This article links the study of transnational and imperial fascism in the context of the Italian occupation of Albania by examining how Italian authorities sought to turn Albanians abroad into assets rather than liabilities. Organising and monitoring Albanians occurred through conferences, youth institutions and consular activities. Studying such concrete contacts and negotiations allows us to explore the practical issues latent in expanding fascist political subjectivity in transnational and imperial contexts. On the one hand, Italians hoped to verse Albanians in a fascist identity by using existing organisational strategies while silencing or converting potential anti-Italian critics. On the other, many Albanians expressed and offered support for these Italian efforts, though with reservations and conditions, raising questions as to what it meant to be an Albanian nationalist and/or fascist in the years of occupation. The Albanian case therefore contributes to our understanding of the tensions inherent in ‘universalising’ fascism for colonial subjects.

阿尔巴尼亚占领期间的法西斯跨国主义（1939-43）

本文通过考察意大利当局如何试图将海外阿尔巴尼亚人变成资产而不是负债，将跨国法西斯主义和帝国法西斯主义研究与意大利占领阿尔巴尼亚的背景联系起来。通过会议、青年机构和领事活动对阿尔巴尼亚人进行组织和监督。研究这种具体的接触和谈判使我们能够探索在跨国和帝国背景下扩大法西斯政治主体性所潜藏的实际问题。一方面，意大利人希望通过利用现有的组织策略，同时压制或转变潜在的反意大利批评者，以法西斯身份对抗阿尔巴尼亚人。另一方面，许多阿尔巴尼亚人表示并表示支持意大利的这些努力，尽管有保留和条件，这引发了人们对在占领时期作为阿尔巴尼亚民族主义者和/或法西斯主义者意味着什么的疑问。因此，阿尔巴尼亚的案例有助于我们理解殖民主体“普遍化”法西斯主义所固有的紧张局势。
