Imagining Alternative Worlds explores how the far right employs fictionality as a powerful political tool in the 21st century.



Imagining Alternative Worlds

explores how the far right employs fictionality as a powerful political tool in the 21st century.

It does so by examining the far right’s own cultural production and commentary through a large collection of its novels, novellas, short stories, and film reviews, illustrating how the ‘alternative worlds’ articulated in such cultural products convey its ideology. More specifically, the book identifies and analyses four distinct far-right cultural imaginaries – a ‘primordial’, a ‘nostalgic’, a ‘promethean’, and a ‘nihilist’ one – that each subtly conveys different yet linked ideas about space, time, ‘race’, gender, and heroic identity. By drawing attention to the cultural heterogeneity of the contemporary far right, Imagining Alternative Worlds offers key insights into the dreams, identities, and norms such actors hope will define our future.

The book will be of interest to researchers of the far right, of literary, media and communication studies, and of social and cultural history.

Recenzijos

Few monographs map out virtually unexplored terrain; fewer still do it with the thoroughness and panache of Imagining Alternative Worlds. Kųlvraa and Forchtners study of the far-rights often-violent cultural imaginaries in film reviews and, in particular, prose fiction, is essential reading for all those interested in how right-wing extremists can attract followers beyond stale political rallies, turgid tracts and superficial memes - through what one far-right writer called the psychic impact of lusty imagination. Different fictional genres from the historicised, futuristic, or pastoral to the apocalyptic and much in-between are deftly examined here with sensitive focus upon racism, gender, far-right utopias and more. As ground-breaking as it gets in this field, this book demands, and will truly reward, a wide readership.

Matthew Feldman, Emeritus Professor in the Modern History of Ideas

This excellent new study examines the wide variety of fictive texts developed by the far right and importantly takes them seriously as cultural artefacts that sketch out core ideological themes. Drawing out the powerful, affective dimensions found in these works, Imagining Alternative Worlds expertly traces the contours of such fictions and explores their ability to re-imagine the past, present and future in ways that imbue potent political meaning to extreme activism. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the inner workings of far-right culture.

Paul Jackson, Professor in the History of Radicalism and Extremism, University of Northampton

This innovative book makes a significant and overdue intervention into studies of the far-right with its focus on fiction and reviews of mainstream popular culture. Revealing the heterogeneous yet interconnected ideal worlds and subjectivities constructed by the contemporary globalised far-right, it demonstrates an urgent need for attention to cultural imaginaries. The book is a must read for researchers who want to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and power of far-right cultures.
