Abstract

The essay offers a dialogue, in the form of an interview, between Daniela Daniele and Vincent Crapanzano, an American anthropologist and comparatist and professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. The interview reflects on the new forms of intolerance in today's American culture, the authoritarian aspects of the American legal system, the relationship between fundamentalism and economic insecurity, and the role of literature, technology and information technology in the new forms of authoritarianism.
