H tte es keine Mitsuyo Maedas gegeben, mit der Betonung auf dem Plural Maedas, w re das Jiu-Jitsu im Lauf des 20. Jahrhunderts vermutlich in Vergessenheit geraten. Das berleben des wertvollen und einzigartigen Wissens dieser Kampfkunst haben wir zahlreichen Meistern zu verdanken, die in jungen Jahren um die vorletzte Jahrhundertwende ihre Heimat Japan f r eine ungewisse Zukunft im Westen verliessen. Sie alle nahmen einen beschwerlichen Weg auf sich, sei es um ein nach der Meiji-Restauration ab 1868 sich rapide ver nderndes Japan hinter sich zu lassen und bessere Perspektiven f r ihr zuk nftiges Leben zu schaffen, oder sei es, weil sie wie Maeda von ihren Lehrmeistern ausdr cklich in die weite Welt hinaus geschickt worden waren um die sanfte Kunst zu verbreiten. Das ist meine Geschichte des Jiu-Jitsu das aus Japan, nach Europa und nach Brasilien kam, um sich sp ter in die ganze Welt zu verbreiten. -Franco Vacirca Garcia

Unlike in English and French cultural fields, where fashion during WWII is widely debated, in Italy the relationship between fashion and Fascism is an under-researched topic, separated from the study of Fascist institutions and bureaucracy. The behind-the-scene history of the fashion magazine Bellezza, the Italian Vogue founded in 1941, has never been submitted to scholarly attention. Its utopian function in defining a new culture of fashion and code of glamour contributed to the totalitarian project of building a ‘new Italian woman’. The current volume fills this gap, using the case of Bellezza as a kaleidoscope through which to examine Italian history and culture drawing on new primary sources and extraordinary iconography.
