PRESS RELEASE (02/27/2017)
Wednesday, March 1, a Loano, will close the series of seminars “Brown Zones - social-nationalisms and the crisis of democracy”, organized by the’A.N.P.I of Loano in collaboration with the Stella del Carmo Association, under the auspices of the Municipality of Loano.
The last public meeting of character historical and political will be dedicated to the theme “Me and Others”.
As of the 9 p.m. at Civic Library, Prof. John Zanelli will explore the problematic relationship between the vocation to internationalism of original socialism and the materialization of overt nationalistic exaltations even in that political field and the Luigi Vassallo will examine the relationship between globalization and the defense of national identity.
The evening will include the introduction of topics by professors Zanelli e Vassallo and then the interventions of the participants.
“The seminar series “Brown Zones - social-nationalisms and the crisis of democracy”-the organizers explain- was born out of a desire to stimulate the formation of critical consciousness through participatory discussion. The theme of the evenings of this cycle is the social-nationalism, a political tendency that associates the exaltation of the nation with the social question. This strategy has historically belonged to Nazi - fascisms and is renewed in the weave of the discourse of today's populisms. An attempt will be made to show that the cyclical reoccurrence of social-nationalism is a symptom of the crisis of democracy, then as now.”
