This was result of Dante’s experiences as a member of the political elite from his hometown, Florence, and, posteriorly, when he was exiled, of reflections about the two greatest Universalists powers of the time, the papacy and the empire. As he writes this treaty, Dante introduces himself in a current of thinkers that, since the late 1290s, were producing political treaties that descant about this theme, searching, in the ancient texts of authority, for solutions to the conflicts that are unfolding in the political scene. Thus, this research investigates Dante’s steps by the spheres of power, looking for the dialogues that your treaty establishes with the other political discourses of your time, reconstructing a screen of the cultures of power of the Late Middle Ages / Dante Alighieri escreve, entre os anos 1312 e 1313, um tratado político intitulado “De Monarchia”. Este foi resultado da experiência de Dante como membro da elite política de sua cidade natal, Florença, e, posteriormente, quando foi exilado, de reflexões acerca dos dois grandes poderes universalistas da época, o papado e o império. Ao escrever este tratado, Dante se insere em uma corrente de pensadores que, desde o final da década de 1290, vinham produzindo tratados políticos que discorriam sobre a mesma temática, buscando, nos antigos textos de autoridade, soluções para os conflitos que se desenrolavam no cenário político. Assim, esta pesquisa investiga os passos de Dante pelas esferas do poder, buscando os diálogos que o seu tratado estabelece com os outros discursos políticos de seu tempo, reconstruindo um quadro das culturas do poder da Baixa Idade Média

Dante Alighieri is, undoubtedly, an enduring feature of the cultural memory of generations of Italians. His influence is such that the mere mention of a ‘dark wood’ or ‘life’s journey’ recalls the poet and his most celebrated work, the Divina Commedia. This study, however, seeks to examine the construction of the medieval Florentine poet, exemplified by the above assertion, as a potent symbol of the Italian nation. From the creation of the idea of the Italian nation during the Risorgimento, to the Liberal ruling elite’s efforts after 1861 to legitimise the new Italian nation state, and more importantly to ‘make Italians’, to the rise of a more imperialist conception of nationalism in the early twentieth century and its most extreme expression under the Fascist regime, Dante was made to play a significant role in defining, justifying and glorifying the Italian nation. Such an exploration of the utilisation of Dante in the construction of Italian national identity during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries aids considerably in an understanding of the conceptualisation of the Italian nation, of the issues engendered by the establishment of the Italian nation state, and the evolution of these processes throughout the period in question. The various images of Dante revealed by this investigation of his instrumentalisation in the Italian process of nation-building bear only a fleeting resemblance to what is known of the poet in his medieval reality. Dante was born in 1265 to a family of modest means and standing in Florence, at that time the economic centre of Europe, and one of the most important cities of the Italian peninsula. His writings disclosed, however, that he was little impressed by his city’s prestige and wealth, being instead greatly disturbed by its political discord and instability, of which he became an unfortunate victim. The violent partisan conflict in Florence and the turbulent political condition of the Italian peninsula in the late thirteenth century had a decisive influence on Dante’s life and literary endeavours.

This thesis is grounded in philosophy and in literature. It is concerned with the recognized human need for self-affirmation and with the consequences of its denial caused by exile. For the victim this means the loss of social interaction and public moral agency within his natural community through which self-affirmation can be actualized. / In certain types of exilic literature constructive reactions were found to counteract this loss of freedom of choice of action and place, which entails potential annihilation of the exile's personal integrity. / In the exilic text of Dante as my chosen case study, I investigate the use of philosophical and literary means admitting of various kinds of self-referential expressions and of similacra of moral agency as substitutes for self-affirmation by public acts. Stimulated by these means, an intellectual and moral 'self-portrait' of the poet eventually emerges in the reader's consciousness. This 'portrait' is no static image of a pre-existent character, but a dynamic presence of an evolving human person of intellectual and moral integrity, as a reflection of the poet's self-perception. / By sample analyses and comparisons, my exposition substantiates the claim that Dante's text exemplifies the distinct and identifiable literary mode to which I refer as 'Exilic Discourse'.
