Abstract
Picking up Walter Benjamin’s analysis of German Fascism as an aestheticisation of politics, the article develops the concept of late capitalist fascism for which aesthetics plays an important role. Today fascism is not primarily a political force but a cultural phenomenon that circulates as language, emblems and objects. Because of its history fascism does not dare name itself as such but fascism is fast becoming part of everyday life in a number of countries including Hungary, Italy and the United States, but also France and Denmark where the threat of fascism is used as a pretext for imposing fascist measures especially in relation to immigration and asylum policies.

晚期资本主义法西斯主义的审美化
摘要
借鉴沃尔特·本杰明(Walter Benjamin)对德国法西斯主义作为一种政治美学的分析,本文提出了晚期资本主义法西斯主义的概念,美学在其中发挥了重要作用。今天,法西斯主义已不再主要是一种政治力量,而是一种以语言,象征和物体传播的文化现象。由于法西斯主义的悠久历史,法西斯主义不敢这样称呼自己,而是在包括匈牙利,意大利和美国在内的许多国家中,法西斯主义正迅速成为日常生活的一部分,在法国和丹麦,法西斯主义的威胁也以此为借口。采取法西斯主义措施,特别是在移民和庇护政策方面。
