This book traces the re-emergence of nationalism in the media,
popular culture and politics, and the normalization of far-right
nativist ideologies and attitudes in Austria between 1995 and 2015,
within the framework of Critical Discourse Studies. In doing so, it
brings together a range of theoretical and empirical approaches to
identity politics, contemporary popular culture, far-right populism
and commemoration. While contradictory yet intertwined tendencies
towards renationalization and transnationalization have often
framed debates about European identities, the so-called refugee
crisis of 2015 intensified and polarized these debates. The
COVID-19 pandemic, as another major crisis, saw nation-states react
by closing borders, while symbols of banal nationalism
proliferated. The data under discussion here, drawn from a variety
of empirical studies, suggest that changes in memory politics-the
way past events are collectively remembered and tied into current
political discourses-are also linked to the dynamics of migration;
the influence of financial and climate crises; changing gender
politics; and a new transnational European politics of the past.
Accordingly, the authors assess current challenges to liberal
democracies, as well as fundamental human and constitutional
rights, in relation to new trends of renationalization across
Europe and beyond.
