Abstract

The author reviews two recently published volumes, namely "Paranoia e Politica", a col¬lection of essays edited by Simona Forti and Marco Revelli, and "Giochi di Potere" by Davide Tarizzo. As Salzani points out, the first work emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to the issue of paranoia and politics, while the second one assumes a much more systematic perspective, moving from a «theory power» in a psychoanalytical view applied to politics. Both the works reviewed attempt to analyze the contemporary turn of the political into «pathologic» forms.
