Streitraum: »Libertarian – Authoritarian – Fascist – The specific constellations in Latin America«
Carolin Emcke in conversation with Mauro Basaure (Director of the Doctoral Program in Critical Theory and Current Society at Universidad Andrés Bello in Santiago de Chile), Clayton Nascimento (actor and director) and Claudia Zilla (Senior Fellow at the Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik)
Stage A
With Javier Milei in Argentina, José Antonio Kast in Chile, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, variations of libertarian and authoritarian movements can be observed across Latin America. What ideological objectives can be identified there? How are they reshaping democratic systems? How are revisionist perspectives smoothing over the crimes of the past? What role do racist projections and resentments play? With which disruptive force is the welfare state being undermined? What political alliances is the Latin American right-wing forging with other international authoritarian movements? What role is being played by Donald Trump and his imperialist foreign policy? What can be done to counter all this? Do art and culture still possess any real power in this situation?
