Conference Readings of Fascism, by Roger Griffin
CEIS20 Conferences in the framework of the PhD in Contemporary Studies (PhD CS)
On the 100th anniversary of the March on Rome, and in the current context of the growth of the far-right (when the concept of fascism has again been under strong scrutiny), it is worth reflecting on this key event in twentieth-century history. In this context, CEIS20 is organising the online participation of historian Roger Griffin, who will lead a session for students, researchers, teachers of all levels of education and other interested public, under the title Readings of Fascism.
The session will be presented by CEIS20 researcher Sérgio Neto and moderated by CEIS20 vice-coordinator Luís Trindade.
Free entry, subject to registration – inscricoes.ceis20@uc.pt
Note: Sérgio Neto and Luís Trindade will be present at the Anfiteatro II, FLUC; Roger Griffin participates in the session via Zoom.
Roger Griffin is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading experts of the socio-historical and ideological dynamics of fascism, as well as on the relationship between modernity and forms of violence stemming from different expression of political or religious fanaticism, and in particular contemporary terrorism. His theory of fascism as a revolutionary form of ultra-nationalism driven by ‘palingenetic’ myth has had a major impact on comparative fascist studies since the mid-1990s.
