WORKSHOP, University of Turin (Italy) February 2 and 3, 2026
The EASA Anthropology of Fascisms (AnthroFa) Network (https://easaonline.org/networks/anthropology-of-fascisms/) and the ERC project “The world behind a word. An anthropological exploration of fascist practices and meanings among European youth” (F-WORD) (https://fword.unito.it/) are delighted to invite contributions for their joint workshop on “Theorizing Fascism through Ethnography: Anthropological Insights for Today’s Political Landscape”.
We invite contributions that engage with, but are not limited to, the following macro-themes:
1) Praxes of “othering”: mobilisations of “anti”-migration, “anti”-gender, “anti”-feminist, “anti”- Islam, “anti”-gypsyism, “anti”-institutional... discourses;
2) Capitalist accumulation: exploitation of natural resources and living beings through technology, labour, ecology and digitisation;
3) The diachronic and ethnographic theorisation of multiple forms and materialisations of racism, colonialism, nationalism, white supremacy;
4) The political use and circulation of memories, future imaginaries, identity, social reproduction and historical transition.
All information is available in the attached Call for Papers.
