Into Italy, into the Modern

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 1 –22

[Any visitor to the picturesque Umbrian town of Spoleto, elegantly tossed against the Apennine foothills, will eventually find him or herself in front of the Cathedral of Saint Mary Assumption. Before entering, it is impossible not to contemplate the façade. The most striking feature of the upper...

Liberal Modernity

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 23 –55

[Liberalism is not an Italian invention, far from it. Such a claim to Italian primacy within political thought is possible to attribute to other ‘-isms’, as we shall indeed argue in our subsequent discussions of Catholic, Fascist, and Socialist modernities. Not only is modern liberal thought not...
Available

Catholic Modernities: Epics of a Christian Nation

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 57 –90

[As we have argued in the opening chapter, Italian political thought and cultural identity is best analyzed within a theoretical framework of multiple and competing modernities. Approaching modernity as a more open-ended ‘interpretative space’ also—and significantly—implies to engage the both...
Available

Gramsci and the Italian Road to Socialist Modernity

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 91 –118

[If Liberals had struggled to carve out an Italian particularity on the road to political modernity, mainly with reference to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, and if Catholics had started their own elaboration of an antirevolutionary modernity grounded in Christianity and Italian...
Available

Fascist Modernity

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 119 –148

[Fascism is an Italian invention. It is an Italian word, an Italian ideology, Italy’s gift to the entire world—so Mussolini liked to see it—a unique, progressive model of modernization. This chapter will discuss how Fascism tried to come to grips with Italy’s road to modernity through the...
Available

Frictions of Modernity: World War II as Historical Juncture

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 149 –177

[In the first half of the twentieth century, Liberalism, Catholicism, Socialism–Communism, and Fascism had developed as different articulations of a shared attempt to outline a particular Italian road to modernity. In so doing, these major-isms and ideological–social forces had laid the ground...
Available

Competing Modernities: Postwar Italy and the Struggle over a Divided Past

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 179 –208

[Italy emerged from WWII as it had done from the nineteenth-century unification process and the Great War: deeply split and profoundly uncertain of its identity and future. Amid the wreckage of the Fascist regime and the visceral anger directed at those deemed responsible for the catastrophe—as...
Available

Fragile Modernities: Critique, Crisis, and Emancipatory Politics

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 209 –245

[The twenty-year period from 1948 to 1968 was one of relative stability for Italy. The competing modernities of Communism and Christian Democracy described in the previous chapter developed in some sort of antagonistic harmony, and within an institutional (and constitutional) framework that was...
Available

After Modernity? Nationhood in the Post-Cold War Era

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 247 –269

[France had its political revolution. England had its industrial revolution. Italy had neither. But Italy had history. And from that history repeated attempts were made to articulate a culture-specific pathway to the modern. This happened as a constant negotiation over nationhood, attempting to...
Available

What If We Were Never Modern?

Forlenza, Rosario; Thomassen, Bjørn

Pages: 271 –281

[The study of Italian political history is a privileged prism for the unfolding of alternative and sometimes competing modernities. The figurations of political thought and culture that emerged in twentieth-century Italy can be seen as a microcosm of Europe’s twentieth-century age of ideologies....
