Since then my work has taken me in several directions, many of them un- expected, and I have benefited from the generosity and critical insights of others along the way. Paul Rabinow, Susanna Bar- rows, Stanley Brandes, and Richard A. Webster supervised my dissertation and afforded me the space to work between disci- plines. Jacqueline Urla, Stephen Kotkin, and Keith Gandal helped me early on to clarify and focus my readings of social technologies. A first trip to Rome and Milan in the summer of 1983 was funded by a Pre-Dissertation Fellowship from the Council for European Studies. My doctoral research, from August 1984 to August 1985, was supported by a grant under the Fulbright- Hays Act and by an International Doctoral Research Fellowship from the Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies. Two further visits to Italy were made possible by the Istituto Lombardo per la Storia del Movimento di Liberazione in Italia. While in Italy, I received graciousassistancefrom the staffsof the Biblioteca Nazionale in Rome; the Archivio Centrale dello Stato, especially Marina Giannetto; the Archivio di Stato di Mi- lano; the Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli; the Istituto Anto- nio Gramsci, especially Marcello Forti; the Fondazione Lelio Basso; and the Istituto Milanese per la Storia della Resistenza e del Movimento Operaio. Several people provided valuable advice on archives, includ- ing Victoria de Grazia, Renzo De Felice, Alberto Aquarone, Piero Melograni, Luisa Passerini, Simona Colarizi, Emilio Gen- tile, and Timothy Mason. My research in Milan was especially facilitated by Giorgio Rumi, Giulio Sapelli, Ada Marchetti, Ivano Granata, Luisa Dodi Osnaghi, Graziella Tonon, Duccio Bigazzi, Luigi Bruti Liberati, Edoardo Bressan, Giuliana Cis- laghi, and Gianfranco Petrillo. ix This content downloaded from 128.119.168.112 on Mon, 01 Aug 2016 08:16:42 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms
