SUMMARY:Fascism: What It Is and Why We Need to Talk About it in Global Pers
 pective
DESCRIPTION:For the past ten years\, we have witnessed in East and Southeas
 t Asia not only an erosion of democracy\, or “democratic backsliding”\
 , but also the unleashing of spectacular political violence\, sometimes go
 ing hand in hand with mass mobilisations directed against marginalised gro
 ups\, the autonomisation of the executive and the weaponisation of the jud
 iciary. How can these developments be understood? What theories of fascism
  or fascisation are available to us?\n\nIn the theories of the 1930s and t
 he post-war period\, fascism was often seen as a catastrophic singular eve
 nt\, unexpected in its force and violence\, sweeping across the countries 
 of Europe like natural disaster. Yet even then\, these theories of fascism
  were challenged by academics and activists who\, viewing the situation fr
 om the Global South\, understood fascism in the centres as a symptom of a 
 colonial world order founded on violence and dehumanisation.\n\nThis lectu
 re explores how we can interpret and analyse these global manifestations t
 oday\, and what conclusions we must draw from them for our political actio
 n.
