A Ruota Libera Con Rossana Rossanda A ruota libera con Rossana Rossanda il gruppo di riflessione Prospettive Socialiste vi invita all'incontro con la nota scrittrice, politica e co-fondatrice de «Il manifesto» mercoledi 4 maggio, ore 18:00 Biblioteca cantonale, Bellinzona Presentano: Anna Biscossa e Franco Cavalli Nata a Pola nel 1924. Fra il 1937 e il 1940 frequentò il Liceo Classico Manzoni di Milano e anticipò di un anno l'esame di maturità. Fu allieva del filosofo italiano Antonio Banfi, giovanissima partecipò alla Resistenza come partigiana e, al termine della Seconda guerra mondiale, si iscrisse al Partito Comunista Italiano. In breve tempo, grazie anche alla sua profonda cultura, venne nominata da Palmiro Togliatti responsabile della politica culturale del PCI. Nel 1963 venne eletta per la prima volta alla Camera dei deputati. Nel 1968 pubblicò un piccolo saggio, intitolato L'anno degli studenti, in cui affermava la sua adesione al movimento della contestazione giovanile, sviluppatosi proprio in quell'anno. Contraria al socialismo reale dell'Unione Sovietica, insieme a Luigi Pintor, Valentino Parlato e Lucio Magri contribuì alla nascita de il manifesto, che, inizialmente, fu anche un partito, oltre che un quotidiano. Nonostante il parere contrario di Enrico Berlinguer, la Rossanda fu radiata dal PCI a seguito del XII Congresso nazionale svoltosi a Bologna. Nel 1972 il Manifesto partito ottenne solo lo 0,8% dei voti, e, anche a causa della sconfitta elettorale, si unificò con il Partito di Unità Proletaria, cioè con le parti del PSIUP e MPL che non avevano accettato di confluire nel PCI o nel PSI dopo la sconfitta elettorale del 1972, dando vita al PdUP per il Comunismo, di cui fu cofondatrice. Dopo essere stata direttrice de il Manifesto giornale, abbandonò la politica attiva per dedicarsi principalmente al giornalismo e alla letteratura, senza però abbandonare il dibattito politico e la riflessione sul movimento operaio e sul movimento femminista italiano. Un occhio particolare merita il suo libro La ragazza del secolo scorso edito da Einaudi nel 2005.

  • Note Alla Fine Del Secolo
    Note alla fine del secolo - Aldo Garzia, 20.06.2017 Saggi. Tra pubblico e privato. «Diari 1988-1994» di Bruno Trentin per le Edizioni Ediesse Non dev’essere stato facile per Marcelle Marie Padovani, storica corrispondente del Nouvel Observateur, decidere di dare via libera alla pubblicazione dei diari di suo marito Bruno Trentin (Pavie 1926-Roma 2007). La scrittura diaristica è infatti per definizione intimista, una sorta di dialogo solitario con se stessi quasi psicanalitico. In più, può svelare tratti dell’autore che stridono con il suo personaggio pubblico, nel caso di Trentin una figura di assoluto prestigio del sindacalismo e della politica europei: giovanissimo partigiano, deputato comunista già nel 1963, poi segretario della Fiom, poi ancora segretario negli anni cruciali 1988-1994 della Cgil e infine per una legislatura parlamentare europeo. Il nome di Trentin è dunque stato legato per decenni alle vicende della Cgil, dove lo aveva chiamato Vittorio Foa all’Ufficio studi nel 1950, animandone l’azione e l’elaborazione. Proprio la forma diaristica dei testi contenuti in Diari 1988-1994 (a cura di Iginio Ariemma, pp. 510, euro 22, edizioni Ediesse) può farli apparire crudi nella forma e nei giudizi che contengono su protagonisti e passaggi della storia della sinistra. Valutazioni lapidarie e più o meno critiche sono riservate a tanti protagonisti di quegli anni, tra cui Pierre Carniti, Luciano Lama, Pietro Ingrao, Rossana Rossanda, Achille Occhetto, Massimo D’Alema, Fausto Bertinotti (a dividerlo verso quest’ultimo ci sono oltre ai rilevanti dissensi politici e di pratica sindacale le diversità di temperamento e di comportamento che lo irritano particolarmente).

