Sports editor of the Corriere della Sera, Emilio De Martino was one of Fascist Italy's most vitriolic sports journalists and prolific authors of sporting fiction. Analysis of his three novels for children published from 1941 to 1943 will consider how his works contributed, first, to the regime's attempt to forge and reinvent both real and imagined traditions through literature, and, second, to Fascism's drive to create a virile, physically and mentally strong youth. Offering a new perspective on Fascism's investment in and exploitation of sport, this article will reveal how a variety of the regime's policies, ideals, myths and goals were propagated and transmitted through fictional stories and adventures. The increasingly radical content and narratives will also show the regime's growing frustration at society's failure to respond to its mobilisation campaigns and increasing desperation following Italy's disastrous entry into the Second World War. Rather than hastening the maturity of young people to create a warrior race ready to risk all for the regime, Fascism's use of ‘Boy's Own’ heroes and fantasy space will be seen to have contributed to the illusion of strength that young Italians could not match and readiness that the regime could not offer.

一个“男孩自己的”男孩区:埃米利奥·德·马蒂诺 (Emilio De Martino) 的儿童体育小说中法西斯男人的塑造

作为Corriere della Sera 的体育编辑,Emilio De Martino 是法西斯意大利最尖刻的体育记者之一,也是多产的体育小说作者之一。对他 1941 年至 1943 年出版的三部儿童小说的分析将考虑他的作品如何做出贡献:首先,该政权试图通过文学塑造和重塑真实和想象的传统,其次,法西斯主义推动创造一个有男子气概的身体和精神强大的青年。本文为法西斯主义对体育的投资和开发提供了新的视角,揭示了该政权的各种政策、理想、神话和目标是如何通过虚构故事和冒险传播和传播的。越来越激进的内容和叙述也将表明该政权对社会越来越失望” 意大利灾难性地加入第二次世界大战后,其未能对其动员活动做出反应,并且越来越绝望。法西斯主义对“男孩自己的”英雄和幻想空间的使用将被视为造成了年轻意大利人无法比拟的力量幻觉,而不是加速年轻人的成熟以创造一个准备为政权冒险的战士种族,政权无法提供的准备。
