara) and Rome. After researching notions of myth and community among the Dene, in the late 1990s he began research on Abruzzese peasants, who were long used to reconciling local notions of community with ‘foreign’ notions vectored by formal State ideologies. In the 1990s, this led to research in Rome on the old Roman bourgeoisie, people who self-identify as being the descendants of the ‘bourgeoisie’ of pre-Unification (Papal) Rome. The absence of the normal bases of bourgeois status and power (the industrial and financial sectors were and are relatively underdeveloped in Papal and in contemporary Rome) led to analyses on how values attach to place, how they influence notions of moral and cultural power, and, more importantly, how (and why) they are acknowledged by others who do not have direct access to this source of personal capital. Since 1994, he has taught at the University of Montreal.
