Written clearly and precisely by Umberto Eco, the work presents an important and necessary reflection on the meaning of history and the importance of memory.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eAn invitation\u003c\/em\u003e — a warning — to \"forget\"; to not consider this evil as overcome — is what Umberto Eco does in \u003cem\u003eThe Eternal Fascism\u003c\/em\u003e . To remind us that \" \u003cem\u003eUr-Fascism\u003c\/em\u003e \", as the author calls it, \"is still around us, sometimes in civilian clothes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe term \"fascism\" is easily adaptable because it is possible to eliminate one or more aspects of a fascist regime, and it will continue to be recognized as such. Among the possible characteristics of \u003cem\u003eUr-Fascism\u003c\/em\u003e , the \"eternal fascism\" of the title, are fear of difference, opposition to critical analysis, machismo, repression and control of sexuality, the exaltation of a \"leader,\" and a constant state of threat. These characteristics cannot be combined into a single system; many contradict each other and are typical of other forms of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough for one of them to appear for a fascist nebula to form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1997 in the book \u003cem\u003e\"Five Moral Writings\u003c\/em\u003e ,\" this new edition reaches readers at a time of rising worldwide flirtation with fascism—which, as Eco denounces, far from being merely a living historical moment in Italy, Europe (and Brazil) in the 20th century, is a constant threat to our society. This important and necessary reflection teaches us to think about the meaning of history and the importance of memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"Ur-fascism, or eternal fascism, is still all around us, sometimes in civilian clothes. It would be very comforting for us if someone appeared on the world stage and said: 'I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Blackshirts to parade through the Italian squares again!' Unfortunately, life is not that easy! Ur-fascism can return in more innocent guises. Our duty is to unmask it and point the finger at each of its new forms - every day, in every place in the world.\" - Umberto Eco\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159543759100,"sku":"9788501116154","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/655586bf98938ecac5569fa9d60565a2_3e4baec5-6a54-4841-8724-0934d8a1571c.jpg?v=1778814737","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-fascismo-eterno","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
