Théoriser la violence politique à l'extrême droite en Italie

Abstract

The paper seeks to reconstruct the Italian extreme right-wing theorizations of violence from the early 1950’s to the beginning of the 1980’s. It aims to show the existing gap during the whole period between right-wing ideological theorizations and the violent actions conducted by its militants. The extreme right theories, the models of symbolical violence and the main intellectual figures imply a violent inner background, a key point in right-wing militants’ identity. However, from 1969, violence is always presented as a defensive mean, and contributes to build a right-wing martyrology.
