Abstract/Index
A conceptual and comparative framework: political religion and “sacralisation of politics”. Emilio Gentile’s theory of the sacralisation of politics. Media, ritual and the manufacture of mythic authority in modern political systems. Comparative positioning: fascist Italy within interwar regimes. Istituto LUCE as state media infrastructure in the 1920s–30s. Institutional origins, mandates and integration into the fascist state. The newsreel as a political technology: production, distribution and audiences. Genres and recurrent themes in LUCE output. Mechanisms of sacralization in LUCE’s visual language. Ritualization of power: staging, choreography and collective participation. Iconography of the Duce: charisma, body politics and providential leadership. Mythic time and national destiny: empire, sacrifice and redemption narratives. Comparative implications and limits: effectiveness, reception and legacy. Comparative case discussion: LUCE alongside other propaganda systems. Reception and social penetration: persuasion, compliance and ambiguity. Afterlives: memory, archive and the durability of fascist political myth.
