Comparative Fascist Studies and the Transnational Turn, Budapest 27.-29.4.2018
---------------------------------------------------------
The comparative study of fascism underwent significant changes in the last
decades, opening up new research opportunities but also posing novel challenges.
One of the main research avenues has been the topic of fascist internationalism,
focusing on the interactions, entanglements, and cooperation among fascism
movements and regimes, at various formal or informal political levels.

In this context, the COMFAS Convention invites comparative or case-study
contributions exploring:

the common intellectual origins of fascism in various countries, and the
transnational elaboration of the fascist ideology at European and global levels
in the inter-war, wartime or postwar periods (1918 to present);
the global circulation of fascist ideas and their intermediaries; and
the creation of fascist transnational discursive practices.

Papers will take into account complex patterns of interactions and mutual or
multilateral influences among fascist intellectuals, movements, and regimes at
ideological, political and institutional levels. Particular attention will be
devoted to:

the transfer and adaptation of generic fascist ideological concepts to various
local contexts. We welcome papers exploring the themes of totalitarianism,
revolution, violence, corporatism, racism, anti-Semitism, etc.
attempts at institutionalizing new ties or forms of cooperation among fascists
in Europe and beyond it
the creation of new transnational spaces of interaction, exchange or
confrontation  (e.g. the Spanish Civil War).

Other topics of interest are:

the organization and impact of the Nazi New European Order (Neuordnung Europas),
mostly in view of the hierarchical and exclusionary practices associated with
it;
the emulation of forms of political violence and of state-sponsored campaigns of
legal discrimination and ‘purification’ through cleansing;
the organization and functioning of the Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis and
its political, economic, and military impact, at global level.  

Scholars interested in attending or contributing to the conference should fill
in the on-line REGISTRATION FORM by 20 February 2018. Please specify your
academic title and current position, and the title and abstract of your

proceedings of the conference will be published in a collective volume. 

Conference participation is free for COMFAS members (see our Membership Policy).
For non-members, a participation fee of € 75 applies.  A number of travel
and accommodation grants are available upon request and on a competitive
basis.  For further information, please contact us at comfas at comfas.org
