Qualestoria and fascism
Federico Tenca Montini
Abstract
Qualestoria represents a privileged space for observing the development of the Regional Institute for the History of the Resistance and the Contemporary Age in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, as well as the changes that have occurred in the public discussion of the Trieste area.
The topic of fascism periodically appears in the magazine and is covered in two different phases. In the first years of publication of the magazine, this topic was often covered and was related to organized right-wing political violence. That first phase was exhausted at the end of the seventies due to the stance of the Institute president Miccoli who was against the anti-fascist militant approach in historiography. From that moment on, we witness an increase in the expertise of articles and the application of practices that characterize scientific publications (double-blind peer review, introduction of abstracts, etc.). Such a turn in the work of the Institute did not mean the complete abolition of cultural civil discussion and relations with Trieste; namely, it moved into separate units (through the publication of short anthologies, reviews of exhibitions and events) published separately from real scientific works. In this way, fascism, not only due to the reduction of the appearance of neo-fascism in everyday life, but also the appearance of new and more modern topics interesting for historical research in the coming decades, was reduced to just one of a series of topics covered in the magazine in accordance with the principles of modern historiographical approaches.
