"The Aesthetics of Hate" examines the writings of a motley
collection of interwar far-right intellectuals, showing that they
defined Frenchness in racial, gendered, and sexual terms. A broad,
ambitious cultural and intellectual history, the book offers a
provocative reinterpretation of a topic that has long been the
subject of controversy.
In works infused with rhetorics of abjection, disgust, and
dissolution, such writers as Maulnier, Brasillach, Celine, and
Blanchot imagined the nation through figures deemed illegitimate or
inferior--Jews, colonial subjects, homosexuals, women. Sanos argues
that these intellectuals offered an "aesthetics of hate,"
reinventing a language of far-right nationalism by appealing to the
realm of beauty and the sublime for political solutions.
By acknowledging the constitutive relationship of antisemitism and
colonial racism at the heart of these canonical writers'
nationalism, this book makes us rethink how aesthetics and politics
function, how race is imagined and defined, how gender structured
far-right thought, and how we conceive of French intellectualism
and fascism.
