This article analyzes forms of political violence in the area of the former Austrian Littoral in the first years after the Great War. This period was characterized by extreme political instability, economic insecurity and violence. The question of how different societies managed to interact despite volatile and hostile political conditions is of enor-mous importance to the history of the region. Based on archival research the essay will investigate questions related to ruptures and continuity of violence before and after 1918, forms of military and paramilitary violence and the role of the new Italian authorities in the management of violence until the beginning of the Fascist regime.

In November 1918, at the end of World War I, the new Italian authorities arrested several persons in the territory of Venezia Giulia, Rijeka (Fiume) and some parts of Dalmatia and interned some of them in the interior of Italy. A detailed examination of many documents and lists that are kept in Roman and Trieste archives reveal that around 850 civilians were interned, including women. Internments after the First World War in the Slovenian/Croatian-Italian contact area have still not received in-depth analysis; even less is known about the internments of local women. This paper fills this gap by systematically analysing this topic.

The article deals with anti-fascist operations in the Idrija-Cerkno region between 1927 and 1931. It is primarily focused on the testimonies of some of the lesser-known members of Gorizia section of TIGR, particularly those of Srečko Logar. His case-study serves to analyse the state violence through police and judicial apparatus. Multiple hearings, imprisonment, censorship and restriction of postal correspondence, police surveillance of family members during the investigation and after his release from prison are just some of the forms of state violence, which Srečko Logar has experienced. Similar forms of violence have also been, to a greater or lesser extent, experienced by other political prisoners from Venezia Giulia.

During the First World War, the lack of food became a burning issue in many European towns. Everyday urban spaces were transformed into important points of destabilization and resistance as well as political venues in which, as consumers and housewives, women importantly participated. By using a variety of sources, especially court records, and by applying the concept of “moral economy” this paper analyzes how the women of Trieste, in particular by participating in riots, demonstrations and other smaller illegal actions related to food, fought against war shortages..

The article analyses Slovenian history textbooks from the viewpoint of representations of antifascist movement in the former Julian March. The survey provides interesting insight into the development of Slovenian history textbooks in two different socio-political systems. The first post-war history textbooks did not address the history of Slovenes living on the Italian side of the Rapallo border nor fascist violence committed against them. The perception of Slovenes living beyond their motherland's borders started to change in the 1970s and the 1980s, i.e. during the two decades that witnessed the boom of scientific historiography of fascism and antifascism in the former Julian March, which shed light on and raised awareness of this chapter in Slovenian history, however, in history textbooks comprehensive discussions on antifascist groups of various ideological and political origins took place only after 1991.
