The proposed project will be an ethnographic study of right-wing populism, as it emerges among working-class urban communities in Pigneto and Torpignattara, two adjacent working-class neighbourhoods of South-Eastern Rome. Here the conditions of social reproduction have been dramatically reshaped by crises in capital accumulation, recession and austerity politics, as well as by broader and longstanding processes associated with neoliberal globalisation. The project will look at my informants' situated and 'classed' experiences, practices and discourses, to consider how these have come to articulate with the themes and representations of an authoritarian, neo-nationalist populist ideology. The questions I ask include the following: How is sociality reconfigured in the current historical circumstances and how does it acquire new political meanings? Which are the historically informed ways of relatedness and cultural repertoires upon which these new forms of public sociality draw? And how do they actually transform them? How do different structures of collective life impact a community's capacity to contest and resist processes of symbolic and material dispossession? To answer these questions, my project will pursue three interrelated lines of inquiry. Firstly, I will investigate the relationship between processes of territorialisation, local strategies of social reproduction and the production of difference. Secondly, I am interested in exploring the interactions between local working-class traditions of solidarity and current exclusionary ideologies. Thirdly, I want to investigate the possible linkages between everyday practices of community and nationalism as a form of identification. This project will add to a well-established anthropological literature on class and the production of right-wing populism in Italy by Blim, Celiksu, Stacul and Loperfido. While these works have engaged their object through historico-structural or discursive approaches, and centered the experiences of political militants and party-activists, I hope my study will provide an insightful ethnographic perspective by engaging the common and yet marginal experiences of 'ordinary' people, through a combination of participant observation, life-history interviews and archival research. The proposed project will build on and expand the findings of my earlier fieldwork in the area, interrogating the interconnections between the rise of right wing populism and those social processes I addressed in my previous work, such as the particularization of relationships of trust and solidarity in the face of an increasingly precarized everyday life. The project thus analyses local livelihood strategies and the ways in which these can work to reinscribe forms of hierarchy and difference. At the same time, I am interested in the ways in which interactions and exchanges across the faultines of race and class are conceptualised, performed and policed, and how collective identities are realized, negotiated and contested through such practices. Finally, I will consider how the decline of traditional forms of organised collective life can allow for, or hamper, the emergence of new, common political subjects. This study-which is meant as a Southern-European interjection to a growing body of scholarship looking at right wing populism in Europe and globally-participates in broader disciplinary debates on the social reproduction of working-class communities, on citizenship and subjectivity, on community and its relationship to ethics and politics and on nationalism. It is my hope that it will also help further our shared understanding of the relationships between processes of commoning and processes of class formation, and political economy and moral economies

拟议的项目将是对右翼民粹主义的人种学研究，因为它出现在罗马东南部两个相邻的工人阶级社区Pigneto和Torpignattara的工人阶级城市社区中。在这里，社会再生产的条件已经被资本积累、经济衰退和紧缩政治的危机，以及与新自由主义全球化相关的更广泛和长期的进程所戏剧性地重塑。该项目将着眼于我的受访者的位置和“分类”的经验，实践和话语，考虑这些是如何来表达的主题和一个独裁的，新民族主义的民粹主义意识形态的代表。我提出的问题包括：社会性在当前的历史环境中是如何被重新配置的，它是如何获得新的政治意义的？这些新形式的公共社会性所借鉴的历史上知情的相关性和文化剧目的方式是什么？他们又是如何转化的呢？不同的集体生活结构如何影响社区竞争和抵制象征性和物质剥夺进程的能力？为了回答这些问题，我的项目将遵循三条相互关联的调查路线。首先，我将研究领土化过程、社会再生产的地方战略和差异生产之间的关系。其次，我有兴趣探索当地工人阶级团结传统与当前排外意识形态之间的相互作用。第三，我想研究社区的日常实践和民族主义作为一种认同形式之间可能存在的联系。这个项目将增加一个完善的人类学文献的阶级和生产的右翼民粹主义在意大利的布林，切利克苏，斯塔库尔和Loperfido。虽然这些作品通过历史结构或话语方法参与他们的对象，并以政治激进分子和政党活动家的经历为中心，但我希望我的研究将通过参与者观察，生活史访谈和档案研究的结合，参与“普通”人的共同但边缘的经历，提供一个有见地的民族志视角。拟议的项目将建立在我早期在该地区的实地调查结果的基础上，并将其扩展，询问右翼民粹主义的兴起与我在以前的工作中所处理的社会过程之间的相互联系，例如在日益不稳定的日常生活中，信任和团结的关系的特殊化。因此，该项目分析了地方生计战略以及这些战略如何能够重新确定等级和差异的形式。与此同时，我感兴趣的是，在种族和阶级的断层互动和交流的方式被概念化，执行和监管，以及如何实现集体身份，通过这种做法进行谈判和竞争。最后，我将考虑传统的有组织的集体生活形式的衰落如何允许或阻碍新的共同政治主体的出现。这项研究，这意味着作为一个南欧的插话越来越多的学术机构在欧洲和全球右翼民粹主义，参加了更广泛的学科辩论的工人阶级社区的社会再生产，公民身份和主体性，社区及其关系，道德和政治，民族主义。我希望，这也将有助于进一步加深我们对共有过程和阶级形成过程、政治经济学和道德经济学之间关系的共同理解
