Late fascism as a mode of crisis management: An Interview with Şebnem Oğuz

Şebnem Oğuz examines late fascism as a contemporary mode of crisis management, distinct not only from neoliberal authoritarianism and right-wing populism but also from classical fascism. How does capitalist crisis reorganize the state around war, racialized violence, and coercive accumulation? And what does this mean for anti-fascist struggle in Turkey?

Road to Fascization: Crisis of Social Cohesion, Alienation, and the Search for Alternatives

Theory & Research The current crisis is creating political conditions in which states are losing their ability to manage internal societal contradictions. The consequences of the crisis of neoliberalism, which has severed social bonds, have evolved into a broader crisis that is causing modern societies to lose their social cohesion, and their ability to politically organise to find adequate responses to the crisis itself.

Authoritarianism and "Progress": Looking at Bolivia from the Crucible of Santa Cruz. An open dialogue.

Theory & Research How is “progress” understood in this territory? For whom is it intended? How has Bolivian society, particularly in Santa Cruz, been transformed in recent decades? Why speak of authoritarianism? Seeking collective answers to these questions—and opening the door to new ones—we met in July at a roundtable during the Congress of the Association of Bolivian Studies (AEB). This text summarises the reflections that emerged and presents a set of ongoing research projects.

From (Individual) Fears to (Collective) Cares

Theory & Research Neoliberalism has dismantled the social structures that offered security and orientation to life. The far right successfully channels the resulting fears and anxieties towards purist, social Darwinist fantasies. Politics of care stands as a defiant response to that. In an era defined by uncertainty and precarity, care emerges as survival, resistance, and imagination. Care is a counter-normative project: sustaining and (re)generating social life while embracing contradiction and resisting the demands for purity.
