Fascism is in many ways a creeping disease, it nests itself, it spreads slowly, it changes society in tone, in behaviour, also in opportunism, in the indifference of those who go along with the new normality. As a university and as citizens, we have a duty to expose fascism and make its more recent examples visible. What do current ‘fascisms’ have in common with historical ones? The Italian writer and semiotician Umberto Eco, who died in 2016, defined 14 typical elements of ‘eternal fascism’ in an essay. These 14 elements were researched and designed by teams of students from the Design and Narrative Media department under the guidance of Oliver Kartak, Katharina Uschan and Christian Schlager.
