No full textI film peplum e la fine del mito fascista della romanità
No full textAs both classicist and historians have shown, the myth of romanità was one of the key elements at the core of Italian nationalism and Fascist ideology, that in 1937 found its most famous cinematographic expression through the film Scipione l’Africano. After the fall of the Fascist regime and the end of the war, and during the 1950s, new peplum films produced new Italian representations of ancient Rome. These new movies reversed the old, Fascist exaltation of Roman imperial power into a Catholic condemnation of it as a violent and anti-Christian dictatorship. An historical analysis of post-war Italian films on ancient Rome can therefore enlighten the change in perception of totalitarianism and national identity in Italian society. It can moreover study the post-Fascist transition by showing changes and continuities in culture after the fall of the regime. Among the Fascist continuities, the analysis of post-war historical films clearly shows the persistence of a colonialist, racially white national identity as well as a Catholic and Italian self-representation as peaceful and innocent victims of Fascism. The condemnation of totalitarianism coexists therefore with the lack of a public admission of guilt in regards of Fascism, colonialism, racism and war.  
Jérémy Guedj et Barbara Meazzi (dir.), La culture fasciste entre latinité et méditerranéité (1880-1940)
Full text linkEn 2017, les Cahiers de la Méditerranée ont publié sous forme de dossier les actes d’un colloque international tenu à l’Université Nice Sophia Antipolis les 26 et 27 novembre 2015. Ce dossier, maintenant en libre accès en ligne, recueille des recherches qui étudient le fascisme d’un point de vue transnational, à travers les idées de latinité et méditerranéité. En utilisant un imaginaire historique et géographique lié à l’Antiquité, ces deux notions expriment une « communauté imaginée » (Ander..
Razzismo e arte. Le polemiche storico-artistiche di Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli sotto il fascismo
No full textThe “aquiline race”. The Etruscans between Fascist racism, Nazi racism and the Catholic Church, in “Italia Contemporanea"
No full textInternational audienceThis article aims to demonstrate that the debate about the origin of the Etruscans can help identify the scientific and ideological inspiration behind Fascist racist theories and explain their relationship with the Catholic Church and Nazi forms of racism. In particular, I argue that the disagreements about the racial identity of the Etruscan people are exemplary of the distinction between "biological" racism and anti-Christian, non-biological racism. The article thus shows that Alfred Rosenberg's negative representation of the Etruscans - aimed at denying the racial legitimacy of the Catholic Church - was adopted, in Italy, by anti-Christian Fascist philosophers such as Julius Evola and Giulio Cogni; the "biological" racist group behind the journal La Difesa della Razza, instead, promoted Eugen Fischer's "Etruscologist" theory of the "aquiline race" to include the Etruscans in Italian racial history and avoid an ideological struggle with the Church
Erminio Fonzo, Il mondo antico negli scritti di Antonio Gramsci
Full text linkCes dernières années ont vu un nouvel intérêt pour la pensée d’Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937) dans les études sur l’Antiquité et sa réception. Après un colloque tenu en 2017 à Newcastle sur Antonio Gramsci and the Ancient World, dont les actes sont en cours de publication, et la fondation en 2018 d’un Gramsci Research Network dédié à ce thème, un ouvrage étudiant la relation du théoricien marxiste italien avec l’Antiquité est paru en 2019. Son auteur, Erminio Fonzo, chercheur en histoire contemp..
