«Un detalle siniestro en el uso de la palabra fascismo» is the essay by Santiago Gerchunoff published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (88 pages).
Santiago Gerchunoff asks what political emotion moves those who today resort to the word «fascismo» to designate an adversary, and reflects on the use of history as prophecy or warning. The essay exposes the sinister component of contemporary readings of the past and why history does not serve those purposes.
The book's subtitle is «Para qué no sirve la historia» and it belongs to the Nuevos cuadernos Anagrama collection.
A read for those interested in semantics, analysis of political discourse, and the public use of history and political terms.
