Summary

Here’s a summary of the website content:

The discussion, moderated by Audrey Nicolaides and featuring Matt Seybold, explores the evolving nature of contemporary fascism, particularly its connection to postmodern capitalism and the “polycrisis.” It examines how the aesthetic regime of fascism operates, focusing on the specific characteristics of “fascism 2.0” and its impact on American and global political life. The conversation delves into the influence of technological apparatuses on the production and consumption of fascist aesthetics, and proposes a strategy of resistance through politicizing aesthetics, echoing Walter Benjamin’s ideas. The core question revolves around whether contemporary capitalism represents a new mode of production or simply a renewed political and ideological framework.
