Abstract

This article explores cultures of militancy in public space among currents of the revolutionary left in France, Italy and West Germany during the ‘red decade’. It shows how radicals embraced convergent strategic perspectives, discourses on violence and insubordinate practices for confronting the police. However, patterns of militancy subsequently diverged along national lines in the face of different experiences of neo-fascist violence, domestic social conflict, and legacies of armed resistance and civil war. In particular, the relatively frequent use of lethal force by Italian police in defence of public order motivated a current of the Italian revolutionary left to endorse the use of firearms during protests. Across national experiences, domestic protest policing conditioned the use of force by protestors and the transformation – or not – of protestors into terrorists.
“权力在街头”:1968年至1979年法国、意大利和西德的抗议和军事活动
本文探讨了“红色十年”期间法国、意大利和西德革命左派在公共空间中的战斗文化。它展示了激进分子如何接受趋同的战略观点、关于暴力的言论和对抗警察的不服从行为。然而,面对新法西斯暴力、国内社会冲突以及武装抵抗和内战的遗留问题的不同经历,战斗模式随后沿着国家路线出现了分歧。特别是,意大利警方为维护公共秩序而相对频繁地使用致命武力,促使意大利革命左派支持在抗议活动中使用枪支。根据各国的经验,国内抗议警察的条件是抗议者使用武力,以及抗议者是否转变为恐怖分子。

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
