When we think of “early fascist” aesthetics, we think of uniforms, visual symbols, and crowds. “Late fascist” aesthetics – though not without symbols and crowds – has another tool at its disposal: the online forum. Join us to examine the use of the online forum by the contemporary far right to move from fiction to reality in ways that other political aesthetics have long dreamed of.
This event is organized by the Questions of Fascism and Democracy Lecture Series led by CES Resident Faculties Peter E. Gordon and CES Director Daniel Ziblatt. It is also co-sponsored by the Democracy and Its Critics Initiative at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES).
