Between 27 and 29 April 2018, approximately seventy academics from all over Europe met in Budapest to discuss fascism at the first comfas convention. The theme for this inaugural convention was ‘Comparative Fascist Studies and the Transnational Turn’. The International Association for Comparative Fascist Studies (comfas) was originally conceived in 2015 with the idea of creating a nonprofit and non-political community of researchers, ranging from graduate students to established professors. Not restricting itself exclusively to the narrow topic of European fascism of the mid-twentieth century, the organization would aspire to facilitate an interdisciplinary and collaborative scholarly-network that includes the whole spectrum of right-of-center politics and related social issues, including ultra-nationalism, authoritarianism, political violence, racism, genocide, and the Holocaust. Three years later, the original idea was finally put into action. The conference incorporated an overwhelming amount of presentation panels, public lectures, open debates, and would culminate in a reflection discussion on how the association could grow and improve in the future.

比较法西斯研究和跨国转向：第一次 comfas 公约

2018 年 4 月 27 日至 29 日，来自欧洲各地的大约 70 名学者在布达佩斯会面，在第一届 comfas 大会上讨论法西斯主义。这次首届大会的主题是“比较法西斯研究和跨国转向”。国际比较法西斯研究协会 (comfas) 最初于 2015 年成立，其理念是创建一个非营利和非政治的研究人员社区，从研究生到知名教授。该组织不仅仅局限于 20 世纪中叶欧洲法西斯主义这个狭隘的话题，它还渴望促进一个跨学科和协作的学术网络，其中包括中心权利政治和相关社会问题的整个范围，包括极端-民族主义，威权主义，政治暴力，种族主义、种族灭绝和大屠杀。三年后，最初的想法终于付诸实施。会议包含了大量的演讲小组、公开讲座、公开辩论，并将就协会未来如何发展和改进进行反思讨论。
