To all friends of the CDC: This semester, we are again organizing a series of lectures and colloquia (both online and offline) that may be of interest to you – we hope to see many of you there!

CFP for Navigationen. Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften 2/26. »Technofascism« What is technofascism, and how can it be conceptually clarified? • How does today’s technofascism differ from classical fascism or other contemporary right-wing movements? • What is “techno” about Technofascism? What technophilosophical approaches can be identified to specifically characterize this phenomenon? • What are current examples of techno-fascist endeavors and theories? • What are the theoretical points of reference for techno-fascist thinking? • Is there an appropriation of classic left-wing texts and approaches? Submission details We welcome proposals for contributions (500-word abstract, 200-word author bio, and two key references) that shed light on the topic of technofascism from various interdisciplinary perspectives. Deadline Proposal: 15.07.25. Accepted Papers: 28.02.2026.

»Technofascism«

Glancing at current headlines, it is palpably clear that the utopian tech visions of the 1990s have morphed into something darker. Let's talk about the techno in technofascism - again.

The image presents the key information also visible in the text.

Join us for the next CDC Climate Futures Talk, "Common-Sensing: The Politics of In/Visibility in an Age of Planetary Crisis", with @delfrothe.bsky.social on July 1, 2 to 4 pm in C40.530 at #Leuphana and on Zoom (contact us for details)!
