Abstract

This essay, working between history and social sciences, tries to define the essence of those collective figures that represent evil: from witches to Assassins, from Thugs to mafiosi and terrorists. These are changing figures that move in the collective imagination and drag with them the narratives of evil symbolically characterized and, so to speak, condensed through a process, often politically characterized, aimed at the production of social types. They are therefore what we might call «typified symbolic configurations». The social sciences, however, do not seem to have offered interpretative models suitable for conceptualizing them. Therefore, to understand their nature, it may be useful to turn to history and go back to those processes of identification and repression that have configured them; and also, to the transformations undergone over time through which it is possible to follow their often tumultuous evolution.

33. Una giornata particolare: il 9 termidoro.

Author

Benigno, Francesco

Abstract

Colin Jones' volume reconstructs the day of 9 Thermidor in Paris, a crucial date marking the end of the period of the so-called Terror and the opening of a new political phase, that of the Directory. Jones uses an engaging technique, recounting the life of the city during those twenty-four hours in detail, with each chapter addressing one hour of that day. This article examines the benefits and limitations of this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

L’aconteixement històric de les Vespres Sicilianes, que constituí una revolta contra la tutela del rei francès Carles I d’Anjou, ha estat objecte de la consideració de molts historiadors italians. Tenint presents les lectures que d’aquest succés en feren, entre d’altres, els historiadors decimonònics, l’objectiu principal del present article és estudiar l’obra de l’historiador siscentista Filadelfo Mugnos, que en la seva I raguagli historici del Vespro Siciliano (Palerm, 1645) presentà la seva visió dels fets. Òbviament, Mugnos partí de la visió d’autors pretèrits com Tommaso Fazello o Francesco Maurolico i escriví la seva obra en un context històric i polític en el qual calia reinterpretar i reescriure allò que s’havia esdevingut quatre segles abans., The great event of the Sicilian Vespers, which was a revolt against the tutelage of the French king Charles of Anjou, has been a topic of reflection for many Italian historians. After taking into account the interpretations made by nineteenthcentury historians, the purpose of this article is to study the work of the historian Filadelfo Mugnos, who in his I raguagli historici del Vespro Siciliano (Palerm, 1645) gave his vision of the facts. Mugnos obviously drew on past historians such as Tommaso Fazello and Francesco Maurolico, and wrote his work in a historical and political context in which he felt necessary to reinterpret and rewrite what had taken place four centuries earlier.

45. Le origini di un sogno.

Author

Benigno, Francesco

Abstract

The collection of texts edited by Leonardo Rapone on the intellectual itinerary of Rosario Villari offers an opportunity to reflect on the path of a historian of great importance in Italian intellectual life in the second half of the 20th century. It is a text that not only identifies Villari’s contribution to the national intellectual debate and to the Southern Question, but it also discusses his specific interpretative contribution to the history of the Kingdom of Naples, and in particular to the 17th century and Masaniello’s revolt, from the publication of La rivolta antispagnola a Napoli in 1967 to Un sogno di libertà in 2012.

46. Build the figure of the 'valido': the 'Ritratto' of Virgilio Malvezzi

Author

Benigno, Francesco and Benigno, Francesco

Abstract

The publication, in 1635, of Il ritratto del privato politico cristiano by Virgilio Malvezzi, soon translated throughout Europe, constitutes an important reflection on the change that took place in the structure of politics with the affirmation of the valimiento system. The essay reconstructs the intellectual parable that will lead the Bolognese marquis to elaborate the essay, trying to highlight the specific contribution of Malvezzi to the understanding of the figure of the minister-favorite. The previous works are examined (Discorsi sopra Cornelio Tacito, 1622; Romulo, 1629; Tarquinio il Superbo, 1632; Davide perseguitato, 1634) and their strong realistic charge that tries to overcome the abstract precepts of the specula principis to probe –through the story of the lives of rulers– the limits of their action. It is this path, marked by the dialectic with the tacitism and the neo-stoic perspective, that allows Malvezzi to reason very perceptively on the figure of the Count-Duke. The text is not an abstract delineation of Olivares’ virtues but an unscrupulous reflection on the meaning of prudence and the domination of passions in a context dominated by the struggle for power., La publicación, en 1635, de Il ritratto del privato politico cristiano de Virgilio Malvezzi, traducido enseguida en toda Europa, ofrece una reflexión importante sobre el cambio que se produjo en la estructura de la política con el afianzamiento del sistema del valimiento. Este artículo reconstruye la parábola intelectual que llevará al marqués boloñés a elaborar dicho ensayo, procurando dar nueva luz a la contribución específica que hizo Malvezzi a la comprensión de la figura del ministro-favorito. Se examinan las obras precedentes (Discorsi sopra Cornelio Tacito, 1622; Romulo, 1629; Tarquinio il Superbo, 1632; Davide perseguitato, 1634) y su fuerte carga realista que trata de superar la preceptiva abstracta de los specula principis para sondear –a través del relato de la vida de los gobernantes– los límites de sus acciones. Es este recorrido, marcado por la dialéctica con el tacitismo y la perspectiva neoestoica, el que permite a Malvezzi razonar con agudeza sobre la figura del conde duque. Se trata de un texto que no es mero elogio abstracto de las virtudes de Olivares, sino una reflexión libre de prejuicios sobre el significado de la prudencia y del dominio de las pasiones en un contexto dominado por la lucha por el poder.
