Far-right movements in numerous countries have achieved electoral victories that were once deemed highly improbable, and they have also developed a distinct cultural politics. These movements have adopted tactics from the left, moving from decorum to transgression, from conservative propriety to the frank sexualization of political figures and positions, and from appealing to the conscious normalcy of the \"silent majority\" to recasting themselves as a protest movement of and for the aggrieved. While these movements share a mandate for robust nationalism, they also cultivate a striking international solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume seeks to address aspects of the new right's cultural politics that raise new and urgent questions. How should we assess the disconcerting appropriations of strategies of minoritarian resistance by the new rights? How can we practice critique in the face of adversaries who claim to practice a critique of their own? How do seemingly post-normative versions of nationalism give rise to heightened forms of militarism, incarceration, censorship, and inequality? How should we understand the temporality of ethnonationalism, which combines a romance with archaic tradition, an ethos of disruption driven by tech futurism frequently tinged with accelerationist pathos, and a kitschy nostalgia for a hazily defined recent past, when things were \"greater\" than they are now?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSurveying nationalisms from Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Israel-Palestine, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Reaction Formations provides a critical account of these movements. By examining the ways in which the new right has appropriated and transformed cultural symbols, practices, and narratives, the book offers a timely and insightful analysis of the evolving political landscape. It sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by those who seek to navigate the complex terrain of contemporary nationalism and its cultural implications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 566g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 229 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781531503147\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44330592010490,"sku":"9781531503147","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688745986623_book.jpg?v=1688975606","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reaction-formations-the-subject-of-ethnonationalism-9781531503147","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
