La pr\u00e9sence d\u2019un grand nombre d\u2019\u00e9migr\u00e9s italiens en Suisse en a certes fait \u00abune cible privil\u00e9gi\u00e9e de la propagande\u00bb. Mais cela va au-del\u00e0. Ainsi, sous la plume de Claire-Lise Deblu\u00eb et Pierre Eichenberger, une contribution passionnante pr\u00e9sente l\u2019attrait d\u2019une partie des \u00e9lites vaudoises pour le corporatisme, mis en place par le r\u00e9gime de Mussolini. Cette doctrine, qui organise la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 autour des m\u00e9tiers, s\u2019oppose \u00e0 la fois au capitalisme lib\u00e9ral et au communisme, sur fond d\u2019antiparlementarisme. La <em>laudatio<\/em> qui accompagne le doctorat <em>honoris causa<\/em> salue en effet \u00abl\u2019\u0153uvre de r\u00e9novation sociale\u00bb du Duce et la suppression de \u00abla lutte des int\u00e9r\u00eats de parti\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Soutien des Autorit\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un chapitre pr\u00e9sente Pasquale Boninsegni (1869-1939). Ce fasciste convaincu, qui enseigna \u00e0 l\u2019Unil pendant presque quarante ans, entretenait des liens personnels avec Mussolini. M\u00eame si ce chercheur fut une figure centrale dans \u00abl\u2019affaire\u00bb, il s\u2019av\u00e8re trop commode de lui en attribuer seul la responsabilit\u00e9. Il a fallu du soutien, de la part des Autorit\u00e9s cantonales et acad\u00e9miques, pour que la remise du titre se produise. \u00abLes 19 professeurs qui participent, \u00e0 un degr\u00e9 ou \u00e0 un autre, aux d\u00e9lib\u00e9rations et \u00e0 son approbation sont li\u00e9s \u00e0 une histoire commune de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 et se rattachent presque tous \u00e0 un v\u00e9cu tr\u00e8s lausannois\u00bb, comme l\u2019\u00e9crit Laurent Tissot dans sa contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019ouvrage traite ensuite des \u00e9v\u00e9nements d\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre, o\u00f9 l\u2019on entendait faire passer le message que le fascisme \u00e9tait \u00abquelque chose d\u2019irr\u00e9vocablement \u00e9tranger, de non suisse\u00bb.