  • Il Manifesto E Il PCI, in “Il Calendario Del Popolo”, Numero 587, Maggio 1995
    Il Manifesto e il PCI, in “Il calendario del popolo”, numero 587, maggio 1995 “Il manifesto” e il PCI di Sergio Dalmasso Dai primi anni Sessanta, il PCI si trova davanti a problemi che lo obbligano a riconsiderare, almeno in parte, la propria strategia: l’affermarsi, anche se con ritardi e contraddizioni, di una società capitalistica avanzata e il parallelo sviluppo di un forte ciclo del movimento di classe con inediti protagonisti e modi di essere. Sino ad allora ha retto la gestione di Togliatti che ha costruito un partito unico ed originale all’interno del movimento comunista internazionale. Pur con accentuazioni e svolte (socialfascismo, fronti popolari, svolta di Salerno ed unità nazionale, policentrismo e via nazionale), Togliatti riesce negli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta a legare generazioni ed esperienze politiche diverse, formazioni culturali anche divergenti (dal materialismo dialettico alla cultura liberaldemocratica, dal terzinternazionalismo al crocianesimo). Caratterizzano il “togliattismo” un forte legame con l’URSS da cui pure, dopo il ‘56, la via nazionale si stacca nella proposta di diversi percorsi per giungere al socialismo, e la lettura della Costituzione (da qui le forti polemiche negli anni Sessanta con il Partito comunista cinese) come capace di operare trasformazioni profonde e radicali che introducano “elementi di socialismo” anche all’interno di una società capitalistica, una duttilità che produce una esperienza di massa unica in Europa, un patrimonio di lotte, di impegno, di sofferenze che fanno del PCI un corpo interno alla società italiana, fiero della sua specificità e diversità1. Legittimano questa realtà i successi, le vittorie elettorali, la forte crescita organizzativa non solo del partito, ma anche di tutti gli organismi collaterali, dal sindacato all’UDI, dalle cooperative all’ARCI.

  • Aldo Natoli, Comunista Senza Partito
    Aldo Natoli, comunista senza partito - Aldo Garzia, 28.09.2019 SCAFFALE. Un volume a cura di Ella Baffoni e Peter Kammerer per le edizioni dell’Asino ne ricostruisce il pensiero Aldo Natoli (Messina 1913-Roma 2010), tra i fondatori del Manifesto, radiato dal Comitato centrale del Pci nel 1969 con Rossana Rossanda e Luigi Pintor (altri dirigenti e militanti subiranno la stessa sorte, tra cui i fondatori di questo giornale), era personaggio schivo e autorevole. Per lui parlavano i tre anni trascorsi in carcere a Civitavecchia con Vittorio Foa e Carlo Ginzburg in piena dittatura fascista, l’elezione alla Camera fin dalla prima legislatura nel 1948, gli anni della clandestinità, il lungo periodo in cui è stato segretario della Federazione romana del Pci (dal 1946 al 1954, mitiche le sue battaglie urbanistiche in Campidoglio). INSIEME A ELISEO MILANI (ex segretario della Federazione di Bergamo, pure lui deputato al momento della radiazione), era tra i pochi del gruppo storico del Manifesto ad avere una esperienza di direzione del partito «sul campo e dal vivo». Quel tratto peculiare non l’avevano Luigi Pintor, Luciana Castellina, Valentino Parlato (impegnati prevalentemente nella stampa di partito), né Rossana Rossanda (ha diretto la Sezione culturale nazionale) e né Lucio Magri funzionario a Botteghe oscure presso la Sezione lavoro di massa. Saranno poi proprio Rossanda e Magri a dirigere il manifesto mensile nel 1969. Contro la radiazione si schierarono Cesare Luporini, Lucio Lombardo Radice e Fabio Mussi. Tre gli astenuti: Giuseppe Chiarante, Sergio Garavini e Nicola Badaloni. Ora a restituire la complessità del personaggio Natoli ci pensa il libro Aldo Natoli.

  • La Rivista Del Manifesto
    la rivista del manifesto We publish below the article with which Lucio Magri, the editor of La Rivista del Manifesto, announced the suspension of the journal in December 2004. Magri, who joined the Italian Communist Party in the mid 1950s, soon revealed himself as its most original younger thinker, with critical essays on the Popular Front, the revolutionary party (see nlr i/60, 1970), and a striking book on ’68 in France, Considerazione sui fatti di Maggio. In 1969, he was expelled from the pci along with the group of dissidents—Rossana Rossanda, Luigi Pintor, Luciana Castellina, Aldo Natoli and others—who had founded the journal Il Manifesto, judged a dangerous threat by the leadership. Active in the independ- ent Left and the peace movement over the next two decades (see his articles ‘The Peace Movement and European Socialism’, nlr i/131, 1982, and ‘The European Left between Crisis and Refoundation’, nlr i/189, 1991), Magri became for a number of years one of the leaders of Rifondazione Comunista when the pci split, after jettisoning its name, in 1991. Four years later, he withdrew from the rc when it refused to support the formation of the Dini cabinet, created after the Northern League’s defection from Berlusconi’s first government. In 1996, after a narrow electoral victory, the Centre Left came to power. It was under the Prodi government, initially reliant on the rc’s parliamen- tary support, that the veterans of Il Manifesto, in collaboration with the rc leader Fausto Bertinotti and the former-pci intellectuals Pietro Ingrao and Aldo Tortorella, re-created the monthly journal of the 1960s, now (to distinguish it from the daily) as La Rivista del Manifesto, under Magri’s editorship.

