How have digital tools and networks transformed the far right's
strategies and transnational prospects? This volume presents a
unique critical survey of the online and offline tactics, symbols
and platforms that are strategically remixed by contemporary
far-right groups in Europe and the US. It features thirteen
accessible essays by an international range of expert scholars,
policy advisors and activists who offer informed answers to a
number of urgent practical and theoretical questions: How and why
has the internet emboldened extreme nationalisms? What
counter-cultural approaches should civil societies develop in
response?
Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly
influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often
viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of
daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues
that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits
of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This
collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists,
and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the
knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite
social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge,
Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both
inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid
locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
In Europe, the far right is gaining momentum on the streets and in
parliaments. By taking a close look at contemporary practices and
strategies of far-right actors, the present volume explores this
right-ward shift of European publics and politics. It assembles
analyses of changing mobilization patterns and their effects on the
local, national and transnational level. International experts,
among them Tamir Bar-On, Liz Fekete, Matthew Kott, and Graham
Macklin, scrutinize new forms of coalition building, mainstreaming
and transnationalization tendencies as aspects of diversified
far-right politics in Europe.
