Trump's Counterrevolution: A Workshop with Prof. Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen
Workshop within the Postdoctoral Dialogue Series "Norms, Plurality and Critique"
5 December 2018, 6 pm
Prof. Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen (University of Copenhagen)
In Trump's Counter-Revolution, Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen looks behind the craziness of Donald Trump to decipher the formation of a new kind of fascism, late-capitalist fascism, that is intent on preventing any kind of real social change. Trump projects an image of America as threatened, but capable of re-creating itself as a united, white and patriarchal community: "Make America great again". After forty years of extreme, uneven development in the US, Trump's late-capitalist fascism fuses popular culture and ultra-nationalism in an attempt to renew the old alliance between the white working class and the capitalist class, preventing the coming into being of an anti-capitalist alliance between Occupy and Black Lives Matter. All are welcome!
Prof. Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen will analyse the meaning of Trump in conversation with Dr. Jason Mast, Postdoctoral Fellow at Normative Orders. The event is organised and moderated by Dr. Peer Illner (Postdoctoral Fellow at Normative Orders).
