This article investigates how the Ethiopian war was represented by Epoca – the most prolific Italian weekly news magazine for illustrated reportage in postwar Italy – during the last phase of Italian colonialism (1950–60). The analysis focuses specifically on two photographic commemorations published on the twentieth (1955) and twenty-fifth anniversary (1960). The aim of this contribution is to examine these iconotexts in order to display how the interplay between images and words transmitted a selective and codified memory whose path mainly moved from nostalgia to pride while remaining characterised by a complete rejection of the feeling of shame. This representation was not even questioned by the references to those elements that will be considered, in the long-term, as evidence of the brutality of this colonial enterprise: those signals appear not to have been removed, but rather silenced and not truly comprehended, preventing the sense of shame from taking root in Epoca until 1995.

否认羞耻：新闻杂志 Epoca 对埃塞俄比亚战争的陈述和年度纪念（1950-60）

本文调查了埃塞俄比亚战争是如何由时代报– 在意大利殖民主义的最后阶段（1950-60 年），战后意大利最多产的意大利图文报道新闻周刊。分析特别关注在 20 周年（1955 年）和 25 周年（1960 年）发表的两张纪念摄影作品。这项贡献的目的是检查这些图标文本为了展示图像和文字之间的相互作用如何传递一种选择性和编码的记忆，其路径主要从怀旧转向骄傲，同时保持完全拒绝羞耻感的特征。这种表述甚至没有因为提及那些将被长期视为这一殖民企业残暴行为证据的因素而受到质疑：这些信号似乎并未被移除，而是被压制且未被真正理解，防止羞耻感扎根时代报直到 1995 年。
