“La riqueza de Italian Theory and New Political Extremisms no reside únicamente en su trabajo coordinado y colaborativo; tampoco está sólo en la claridad que brinda cada autor para entender y problematizar nuestro presente. Su mayor riqueza radica en la intertextualidad de sus doce capítulos, en las distintas combinaciones dialógicas que podrían entablarse a partir de su lectura. Reconstuirlas todas sería una tarea infinita. Por ello, en lo que sigue me centraré en dar algunas claves de lectura con el fin de esbozar grosso modo algunos de estos diálogos latentes.”
