This book focuses on the major role played by intellectual journals within the Italian Left as aggregators of political forces after the events of 1956 had partially disrupted the bipolar balance of the Cold War. Considering that New Left periodicals have rarely been examined collectively as political and intellectual actors in their own right, they have rarely--and only in individual cases--been considered to be central to progressive politics and culture. This work highlights their specific performative function. The first part of the book addresses the blossoming of Marxism and the chronology of the so-called 'long 1968' in Italy. It goes on to examine various types of journals to illustrate how New Left periodicals should be studied in relation to the traditional parties and links with foreign countries. It also draws attention to the moral rather than ideological aspects characterizing the youthful contribution to the New Left before 1968. Finally, the book contextualizes and then deepens the weight of 'Catholic dissent' and its magazines on the New Left, bringing into closer dialogue two fields of scholarship that have often developed separately.
