Autoritarismo(s), clases medias y el problema de las generaciones: Algunas claves de la sociología de Gino Germani

Abstract

This critical note aims to present and describe the unpublished text of the Italian-Argentinean sociologist Gino Germani “Ceti e generazioni alla vigilia della Marcia su Roma” in the coordinates of the problematizations that weaved his sociology. To do this, he takes up three related questions: the modern forms of authoritarianism, the political behavior of middle classes and that of italian youth. It also shows how, through this recurrent thematization, Gino Germani drew a comparative exercise between Italy and Argentina that illuminated different aspects of modernization processes and their tensions.
