Initially, the conference was supposed to take place at the University of Helsinki in August 2020, but it had to be re-scheduled due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation. After analysing the situation and the options, we decided to organise the conference fully online as it became clear that the global uncertainty regarding the pandemic and related travel restrictions would continue. The theme of the conference is Colonial/Racial Histories, National Narratives and Transnational Migration. The conference aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for discussion on how the colonial/racial past and national narratives of perceived homogeneity are shaping the ways that today’s diasporic communities, racialized minorities, and Indigenous Peoples are treated in the Nordic societies and how racial and class inequalities characterise current Nordic societies. The conference also seeks to open up discussions related to themes of resistances, resurgences and alternative horizons beyond such hierarchies. The Nordic countries have long been perceived themselves as outsiders to colonialism, embracing narratives of the progressive, equality pursuing, and human rights defending nation-states that stand out in international comparison. This ‘Nordic exceptionalism’ can be understood as a form of ‘white innocence’, building on wilful ignorance of the Nordic countries’ active participation in colonial projects both overseas and in the Arctic region. 1 Our aim has been to encourage multidisciplinary approaches and we are very excited about the mix of participants with various backgrounds, including arts, in exploring the sense of belonging as well as narrating and rewriting histories. Hence, we hope that the conference will be an inspiring platform for new encounters and collaborations. The large number of registered conference participants – over 550 – not only tells about interest in the conference themes, but also about the need to come together with colleagues from Nordic countries and beyond during these exceptional times. One advantage this year in providing the conference in the online format is that this makes participation possible even for those who might not otherwise be able to travel from afar. Despite having a long history of organising the conference series by both associations, this is our very first online conference. We realise that this online experience may be the first of its kind to many of the participants, as well. Therefore, we have worked diligently to ensure that everything will run as smoothly as possible. Having said that, we ask for understanding in the case that unexpected technical hiccups arise. You will receive links to all conference events listed in the programme a few days before the conference. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Its follow-up, La forza della ragione (The Force of Reason), has already sold 800,000 copies since its publication in 2004. In other words, Oriana Fallaci has emerged after 9/11 as the strongest and most vocal Italian representative of the “clash of civilisations” theory. This essay analyses the constitutive elements of her discourse (Italian nationalism, values instead of history and politics, and violent speech conflating Islam, terrorism and immigrants) and tries to understand its appeal and the sources of its authority in Fallaci’s career, in order to outline the specific Italian version of the clash of civilisations “theory”.

  • Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian
    Aryan Nations/Church of Jesus Christ Christian This document is an archived copy of an older ADL report and may not reflect the most current facts or developments related to its subject matter. INTRODUCTION Recent years have not been kind to Aryan Nations, once the country's most well-known neo-Nazi outpost. Bankrupted by a lawsuit from a mother and son who were assaulted by Aryan Nations guards, the group lost its Idaho compound in 2001. Though he continued to serve as Aryan Nations’ leader, Richard Butler suffered the effects of age and ill health, and the group splintered into factions in 2002. Butler claimed to be reorganizing Aryan Nations but died in September 2004, leaving the group’s future as uncertain as ever. Founder and Leader: Richard Butler (1918-2004) Splinter groups (and leaders): Tabernacle of Phineas Priesthood ( Charles Juba, based in Pennsylvania); Church of the Sons of Yahweh (Morris Gullett, based in Louisiana) Founded: Mid-1970s Headquarters : Hayden, Idaho Background: Butler first became involved with the Christian Identity movement after serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He studied under Wesley Swift, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, until Swift died. Butler then formed Aryan Nations. Media: Internet, videos, posters, e-mail, chat rooms, online bulletin boards, conferences. Ideology: Christian Identity, white supremacy, neo-Nazi, paramilitary Connections: Aryan Nations has had members in common with several other white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, including National Alliance, the Ku Klux Klan and The Silent Brotherhood/The Order Recent Developments: Once the most well-known neo-Nazi group in the United States, Aryan Nations has suffered substantially in recent years due to Butler’s ill health, and a lawsuit that cost the group its Northern Idaho compound in 2001.

