On 10th November 2023, 10.00 –
12.00, Negulescu hall (FSPUB, str. Spiru Haret nr 8) CPES invites you to the
conference
„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).
The conference is addressed to
the academic community of UB and other universities in Bucharest. PhD students
and MPES students are also warmly welcomed.
