Carisma, fama e celebrità nell’età delle rivoluzioni
Charisma, fame and celebrity in the age of revolutions
From the mid-18th to mid-19th centuries, a great ideological, political and institutional transformation swept through the Euro-Atlantic space, already being called an “Age of Revolutions” by some contemporaries. It intersected with the transition from an “ancient media regime” to a new system of public communication: previously unknown supports circulated (books and illustrated periodicals, panoramas, dioramas), which told the stories of recent and historical events, as well as dramatizing narratives and focusing attention on celebrated contemporaries. This helped the rise of a political star system, aided by the cheap, agile and rapid spread of abundant images and objects (chimney ornaments, caricatures, lithographic and photographic portraits), in which the narration of private (mis)adventures intersected with public events.
Representations of illustrious men of Plutarchian descent or the great Enlightenment figures were flanked by and intertwined with popular heroes. Historiography has studied the political leadership that emerged during the age of revolutions within the analytical categories of charisma, fame and celebrity. For the most part, these personalities can be summarised in the images of men on horseback, in which an army career and military victories are inextricably linked to political success, whether fleeting or long-lasting (Pasquale Paoli, George Washington, Lafayette, Napoléon Bonaparte, Toussaint Louverture, Simón Bolívar, Wellington, Guglielmo Pepe, Rafael del Riego, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Ulysses S. Grant). These, however, compete with civil icons who perform the role of voluntary revolutionary (Byron, Giuseppe Montanelli), republican commanders in chief (Daniele Manin, Abraham Lincoln) or those who distinguished themselves in the major reformist mobilizations for the abolition of slavery (Benjamin Lay, William Wilberforce, Cinqué) and for political and economic freedom (John Wilkes, William Cobbett). They therefore outline the construction of a public space and a new politics that is characterised by their emotional and media profiles, as well as by the renewed personalisation of power.
The course intends to conduct a comparative investigation of the media forms of political legitimacy that characterised the age of revolutions (and counter-revolutions) in the 18th and 19th centuries, looking at the Risorgimento as a special scenario, and focusing attention on the tensions and interconnections between civil and military figures, charisma and celebrity, armed mobilization and political participation, and old and new communication circuits.
