SUMMARY:The Great Driving Right Show: Cars\, Crisis\, and the Rise of Fossi
 l Fascism (Tatjana Söding\, Zetkin Collective)
DESCRIPTION:The event will be held in English as part of the Sociology Rese
 arch Colloquium at the University of Jena. Tatjana Söding is part of the 
 Zetkin Collective and will present their book The great Driving Right Show
 : Cars\, Crisis\, and the Rise of Fossil Fascism:\n\nApocalypse is in the 
 air. And the far right knows it. Since the pandemic\, it has successfully 
 cultivated crises\, conspiracy theories\, and coalitions to fight a green 
 energy transition. Mobilising online and in the streets\, far-right actors
  cast decarbonisation measures as a ‘war on cars’ endangering individu
 al liberty\, the nuclear family\, the nation\, and western civilisation.\n
 \nIn The Great Driving Right Show\, the Zetkin Collective traces the evolu
 tion of these conflicts and shows how\, as the climate crisis worsens\, th
 e political right constructs an ‘inverted crisis’ in which climate act
 ion – not climate change – represents the gravest existential threat. 
 Rising through this shared strategy are movements and parties from anti-ro
 ad-pricing saboteurs\, ‘freedom’ convoys and farmers’ protests\, to 
 the Trump-led opposition to electric vehicles. Powering such actors are no
 t only fossil-fuel and automobile interests\, but an ever-expanding cycle 
 of moral panics about climate and racial justice protesters\, trans people
 \, and migrants.\n\nWith the planet at stake\, we must confront the new cl
 imate denialism and the violent mobility regime fuelling the rise of fossi
 l fascism.
