Résumé anglais In the name of the name, or the end of the Italian Communist Party and the birth of the Party of communist refounding, Jean-Yves Dormagen.

The extraordinary emotion that this declaration caused in the party's sections showed that the term "communist" constituted for tens of thousand of militants a necessary and inviolable sign of recognition around which a coherent and unified identity was formed. The symbolic manipulations and the liturgic confrontation that the partisans and opponents of the PCFs transformation would resort to for nearly two years represents exceptional material from which to analyse how collective identities are created.
