La Penna, D. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4197-0041 (2016) The rise and fall of Benedetto Croce: intellectual positionings in the Italian cultural field 1944-1947. Modern Italy, 21 (2). pp. 139-155. ISSN 1469-9877 doi: 10.1017/mit.2016.5

Abstract/Summary

This article evaluates the discourse developed around Benedetto Croce in the Italian cultural periodical press between 1944 and 1947 and it discusses the forms of adversarial discourse and the agents involved in the anti-Croce polemics that unfolded in the Communist party’s official cultural journal Rinascita. Specifically, this article focuses on a selection of intellectuals who moved away from Crocean idealism to embrace Marxism in order to investigate how their conversion was presented in Rinascita.
