Fascist Futures: Purity, Nostalgia, and Technocapitalism
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tilman Bürger (he/him) at tilman.buerger@mailbox.tu-dresden.de and Ben Woodard at benjamin.woodard@tu-dresden.de
Date: Monday 6th double period (04.40 - 06.10 pm)
Place: BSS 177
Course description:
It would be impossible to deny that fascism is on the rise globally. However, there is much confusion as to how contemporary forms of fascism such as identitarianism, nativism, neo-traditionalism, techno-feudalism, and other alt-right movements connect to historical fascism. This course will examine text and media that investigates the links between past and present fascist ideology with a particular focus on fantasies of racial purity, mythical manipulations of history, and techno-libertarian fantasies of accelerated capitalism.
