The obscene object of fascism

Abstract

The idea of my essay is to discuss the updating of the notion of fascism, not as an anomy within capitalism and democracy, but thinking of its obscenity as a manifestation which reveals ambiguities in the inner of the dominant system. Thus, I try to formulate an elaboration concerning the relationship between depoliticization, the crisis of left-wing and the resurgence of contemporary fascism, combining aspects of the conjuncture and its substantial relationship with the structure. Then, I enunciate the concept of democratic fascism, from the elaboration of the philosopher Alain Badiou, combined with brief notes on the institution of an alternative orientation to capitalist order and fascism that, in this case, would mean the production of an enjoyment out of capitalism.
