A Looming Fourth Reich? On Counterfactuals, The Man in the High Castle, and Right-Wing Populism
Here are some more
reflections – this time in Vice -- on the relationship between the current
cultural wave of counterfactualism and the rise of right-wing populism.
Here’s the introductory
teaser:
“The Amazon Prime show The Man in the High Castle [moves] onto a second season of
exploring that ever-present – and increasingly pertinent – question of what may
have happened if Hitler had won the war. We asked counterfactual 20th century
historian Professor Gavriel Rosenfeld, about whether he thinks Nigel Farage,
Donald Trump and Marine le Pen really are ushering in some kind of Fourth
Reich, or if we are all just overreacting a bit.”
