The Far Right Today. Mediating Memories of Political Violence and Resistance Across Europe, Latin America and the Wider World, 1989 – 2019

DATE: 12-13 December 2019

ORGANIZATION: ACES-UvA conference in collaboration with CEDLA

This conference brings together specialists from the humanities and social sciences to examine the “history-in-the-present” of contemporary Far Right movements and parties — ranging from populist to (neo)fascist — across various European and Latin American countries. It addresses the growth of Far Right movements, the rise of populism, and the crisis of liberal democracy in today’s societies worldwide, all set against the backdrop of Europe’s tragic twentieth-century history of political violence and totalitarianism.
