La notion d'extrémisme est une notion confuse. Censée permettre une classification, elle est surtout une diabolisation de l'adversaire. Mais ce terme polémique oublie souvent de décrire ce qu'il considère comme le Mal absolu. Il faut donc s'efforcer de dissocier, dans le discours politique, les réactions passionnelles et les réflexes idéologiques des menaces objectives, ce qui n'est guère facile. Les incarnations de la condamnation pour extrémisme...

La muerte de Jorge Rafael Videla se inscribe en un decenio marcado por el fallecimiento de numerosos criminales de masa. Ésta sigue a las de Slobodan Milosevic, Augusto Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden o Muamar el Gadafi. En todos los casos, las preguntas que abren estas muertes tan singulares son idénticas, aunque se sitúan en contextos diferentes: ¿cuándo y cómo fallecieron esos criminales? ¿Qué hacer con sus restos? ¿Cómo aprehender...

Mario and the Magician is one of Mann's most political stories. Mann openly criticizes fascism, a choice which later became one of the grounds for his exile to Switzerland following Hitler's rise to power. The magician, Cipolla, is analogous to the looming specter of fascism emergent in that era. The story was especially timely, considering the tensions in Europe when it was written, Mussolini was urging Italians to recapture the glory of the Roman...

A brilliant young historian follows the odyssey of Mussolini's body in an original exploration of the history and legacy of Italian Fascism
Bullet-ridden, spat on, butchered bloody: this was the fate of Il Duce, strung up beside his dead mistress in a Milan square, as reviled in death as he was adored in life. With Italy's defeat in World War II, the cult of Benito Mussolini's physical self was brought to its grotesque denouement by a frenzied, jeering...

Éric Zemmour is an apparent contradiction-widely viewed as a dissident racist, he's a Jewish Algerian Berber whose family comes from North Africa. Even more transgressive for the French political establishment, he views himself as the legitimate heir of Charles de Gaulle-the sanctified World War II resistance leader and founder of the Fifth Republic. But a look at de Gaulle's political history, particularly his policy towards French Algeria in the...
