Contemporary critical theory has customarily been dominated by French and German thought. However, a new wave of Italian thinkers has broken ground for new theoretical inquiries. This book seeks to explain and defend the new wave of Italian critical though, providing context and substance behind the praxis of this emerging school.
In the last decade or so, a wave of Italian thinkers has broken ground for new theoretical inquiries that poignantly interpret the turn to life that characterizes present philosophical research. Italian Reactionary Thought offers a critical intervention into this trend by investigating the centrality of the concept of origin in twentieth-century Italian culture from a feminist perspective. In the wake of the crisis of Western culture, Italy gave rise to fascism as a savage vitalism that incorporated the archaic as it expropriated the feminine dimension of origin. With a critique of the works of theorists Giovanni Papini, Romano Bilenchi, Curzio Malaparte, and a novel appraisal of Carlo Levi, Andrea Righi boldly suggests that it may be possible to understand mortality without turning it into a technology of oppression.
