This volume gathers authors who wrote important works in the fields
of the history of ideology, the comparative study of dictatorship,
and intellectual history. The book is a state of the art
reassessment and analysis of the ideological commitments of
intellectuals and their relationships with dictatorships during the
twentieth century. The contributions focus on turning points or
moments of rupture as well as on the continuities. Though its focus
is on an East-West comparison in Europe, there are texts also
dealing with Latin America, China, and the Middle East, giving the
book a global outlook. The first part of the book deals with
intellectuals' involvement with communist regimes or parties; the
second looks at the persistence of utopianism in the trajectory of
intellectuals who had been associated earlier in their lives with
either communism or fascism; the third considers the role of
intellectuals in national imaginations from the left or the right;
and the fourth links late twentieth century phenomena to current
phenomena, such as the persistence of anti-Semitism in the West,
the slow erosion of the values upon which the EU is built, the
quagmire in Iraq, and China's rise in the post-Cold War era. The
collection provides a comprehensive overview of intellectual
genealogies and dictatorial developments.
