A proposito delle subculture politiche

N. 146

Summary - The erosion of the subcultures, the progressive failing of the characteristic traits which in the past decidedly set up the so-called "white" areas against the "red" ones, are the problems faced by the a. Reviewing his own experience as a scholar of electoral phenomena, the a. points out how, starting from the '60s, the catholic and socialist traditions have gradually let themselves be pervaded by the distinctive characteristics of the "dominating" national culture, gradually absorbing the concepts of liberal stamp. At present the identification elements of the one and of the other subculture are reduced to a minimum, even if each of them still retains some peculiarities that it would be worth-while examining more closely.
