Anti-modernismo di destra (Francia, Germania, Italia)

Right-wing European culture has been constantly crossed, since the last years of the 19th century, by anti-modernist tendencies. From religious to anti-metropolitan and ‘traditionalist’ trends, from medievalish myths (guilds) to the harsh critique of United States and Soviet Union’s industrial process, everything concurred to create, on an intellectual and literary level, the image of a possible ethnic-cultural resistance to an incumbent modernity. This article presents a vast recon of this phenomenon in France, Germany, and Italy, analyzing both the literary production and the essayistic one of right-wing culture of the first half of the 20th century.
