                                                 „Digital Far-Right Metapolitics from an Intersectional Perspective”

Held by Ov Cristian Norocel

Assoc. Prof. (docent) in Gender Studies & Political Science, Lund University  (Sweden)

"In the present lecture I examine the intersectional declinations of the far-right metapolitical project, by examining its politico-discursive production enabled by Web2.0 sociotechnical affordances against the wider context of contemporary multiple crises. More precisely, I focus on one key entity in the far-right ecosystem in Sweden, which has developed an extensive transnational intellectual project aimed to bring about a far-right ideological turn (also known as a metapolitical project). My explicit focus on the digital imbrications of gender and crises in the far-right masculinity performance at work in this metapolitical project. The intervention makes both an empirical and a theoretical contribution to the field of far-right studies."

This work is part of the project funded by Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) (VR2019-03363).
