TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Long live death! Fascim, resurrection, immortality JO - Journal of political ideologies A1 - Neocleous, M. SP - 31 EP - 49 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - This article argues that we need to take seriously the centrality of the dead to fascist ideology. Organized around the fascist slogan 'Long Live Death!', the article examines a host of fascist claims and practices centered on the dead. These include Martin Heidegger's suggestion that we can be with the dead, and a range of provocations, tropes and ceremonies which suggest that the dead are either still present or are about to be resurrected. Through a critique of other categories which have been used to grapple with this dimension of fascism-necrophilia (Fromm), suicide (Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari), survival (Theweleit)-the article argues that fascism is animated by ideas about resurrection and assumptions about immortality. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd.
