CULTS OF REACTION AND MALEVOLENT WORLDBUILDING: THEORIZING THE FASCIST IMAGINATION

SATURDAY 22/11
06:00
At: au JUS

Join Sarah Stein Lubrano (author of Don’t Talk About Politics) and Max Haiven (author of The Player and the Played: From Gamed Capitalism to 21st Century Fascism) for a discussion of what makes fascist dreams so appealing in our age of capitalist alienation. Sarah explores how social atrophe contributes to the paranoia that feeds reactionary resentments. Max asks: why do so many fascists imagine they can change reality with their minds?
