¿QUIÉNES FUERON LOS VOLUNTARIOS?udIdentità, motivazioni, linguaggi e vissuto quotidiano dei volontari italiani nella guerra civile spagnola

摘要

This study had the objective of reconstructing motivations, identity construction and political- ideological paths, the daily life and the tensions ideals, although in opposite perspectives, of the Italian volunteers that engaged Spanish civil war in the Republican front inside of the International Brigades, both in troops sent by Mussolini in support of Franco's militias. Taking a cue from the most recent and innovative areas of Italian and Spanish historiography, it is aimed to build a path analysis aimed at critically retrace the events and actions of the Italian volunteers of both sides, from the study of their subjectivity.udSimilarly, through the intersection of archival sources, the press and memoirs, has deepened since the data determined by the influence of political myth, such as the Popular Front for the anti-communism for the fascist volunteers, both served as an element of identification and cohesion for those fighters.udIn addition, this investigation has to go beyond the point of view of officers, politicians and intellectuals to try to penetrate into the everyday life of these soldiers, from moments of elation for victories and military commitment, to having to relate with the difficulties and brutality of a conflict engaged in a foreign land in a manner and for different reason.
