This course will introduce students to scholarly debates on Fascism, conceived as a complex historical phenomenon that remains to this day a relevant subject for History, Politics, and Cultural Studies.
We will departure from more traditional/orthodox frameworks stemming from Political History (which usually examine the nature and typology of fascist family regimes; its ways of seizing power; the intellectual genesis of the different fascist experiences; the analysis of fascist leaders and sociopolitical elites, etc.), and explore, instead, the social and cultural perspective on Fascism, focusing on the daily experience of ordinary people under its rule. We will pay special attention to the relations between “public policies” shaped by political and institutional structures and the social attitudes of people under fascist regimes.
Our course program might be slightly modified from one academic year to another with the aim of allowing students to get acquainted with the most recent discussions and research developments on international Fascism. The subject chronology will essentially coincide with the Interwar period. However, students are welcomed to explore topics such as the neofascim phenomenon or the links between past fascist experiences and official memory policies in the present.
