Antoine Dubiau resumes this fall the presentation tour of his first book,
Ecofascisms, in which he measures, far from the prejudices around this term, thedouble movement of ecologization of fascism and fascization of ecology. ----Author of the Spring Perspectives blog, Antoine Dubiau published his first book,Écofascismes, in May 2022, in order to clarify the issues around this misguidedterm. ---- Often launched as an insult to discredit environmental movements, thenqualified as "green totalitarianism", the author, who is interested in politicalecology, takes the side of analyzing and theorizing what the term "ecofascism"can concretely and precisely refer. For this he identifies a double movementwhich is both the fascism of ecology and the ecologization of fascism.It refutes the idea that ecology is intrinsically left-wing, effectivelyexcluding other conceptions of political ecology, liberal or fascist. Obsessedwith immigration, the far right is still today mostly negationist vis-à-vis thefindings of scientific ecology, especially since it aims to preserve a carbonlifestyle favorable to " white or European civilisations". However, AntoineDubiau shows us that there are also real appropriations of ecology within it,beyond instrumentalization. Coming from the New Right, which counts among itsmembers collaborationists and other personalities of the OAS, this current isnamed in the book "ecofascism". Although marginal and remaining theoretical,centered on the rejection of modernity, it must be taken seriously in order to becombated.Intellectual self-defenseThe author also describes what, in militant environmental circles, is likely toparticipate in the current fascism movement of our society. It presents thefascisation of ecology as a set of slippery slopes towards fascist conceptswithin mainstream ecology. Different theses are thus screened with anti-fascistcriticism such as the appeal to nature, populationism, collapse theories,anti-modernism or even the sacrifice of democracy in the name of the ecologicalemergency.As underlined by the title of a text by André Gorz, "Their ecology and ours",ecology is multiple and therefore likely to divide. Any use of ecology ispolitically situated, it does not exist outside or beyond the political spectrumas some liberals like to think. It is essential to identify what allows theserapprochements between ecology and the far right.Antoine Dubiau is currently touring France and French-speaking Switzerland,hosted in June in the Center-Val-de-Loire region, then in Toulouse at thebeginning of September. Other dates are to come, inquire with the nearest UCLlocal group.Melissa (UCL Orleans)https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Lire-Dubiau-Ecofascismes_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
