Abstract

This essay argues that educational practices are uniquely situated to mobilize antifascist resistance. Contemporary fascism produces through macro- and micropolitical movements. The author looks to how educational practices make molecular fascist productions sensible. Educators can resist the molecular and micropolitical productions of fascist desires by creating and inviting complex relationships in educational practices and spaces. By making the complexity of each individual’s partial struggles sensible, educators resist the microfascist individualizations of contemporary capitalism operative in pedagogy. The development of capitalism into neoliberalism produces new fascisms not reducible to previous fascist iterations. Neoliberalism and fascism must be attended to in their complexities and differences in order to mobilize affective antifascist resistance. In conclusion, this essay argues for complex resistance to the differing fascist tendencies operative in neoliberal academic spaces and practices.
