This volume aims to question the recent revival of neo-nationalist
policies in the light of what unconscious fantasies are involved in
these developments. It examines both recent movements of right-wing
extremism and the way in which rearticulated neo-ethnic ideas have
been adopted by mainstream politicians and in mainstream public
discourse. Politicians from other than the right-wing populist
parties have tended to resist specific ways of talking that are
considered too extremist, rather than their underlying frame of
interpretation. Governments across Europe have adopted
anti-immigrant and anti-Roma policies. Xenophobia and hostility
towards 'others' is on the rise, along with appeals to "Tradition
and Security". 'Cultures of fear' are linked with fantasies of
fusion or 'imagined sameness'. Alongside the image of the nation as
a mother and/or father, Reich (1933) called attention to the
fantasy of the nation as a body, echoed in Money-Kyrle's (1939)
characterization of 'group hypochondria' in connection with the
burning of witches and heretics.
