<p><b>Minor Compositions Podcast Episode 21 Feminist Antifascism v
Contemporary Microfascism </b><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://fireflyfrequencies.org/podcasts/minor-compositions">https://fireflyfrequencies.org/podcasts/minor-compositions</a><br>
<br>
In this episode of Minor Compositions we delve into the complex
intersections of gender, power, and contemporary alt-right and
neofascist politics with Jack Bratich and Ewa Majewska. Drawing on
Bratich’s <i>On Microfascism: Gender, Death, and War</i> and
Majewska’s <i>Feminist Antifascism: Counterpublics of the Common</i>,
the discussion unpacks how gender dynamics are central to the rise
of fascist ideologies in the 21st century. The conversation
explores how microfascist tendencies operate in everyday life,
particularly in the realms of social reproduction, and examines
the ways feminist antifascism offers tools for resistance and
building counterpublics. <br>

Bio: Jack Z. Bratich is professor in the Journalism and Media
Studies Department at Rutgers University. He is author of <i>Conspiracy
Panics: Political Rationality and Popular Culture</i> as well as
coeditor of <i>Foucault, Cultural Studies, and Governmentality</i>.
