Abstract
The rise of rightwing populism in the last decade, but more recently also the seemingly "authoritarian" measures taken by the state in protection against the COVID-19 pandemic, inspire ever more frequent comparisons with historical fascism. The paper discusses to what extent such a diachronic comparison is empirically and methodologically sound. The analysis is based in Max Weber's concept of "ideal type", which can be used as a tertium comparationis. The concept of "fascist minimum", which systematizes the structural features of fascist movements and regimes, provides a standard of comparison that combines theoretical rigor and empirical substance. Applying the concept of "fascist minimum", the article examines if and to what extent current tendencies of and in German politics deserve to be called "fascist".
期刊介绍：
Berliner Journal für Soziologie (“Berlin Journal of Sociology”), edited by the Institute of Sociology at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Institute of Social Sciences at the Humboldt University Berlin, publishes double-blind peer-reviewed articles on classical and modern theoretical approaches, essays on current problem areas of sociological discourse, and research notes presenting new empirical findings. Focussed issues and review essays reflect innovative developments within the German and international social sciences and inform about the state of research in central areas of sociology.
The journal was founded in 1991 on the initiative of the East German Society of Sociology. It views itself as a general sociological journal that publishes contributions from all research and subject areas of sociology. From the very beginning, the programmatic aim has been to provide a forum for the discussion and further development of sociological problems in the light of contemporary theoretical and social developments.
Two major topics have been at the journal''s core and will continue to shape its contents in the future: Transformation and Culture. The journal deals with the socio-ecological upheaval that modern societies are undergoing. Globalisation, changes in working society and lifestyles, digitalisation, social conflicts up to new wars, new challenges for democracy, populism and nationalism as well as gender relations are important topics of a renewed Great Transformation. Cultural sociology and comparative cultural research deal with developments in these fields in a special way. The BJS therefore continues to devote its attention to such perspectives.
