Specifically I’m going to study how much and how American presidents used some words related to slavery in their discourses. First of all Slavery is a central subject in American history, economy and social life. Slavery existed in the 13 British colonies that became the United States. In other, in 1860, the proposed abolition of slavery was the first reason of the secession of the southern states causing the Civil war, the bloodiest war in American history. I’ll therefore analyze presidential discourses from 1790 to 2016, starting with president Washington and ending with president Obama. I suppose that in the years before and in the years immediately following the civil war, presidents often spoke of slavery. Furthermore after the war, during the XIX and the XX century, the “problem” of slavery changed and evolved in the black issue. Slavery relied on a distinction between whites and blacks and the approval of the XIII amendment to the US constitution was only a step in black people’s journey from slavery to equal rights. We can say that slavery signed American history and American people’s life from American independence to the present day.

Il filosofo bulgaro Cvetan Todorov si immerge nella Francia collaborazionista di Vichy e nella dialettica tra consenso e dissenso, collaborazione e resistenza, "terrorismo" e rappresaglia. Ricostruendo le dinamiche che portarono alla strage dei pozzi di Guerry, Todorov fornisce un'innovativa chiave di interpretazione della dialettica violenta tra azioni partigiane e rappresaglie.
