Folle e uomini a molla. Brancati e la prossemica del totalitarismo

This work points to the proxemics features of Totalitarianism as described by Vitaliano Brancati. First, I sketch a proxemic frame (including some quasi-proxemics categories employed in sociology). Then, I recall many quasiproxemics remarks by Brancati (in Diario romano and elsewhere), in order to show that his account of Totalitarianism, focused on the behavior of bodies within the mass, and on fanatic activism, is proxemic in its essence.
