Great to see that Fiume o Morte! won Best Documentary at the recent European Film Awards.

Worth watching for how it shows nationalism as something staged, messy, and oddly theatrical.

Unlocking the potential of videogames in Politics and IR teaching (and beyond) | Digital Learning In this case study Dr Jane Kirkpatrick shows how videogames can be used to support experiential learning of complex social and political ideas.

Just published a piece on the UWE Digital Learning blog on using commercial videogames to help students grapple with complexity, perspective-taking, and decision-making in Politics & IR (and beyond).

Review - Fiume o Morte! Irreverent and incisive, Fiume o Morte! reimagines D’Annunzio’s Fiume venture, exposing the theatrical roots of nationalist politics and the contested memories left behind.

Just reviewed Fiume o Morte! @e-international.bsky.social — a sharp, darkly comic documentary on the 1919 occupation of Fiume and the power of nationalist myth-making.

A great watch for anyone interested in nationalism, the post-WWI period, or the politics of memory.
