collection of the lessons held in
Vincennes in 1980–81, edited by Aldo
Pardi, Lezioni su Spinoza (Cosa può
un corpo? Lezioni su Spinoza, Verona:
Ombre Corte, 2007). Deleuze clarifies
the position of the Dutch philosopher:
being affected is a constitutive feature
of the body and bodies are affects in
specific circumstances. Nature and
culture determine the possibility of
being affected in various ways. Affect
is the variation of the power of acting:
the way in which the body increases its
potential.

35 Huizinga was described as “incredibly
awkward” by Delio Cantimori, one
of the most accredited modernist
historians of twentieth-century Italian
historiography. Vittorio Foa called him “a
Dutch cheese eater” in one of his letters
from prison in the summer of 1938.
Clearly, we cannot say that Huizinga’s
studies were welcomed enthusiastically
in Italy in the late thirties (although they
were to become internationally successful
when Homo Ludens was published). At
the time, his ideas were contained in the
book The crisis of civilisation, translated
into Italian in 1937. Reactions are cited
in Michele Bonsarto’s introduction to the
new edition of this study entitled Nelle
ombre del domani, Torino: Aragno, 2019
