The essay analyzes the path of the words «crowd» and «mass » and the transformation in the theoretical images of collective action. Moving from the turning-point of 1830, the article emphasizes the different strategies in the conceptual construction of the crowd, from the literary depictions of Edgar Allan Poe, Victor Hugo and Emile Zola, and from the «scientific » crowd psychology of Gustave Le Bon, Scipio Sighele, Hippolyte Taine and Gabriel Tarde, to the German Massenpsychologie and the first analysis of the « lonely crowd ». In the crowd’s intellectual construction, the author sees an excellent example of the « spatial revolution» in the theoretical representation of the civil conflict between 19th and 20th century.