  • Sartre's Political Practice*
    SARTRE'S POLITICAL PRACTICE* by Rossana Rossanda Sartre's political actions, rather than his political thinking, are the subject of these notes: the way he has judged the history through which he has lived, how he chose sides, and why, the people he allied himself with, and those he allies himself with today. It is a limited topic, and an arbitrary one to the extent that a political dimension cannot be peeled away from the overall theoretical endeavour of the French philosopher. And not because every philosophy is at the same time an ideology-consciousness or false consciousness of society; but for the specific reason that Sartre's theoretical endeavour is a reflection upon how man takes his place in history and operates within it. Situation, project, freedom, alienation, violence-the Sartrean themes-are the conceptual material underlying his choices, which, in their turn, continually refer back to his material. And yet, even this material proves really to be a product of political activity in a broad sense, rather than a pure theoretical construct on to which, as a subsequent stage, a practice is overlaid. Sartre's thought constitutes a reaction both to the ignorance, within French culture, of the Hegelian Left, and to the positivist temptations to which the working- class movement is subject: both of which he finds emasculating. Sartre is perfectly aware of this when he affirms that he wished to steer Marxism decisively in an "anti-deterministic" direction: when he says "Marxism", he means this culture, he means what Marx has become in the practice, even in the theoretical practice, of the Communist and non-Communist left, rather than a reconstruction and reappraisal of Marx's original itinerary, in which he has shown relatively little interest, perhaps less than he should have.

  • CLASS and PARTY* Rossana Rossanda IT Has Often Been Said
    CLASS AND PARTY* Rossana Rossanda IT has often been said that one would seek in vain a theory of class or of the party in Marx. This is true; except for the fact that the prob- lem of class is present throughout his work in such abundance and depth as to make possible the reconstruction of the theory which his analysis implies. The case is entirely different in regard to the party. This of course is not because the problem of the "organization" of the working class was ignored by Marx. He confronted that problem as soon as he lost his illusions-immediately after The Holy Family and The German Jdeology-about the efficacy of exclusively intellectual action, divorced from concrete political action inside the working c1ass;l and he reflected upon it between 1845 and 1848, while he was involved in the work of the secret societies and in the German workers' associations, and through his acquaintance with the Utopian Com- munist Weitling. None of these contacts-with the possible exception of the bonds of esteem and occasional action which linked him to Blanqui-led Marx to accept a definite "commitment" : he already had a theoretical position which cut him off radically from the secret societies, with their nebulous programmes, and which also placed him in immediate opposition to Weitling. The question, for him, was a practical one: it was necessary to establish links with the workers, and the fact that the secret societies and their conspiracies tended in those years to assume a proletarian character was much more im- portant for Marx than ideological quarrels with the societies.

  • Valentino Parlato and the Question of the Environment
    Valentino Parlato and the Question of the Environment Giovanna Ricoveri (translated by saed) Much has been said and written, in the sad days of his passing on 2 May 2017, about the extraordinary figure that was Valentino Parlato. He was an important intellectual and a brilliant journalist endowed with the capacity to synthesise issues, balancing profundity with levity. A comrade and gentleman, he thrived in self-irony. Generosity was for him a way of life. He was presumptuously modest, a rare-breed of a free-thinking communist who eschews common-sense rhetoric and ideological traps. This is only to cite a few ways in which comrades and friends have remembered him through the mass media. But here is some history. Valentino was born in Tripoli, Libya, in 1931, from a family originating from the province of Agrigento, Sicily. At age 20, in 1951, he was kicked out of Libya, then a British protectorate, because of his communist militancy, and repatriated to Italy. Following his jurisprudence studies at the University of Rome, thanks to his parents’ support, he worked first at L’Unità newspaper (founded by Antonio Gramsci) and afterwards for Rinascita, the glorious Italian Communist Party (PCI) weekly edited by Palmiro Togliatti. He worked for the weekly until he was expelled from the PCI in 1969 for having signed onto the new editorial initiative of Il Manifesto. Il Manifesto is an independent communist daily that first started as a monthly. It was founded by a group of intellectuals, among whom Luigi Pintor, Rossana Rossanda, Luciana Castellina, Lucio Magri, Aldo Natoli, and Ninetta Zandegiacomi.
