In this talk, Larne Abse Gogarty periodizes and defines how elements within post-internet art, music, and fashion have apparently melded with aspects of a burgeoning fascist culture in Europe and the United States. Abse Gogarty suggests this development is at least partly reliant on the coherence of that culture, where aesthetic coordinates travel across different forms: from video art to electronic music to comedy to footwear. These continuities have afforded a strong set of stylistic and tonal foundations that makes this culture easily graspable, but also infinitely open to imitation and appropriation. Avoiding a retrospective assertion of an always-present fascism within the genre, Abse Gogarty argues that the coherence of the post-internet aesthetic is nevertheless propelled by a lack of attention to the relationship between aesthetic form and political responsibility.
Propositions #4: Unpacking Aesthetics and the Far Right is part of BAK’s long-term artistic research series and convening platform Propositions for Non-Fascist Living (2017–2020) prompted by the surfacing of contemporary fascisms. This is the fourth performative conference within the series and brings together artists, theorists, and writers to seek ways of unpacking the current relations of art and fascist-curious aesthetics.

It’s embarrassing that this obscurantistic, circumlocutory nonsense passes for scholarship. It’s hilarious when she dismisses the idea that the alt-right might have been partly caused by the alienation of working class white men, on the grounds that that is what the alt right would say. That type of logic wouldn’t even apply to the devil, who if he did exist would probably make factually correct claims from time to time.
Gavin’s wife is a Native American and he has several children with her. Can anyone in their right mind believe that he could possibly be a “white supremacist” given this fact about him?The teen vogue video is not about thanksgiving it’s about dispelling myths about native Americans. It’s clear that Larne hasn’t even watched the video. What profoundly lazy academia.
