The subject of this book is widely taught and publicly discussed
under the headlines racism, populism, and white supremacy.
Authoritarianism has for long been a well-established research
topic. This study, with its focus on a variety of political
attitudes in Germany and a theoretical background in Critical
Theory and psychoanalytic social psychology, is rather unique.

This book discusses right-wing extremism by analysing Germanophone
research on this topic for the first time in English, including
unique survey data from Germany and Austria. Highlighting how
questions of terminology can become complicated when country cases
are compared, the authors analyse theoretical and methodological
issues in relation to the question of right-wing extremism. In
Anglo-American academia, the term is often associated with fairly
rare phenomena in the form of extremist political groups, whereas
in Germany the term is often applied to a wide range of attitudes,
behaviours and parties, including those which operate more within
the mainstream political sphere. Covering an array of sub-fields
such as right-wing terrorism, iconography of the extreme right and
the Germanophone discussion on the differentiation of right-wing
populism and right-wing extremism, the authors account not only for
the centrality of right-wing extremist attitudes in Germanophone
research, but also point at its often overlooked relevance for the
phenomenon in general. Offering an important insight into the
nuanced definition of right-wing extremism across Europe and
enhancing both international debate and cross-country comparative
research, this book will be of interest to students and scholars
researching extremism, German politics and European politics more
generally.
Spätestens mit den Debatten zu einer zunehmenden Polarisierung der
deutschen und anderer europäischer Gesellschaften rückt die Frage
nach Prozessen der Radikalisierung in den Blick. Neben
individuellen Radikalisierungen sind es vor allem gesellschaftliche
Rahmenbedingungen, die für die Radikalisierung, manchmal sogar
ganzer Gruppen, verantwortlich zeichnen. Im vorliegenden Buch
werden unter Einbezug unterschiedlicher Perspektiven Prozesse der
Radikalisierung und damit verbundenen Co-Radikalisierung auf
rechtsextremer und muslimischer Seite untersucht und diskutiert.
Commodified Bodies examines the social practice of organ
transplantation and trafficking and scrutinises the increasingly
neoliberal tendencies in the medical system. It analyses phenomena
such as the denomination of human body parts as "raw materials" and
"commodities," or the arguments used by the proponents for a free
market solution. Moreover, it argues that modern medicine is still
linked with its religious roots. The commodification of body parts
is seen not as an imperialistic act of the market, but as the end
of a historical process as the notion of "fetishism" links the
market with the body. Marx's concept of commodity fetishism and
Sigmund Freud's theory of the perverted use of objects are modified
and adapted to the reconstruction of the joint beginnings of market
and medicine.
