This book contributes to the work of elucidating the new forms of
fascism and authoritarianism that arise today in intimate relation
with new mediatic and information technologies. It presents
elements of the connection between capitalism and fascism and makes
clear how fascism today uses the ambiguity of senses and meanings
as its most efficient way of infiltrating our reality and thereby
becoming unequivocal. The fascism of ambiguity is a fascism that
grows the more the ambiguities and paradoxical dimensions of the
contemporary situation become explicit. It departs from some
lessons of history regarding both historical fascism and some of
the main critical lines and thoughts produced in the beginning of
the 20th Century. It shows what is new in today's form of fascism,
discussing its connection to techno-mediatic capitalism, to the
dynamics of emptying meanings and senses through a technique of
rendering them ambiguous and exacerbated. It outlines some guiding
thoughts regarding the question of ambiguity and metapolitics today
and concludes by proposing two exercises of precision, through the
lenses of poetry and music, as a way to resist and counter-act the
fascist metapolitics of the ambiguity of meanings and senses.
