Краткое содержание доклада:
This presentation focuses on the relationship between fascism and the transnational Asian tradition of Confucianism. Confucianism was harnessed by fascist movements in a number of countries throughout East and Southeast Asia during the twentieth century. It was centrally deployed as part of the ideology of Japanese fascism in the 1930s and 40s, not only in Japan proper, but throughout occupied continental Asia. Republic of China ideologues also replicated elements of this ideological employment, as did authoritarian developmentalist regimes in other parts of Asia during the Cold War. This presentation analyzes the links between these different WWII, trans-war, and post-Cold War manifestations of Confucian fascism in modern Asian history, and also touches on their position in mainland Chinese political discourse today. It also explores concrete links between these Asian examples and fascist employments of religious culture in other parts of the world, notably in trans-war France through Action françaiseand its post-war sympathizers’ employment of Catholicism and Christian culture in general.
Histories of fascism too often accept a definition of it based on its own propaganda – notably their claims to cultural particularism, national tradition, and unique patterns of socio-economic development. This presentation rather treats fascism as an inherently global phenomenon which has appeared in nearly every country during industrial high capitalism. It is a global universal, not culturally specific form of politics, and one which often rebrands formerly universalist traditions, for instance Christianity, but also Confucianism, with culturally specific symbolisms of reactionary xenophobia.
