					View No. 40 (2025): Scales of Power: cartographies of authoritarian experiences in Europe and the Americas yesterday and today

The dossier, organized by Karl Schurster (University of Vigo; University of Pernambuco), Tatyana de Amaral Maia (Rio de Janeiro State University), and David Nemer (University of Virginia), examines the continuities and transformations of authoritarian right-wing movements from the 20th century to the new far-right formations of the 21st century. Drawing on the history of European fascisms and Latin American dictatorships, the texts explore how, after democratization, personalist, denialist, and moralist movements have reemerged - now relying on digital media and democratic mechanisms to erode democracy from within. Bringing together studies on Brazilian Integralism, the civil-military dictatorship, and contemporary radical right-wing politics, the dossier offers a transnational and comparative perspective on these phenomena, emphasizing the role of History in understanding and resisting new forms of authoritarianism.
