(New) Fascism: Contagion, Community, Myth

Více o knize

Exploring the resurgence of fascism in modern politics, Nidesh Lawtoo examines how authoritarian leaders exploit the digital age to manipulate public sentiment. He builds on his previous analysis of crowd behavior, collaborating with mimetic theorists to argue that contemporary fascism revives historical issues of mimetic contagion, community, and myth. This work highlights the unsettling ability of new media to transform political discourse into a form of fiction, prompting a reevaluation of democracy and collective identity in today's society.
