  • Impérialisme romain et fascisme, entre adhésion idéologique et opposition à la construction d’un mythe. L’Istituto di Studi Romani et la critique augustéenne

    Open Access•Jan Nelis, Jean-Philippe Bareil•ARTICLE•Cahiers de la Méditerranée•2020

    Cet article examine le rôle de l’Istituto di Studi Romani dans les années précédant le bimillénaire d’Auguste de 1937-1938 en confrontant les activités de l’Istituto, qui répondait pleinement aux exigences idéologiques du régime fasciste, avec un cas rare d’opposition à la propagande autour de la figure d’Octavien-Auguste, celui d’Ettore Ciccotti. L’article montre comment, dans un climat d’intérêt croissant pour la supposée grandeur du passé roma…

  • Back to the Future

    Open Access•Jan Nelis•ARTICLE•Fascism•2014•Cited by: 1•References: 2

    Among the many ‘founding myths’ of Italian Fascism such as those regarding its relationship to the First World War, one element stood out as key to both its quest for absolute dominion over the Italian peninsula and its historically based self-concept and representation: the idea of present-day Italy as incarnating the spirit and virtuousness of Roman (late Republican and early Imperial) antiquity, creating the image of a Terza Roma , of a ‘third…

  • The Clerical Response to a Totalitarian Political Religion: La Civiltà Cattolica and Italian Fascism

    Open Access•Jan Nelis•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary History•2011•Cited by: 2

    This article offers a close reading of the discourse on Italian fascism within the authoritative Italian Jesuit periodical La Civiltà Cattolica. The author shows that, when confronted with the fascist movement, La Civiltà Cattolica made no moves to oppose the regime, instead positioning itself so as to negotiate with and accommodate the fascist rhetoric. This decision was driven in part by the close alignment between the politics of Catholicism a…

  • Modernist Neo‐classicism and Antiquity in the Political Religion of Nazism: Adolf Hitler as Poietes of the Third Reich 1

    Jan Nelis•ARTICLE•Totalitarian Movements &…•2008

    The debate surrounding the relation between Hitler’s interest in architectural neo‐classicism and his reception of antiquity has often proceeded from the assumption of a deep nostalgia for a (deeply mythicised) classical ‘Aryan’ past and an instinctive drive to use anti‐modernist art for solely propagandistic ends. Whereas some have attempted to invert this causal relationship, the present study situates Hitler’s artistic passion within his ‘biop…

  • Constructing Fascist Identity: Benito Mussolini and the Myth of Romanità

    Jan Nelis•ARTICLE•The Classical World•2007•Cited by: 8

    The idea of a heritage from ancient Rome, or romanità, was central to Italian Fascism. This article analyzes Il Duce Mussolini's discourse on romanità in the forty-four volumes of his Opera Omnia, focusing on key themes such as empire, historical characters, and the grandeur of archaeological remains. It links Mussolini's discourse of romanità to his discourse on the future and to the idea of Fascism as a political religion. It shows that Mussoli…
