ABSTRACT

During the cold war, Italian neo-fascism had an impressive transnational dimension, which is receiving increasing scholarly attention. The Italian post-war context played a pivotal role in shaping neo-fascist militants’ identity as a proudly marginalized warrior elite: the extent to which this underwent a shift in the transnational context is nonetheless yet to be determined. Adopting a narrative psychology lens, this article explores the transnational experience’s narratives of three former neo-fascist militants (Vincenzo Vinciguerra, Stefano Delle Chiaie, Pierluigi Concutelli). The analysis of their autobiographies allows me to highlight that the transnational experience played a significant role in the construction of some militants’ personal myths, while others tend to diminish it to remain focused on the domestic battle. While the focus is mainly on individual narratives, the texts here analysed shed light on some common elements indicating that operating in a transnational context led to a partial shift in neo-fascist identity.

摘要

在冷战期间，意大利新法西斯主义具有令人印象深刻的跨国维度，受到越来越多的学术关注。意大利战后环境在塑造新法西斯激进分子作为引以为豪的边缘化战士精英的身份方面发挥了关键作用：尽管如此，这在跨国环境中的转变程度仍有待确定。本文采用叙事心理学的视角，探讨了三位前新法西斯激进分子（文森佐·文西格拉、斯特凡诺·戴尔·贾埃、皮耶路易吉·康库泰利）的跨国经历叙事。对他们自传的分析让我能够强调，跨国经历在一些激进分子个人神话的构建中发挥了重要作用，而其他人则倾向于将其削弱以继续关注国内战争。
