This book is written for contemporary students, translating difficult theoretical and empirical insights into language they can understand. It clearly demonstrates the application of theory to the analysis of contemporary digital media and politics. Suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses and modules in media and communication studies, cultural studies, sociology, and political science. Clear two part structure with chapters first addressing ' Theories' of fascism, followed by ' Applications' , which includes case studies on Trump' s Twitter use and far-right digital media communication.
"In this colossal collection of critical theory and analyses, Christian Fuchs shows off his brilliant expertise by integrating Marxist theories of fascism with its digital articulations across a range of online discourses. His exemplary detailed elaboration of pertinent conceptual roots is complemented by several empirical case studies, including digital discourses of remembering Hitler on Twitter, anti-Corbyn campaigns online, and Trumpian discourses of racism, nationalism, and fascism. In its data analysis, Fuchs makes excellent use of insights from Critical Discourse Studies and provides articulate and compelling contextualisation of the findings. "Majid KhosraviNik, Senior Lecturer in Digital Media & Discourse Studies at Newcastle University, UK"In this highly informative and theoretically grounded book, Christian Fuchs explores the rise of new forms of right-wing extremism online, in the era of Trump, Salvini and Bolsonaro, showing how social media has offered effective avenues for the growth of the populist right. "Paolo Gerbaudo, Senior Lecturer in Digital Culture and Society, King' s College London, UK
