​
The author critically examines how the alt-right has leveraged social media, internet forums, and other digital platforms to disseminate their extremist views and recruit followers.

The Dark Posthuman
Dehumanization, Technology, and the Atlantic World
 Stephanie Polsky
 
​
 
The Dark Posthuman: Dehumanization, Technology, and the Atlantic World explores how liberal humanism first enlivened, racialized, and gendered global cartographies, and how memory, ancestry, expression, and other aspects of social identity founded in its theories and practices made for the advent of the category of the posthuman through the dimensions of cultural, geographic, political, social, and scientific classification. The posthuman is very much the product of world-building narratives that have their beginnings in the commercial franchise and are fundamentally rooted in science, governance, and economics around the hegemonic appropriation of environments and commodification of bodies that initially fuelled white settler life worlds and continue to be operational in the way we conceive of these worlds as continuous ontological formations. The want has always been for ownership of any of these dimensions of being without regard to condition, to not remain stranded as the subsidiary of another’s being, to another’s claim to humanity, and finally, to escape the suffocating confines of an instrumental ontology that suggests a subcategory of humanity without rights onto itself. The Dark Posthuman distinguishes the posthuman’s place within both the liberal and neoliberal imaginary and reveals how its appearance first entrenched itself through the avarice of English settler colonialism, and subsequently, through the paranoia of American slavery. This same figure of the posthuman played a crucial role in the functional adaptation of Cold War behavioural cybernetics, and thereafter, in the fetishization of technology within the era of global financialization. The shadowing of this arrangement during and beyond the long duration of humanity’s domination of this world becomes the structural web work of this book.

Male Fantasies, Volume 2: Psychoanalyzing the White Terror
Klaus Theweleit
This is the second volume of Theweleit's extraordinary study of the fantasies of some of the men centrally involved in the rise of Nazism. The author develops his account by focusing on the representation of masculinity and homosexuality and their relation to the preparations for and conduct of war. He offers a psychoanalytic interpretation of the role of warfare as a search for sensation without desire or pleasure, leading to an image of the body which emphasizes hardness, self-discipline and, ultimately, violence.
​
This is much more than a book about culture of warfare: it is about sexuality and power, about gender, representation and violence. It is a document of our times which will be of interest to anyone concerned with modern history, contemporary politics and social, political and literary theory.
 
 
The New Far Right, Subcultural Theory, and the Sociology of Emotions
Jeppe Fuglsang Larsen &Sune Qvotrup Jensen
Received 29 Aug 2022, Accepted 22 Dec 2022, Published online: 04 Jan 2023
 https://doi.org/10.1080/1057610X.2022.2163458
 
This article argues that a theoretical synthesis between subcultural theory and the sociology of emotions can provide a way to grasp the esthetic and emotional appeal of the new far right. This is illustrated through a multimodal analysis of fashwave music. We find that the central emotion conveyed by the music is a variation of restorative nostalgia accompanied by a sense of loss and anger. The analysis demonstrates the potential of the theoretical perspective and contributes empirically to studies of the new far-right movement.
 
 
The Identitarian movement and fashwave music: The nostalgia and anger of the new far right in Denmark

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  30 August 2022
Through perspectives from the sociology of emotions and multimodality as an analytical tool, this article analyses the cultural aspects of the Identitarian movement through the case of the Danish Generation Identitær (GI) and its online videos. The analysis shows that the group shares an understanding of societal problems and emotions of nostalgia and anger connected to this worldview and demonstrates that the group's use of fashwave music style fits its worldview and emotions. Furthermore, the article argues that the coded language associated with fashwave music is part of what defines the community of GI and that the music binds its members to a collective consciousness. Therefore, this article presents an analysis of the cultural style of fashwave, an important contribution to the study of the broader cultural and social ecology of newer far-right groups and milieus, such as the Identitarian movement.
