"Os Mussolini não nascem todos os dias". A revista Dinámica Social: um caso de neofascismo transatlântico

Book Chapter

Summary *

A number of studies have examined the influence of Italian fascism in Argentine nationalist intellectual currents during the interwar period. This study, in contrast, is centred on the second post-war period and the fall of Italian fascism. The last Nationalist Fascist Party´s secretary, Carlo Scorza, was one of the fascists who arrived in Buenos Aires illegally. Once in Argentina, he founded the "Centro de Estudios Económico-sociales" (CEES), which, since 1950 and until 1965 edited a monthly review called Dinámica Social. This paper will explore the review Dinámica Social. The focus will be put on the review as a whole and on a number of articles which have been chosen because of their relevance to the subject. The main objective of this study is to trace the position of Scorza and the circle of intellectuals who participated in the CEES and who collaborated with Dinámica Social towards Italian neofascism and fascism. It will be argued that there was a neofascist political culture which transcended national limits and traveled through the Atlantic Ocean. Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
