CfP for Navigationen. Zeitschrift für Medien- und Kulturwissenschaften 2/26. »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.

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.
Please send proposals to
Laura Hille: laura.hille@leuphana.de, Felix Hüttemann: fhuettema@uni-bonn.de, and Milan
