Fascists in Democracy. Networks, Imaginaries and Political Practices
FBK Aula Piccola
Fondazione Bruno Kessler - Polo delle Scienze Umane e sociali
How did the fascists reactivate after the Second World War? And what were the reactions of the democracies? The intervention will mainly reflect on these questions by examining the European panorama as a whole with a comparative and transnational approach and looking with a privileged eye at the Italian case. It is precisely this scenario that more than any other shows the fragility of the self-representation of fascists, inclined to portray themselves as exiles in their homeland, as well as the difficulties and embarrassments of democracies in countering a still alive ideology whose circulation certainly could not be arrested with the sole use of force.
