GRAMSCI E O FASCISMO: UM MAPA DA QUESTÃO

Abstract

This paper aims to locate fascism in the political writings and the Prison Notebooks of Antonio Gramsci. Fascism is considered here as an opportunistic and permanent, counterrevolutionary and rational mobilization of the irrationality of the masses during the interwar crisis. This approach does not close the concept, but proposes an axis to show the imprecise boundaries of fascist regimes, the outlines of historical movements and their stages. The advantage of this approach is that it deals with the historicity of fascist phenomena without abandoning the construction of a comprehensive concept. As we shall see, Antonio Gramsci was a pioneer in this methodology.
