Lensbased invites you to an online seminar with Dr. Simon Strick from ZeM Brandenburg:
‘Media Technologies of Digital Fascists’
15.12.2020, 13:30
“In this presentation, I am going to discuss some thoughts on the visual, media-specific and memetic registers that online activists of the Alt-Right use in their highly effective communication. Introducing analytical concepts like “reflexive fascism”, “attention economy”, and “memetic knowledge”, various figures, memes, and styles of US-American Alt-Right propaganda will be analysed for affect, gender, meanings, and possible intervention points. The seminar takes the time to do some mood work, i.e. look for affective responses in the group discussion.”
The seminar will be live-streamed on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lensbasedclass