  • Identitarian Movement
    Identitarian movement The identitarian movement (otherwise known as Identitarianism) is a European and North American[2][3][4][5] white nationalist[5][6][7] movement originating in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement deriving from the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) Génération Identitaire and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti- immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.[8] The movement is a part of the counter-jihad movement,[9] with many in it believing in the white genocide conspiracy theory.[10][11] It also supports the concept of a "Europe of 100 flags".[12] The movement has also been described as being a part of the global alt-right.[13][14][15] Lambda, the symbol of the Identitarian movement; intended to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae[1] Contents Geography In Europe In North America Links to violence and neo-Nazism References Further reading External links Geography In Europe The main Identitarian youth movement is Génération identitaire in France, a youth wing of the Bloc identitaire party. In Sweden, identitarianism has been promoted by a now inactive organisation Nordiska förbundet which initiated the online encyclopedia Metapedia.[16] It then mobilised a number of "independent activist groups" similar to their French counterparts, among them Reaktion Östergötland and Identitet Väst, who performed a number of political actions, marked by a certain

However, with recent and increasing recognition of indigenous people’s rights challenging the concepts at the heart of human rights theory, a new light from which to look at mobilizing the law has emerged. This paper examines the mobilization of law within and between two spheres: international norms and their domestic implementing legislation, and the local setting in the communities of the Mapuche indigenous people in southern Argentina.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School THE ORGANIZATIONAL LANDSCAPE OF WHITE SUPREMACY A Thesis in Sociology by Isaiah Gerber Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2019 ii The thesis of Isaiah Gerber was reviewed and approved* by the following: Gary Adler Assistant Professor of Sociology Thesis Advisor John McCarthy Distinguished Professor of Sociology Charles Seguin Assistant Professor of Sociology and Social Data Analytics Jennifer Van Hook Roy C. Buck Professor of Sociology and Demography Director, Graduate Program in Sociology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Little past research has examined how the partitioning of the white supremacist social movement industry (SMI) compares to other SMIs. This is in spite of evidence that organizations within this SMI may be unique in their deployment of protest tactics and willingness to utilize violence. Scholarly analysis of other SMIs indicates that identifying diversity in organizational characteristics like professionalization, membership, frames, and organizational strategies is useful for partitioning SMIs. By evaluating the white supremacist SMI in terms of these four organizational characteristics, this study finds substantial evidence that there are eight distinct organizational clusters operating within the white supremacist SMI, that this diversity is driven by deployed organizational strategies, and that this SMI is unique in its use of violence and willingness to deploy a merchandizing-based organizational strategy. These findings provide both an alternative framework through which to understand diversity in the SMI of white supremacy, as well as evidence that the SMI of white supremacy is distinct within the US social movement sector in its deployment of violence and the merchandizing organizational strategies.

    STATE-DIALOGUE IN ITALY AND GERMANY FOR PROMOTING INTEGRATION OF MUSLIMS. Italy and Germany are following the example of other EU-countries and have started to establish a dialogue between the state and Muslim communities in order to promote integration. The objective of these initiatives is to develop joint and commonly owned solutions with representatives of Muslim communities, and to strengthen the moderate voices with a view to preventing radicalization. Due to divisions within and the heterogeneity of the Muslim minorities in both countries it has so far not been possible to establish single Muslim representations with genuinely representative organs. Therefore both initiatives in Italy and Germany followed a top-down approach with the Ministers of Interior carefully selecting the members of these Councils and thus establishing a forum of state- dialogue for the first time. The future will show whether this policy is successful. Hans-Christian Jasch* * The author is a Government Councillor in the German Federal Ministry of the Interior and spent 2005/6 as a fellow of the Robert-Bosch-Foundation-Bellevue-Programme in Rome in the cabinet of the Italian Minister of the Interior.

  • Contradictions in Multicultural Indigenous Policies: a Systemic Analysis of the Chilean State’S Response to Mapuche Demands
    JEANNE W. SIMON Universidad de Concepción [email protected] CLAuDIO gONZáLEZ PARRA, PH.D Universidad de Concepción [email protected] JAMES V. FENELON California State University, San Bernardino [email protected] ContrAdICtIonS In MULtICULtUrAL IndIGEnoUS PoLICIES: A SYStEMIC Analysis oF tHE CHILEAn StAtE’S rESPonSE to MAPUCHE dEMAndS Summary Even though no part of the world is untouched by the global economy, the role played by the State continues to have an impact on the resistance of indigenous peoples, and Chile is no exception. At present, the Chilean government presents several contrasting faces to indigenous peoples. On the one hand, it offers mul- ticultural public policies based in “Development with Identity”, whose formal objective is to generate economic and social development from the ground up. In contrast, in areas where the indigenous communities are in conflict with large companies over the control of natural resources, the Chilean government considers these communities to be terrorists, denying their basic legal rights. At present, there is a diversity of positions within the Mapuche movement and within Mapuche communities with respect to the Chilean State, although the media tend to emphasize only the violent conflicts. Our paper analyzes the development of the “conflict” between the Mapuche and the Chilean State due to the extractive activities of private companies from a systemic perspective, situating this conflict within the larger international political and economic system. 96 JEANNE W.
