Abstract

Addressing the re-emergence of fascism from the perspective of cultural production requires an understanding of fascist phenomena and their cultural implications from their origins through to their seemingly incoherent and unpredictable contemporary developments. Attending to the dynamic relationship between “high and low culture” and how it may reinforce fascist tendencies within society is one of the key steps in shaping the struggle for progressive politics.
