The Rise of Sporty Fascism – Body politics in between Pilates, Marathon und Skinny-Tok

Fashion The Gaze

60 minutes
Sports bar

Fascist sport ideals are omnipresent on TikTok in the form of white slim bodies and narratives between discipline and self-surveillance. In this live podcast, we analyze the implications of aesthetics between Lululemon leggings and pro-ana lifestyle as part of a currently observable Rise of Fascism.

In »Fashion The Gaze«, Freya Herrmann and Vera Klocke talk once a month about the political implications of contemporary pop cultural phenomena. From neo-fascist tiktok trends to body politics and staging in current films and series: just trying to make sense of the culture and where the world is headed.
