Yue Yixin is a PhD candidate in Aesthetics at the School of Philosophy, Fudan University, Shanghai. Her research interests include media philosophy, film and moving-image theory, intermediality, visual culture, and German critical theory. From November 2026 to November 2027, she will conduct research at the University of Bonn under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jens Schröter, supported by a fellowship from Fudan University.

Her research project, Messages and Their Echoes: A Study of Alexander Kluge’s Media Philosophy investigates the relationship between media, public experience, and critical knowledge in the works of German filmmaker and writer Alexander Kluge. Focusing on his films, television productions, interviews, and writings, the project examines how montage, repetition, and transformations across media reorganize images, narratives, and historical materials. By connecting Kluge´s artistic practices with his theoretical work on the public sphere and the institutional conditions of media production, the project explores how media can create spaces for critical reflection and public discourse.

Once-obscure connections between reactionary thought and the tech world have moved from subcultural margins into policy, institutions, and the infrastructures of everyday life. This issue approaches technofascism as a contested constellation in which technical systems and technological imaginaries are mobilised in the service of hierarchy and exclusion. Its contributions examine this constellation across infrastructures, epistemologies, affects, political economy, race and gender, colonial extraction, and attacks on democratic institutions, testing both the analytical force and the limits of the term "technofascism“.

Einst kaum bekannte Verbindungen zwischen reaktionärem Denken und der Tech-Welt haben sich von den Rändern der Subkulturen in die Politik, in Institutionen und in die Infrastrukturen des Alltags verlagert. Diese Ausgabe betrachtet den Technofaschismus als umstrittene Konstellation, in der technische Systeme und technologische Vorstellungswelten im Dienste von Hierarchien und Ausgrenzung mobilisiert werden. Die Beiträge untersuchen diese Konstellation unter den Gesichtspunkten von Infrastrukturen, Erkenntnistheorien, Affekten, politischer Ökonomie, Rasse und Geschlecht, kolonialer Ausbeutung sowie Angriffen auf demokratische Institutionen und prüfen dabei sowohl die analytische Kraft als auch die Grenzen des Begriffs „Technofaschismus“.
