  • The Global New Right and the Flemish Identitarian Movement Schild & Vrienden a Case Study
    Paper The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden A case study by Ico Maly© (Tilburg University) [email protected] December 2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden. A case study. Ico Maly Abstract: This paper argues that nationalism, and nationalistic activism in particular are being globalized. At least certain fringes of radical nationalist activists are organized as ‘cellular systems’ connected and mobilize-able on a global scale giving birth to what I call ‘global nationalistic activism’. Given this change in nationalist activism, I claim that we should abandon all ‘methodological nationalism’. Methodological nationalism fails in arriving at a thorough understanding of the impact, scale and mobilization power (Tilly, 1974) of contemorary ‘national(istic)’ political activism. Even more, it inevitably will contribute to the naturalization or in emic terms the meta-political goals of global nationalist activists. The paradox is of course evident: global nationalism uses the scale- advantages, network effects and the benefits of cellular structures to fight for the (re)construction of the old 19th century vertebrate system par excellence: the (blood and soil) nation. Nevertheless, this, I will show, is an indisputable empirical reality: the many local nationalistic battles are more and more embedded in globally operating digital infrastructures mobilizing militants from all corners of the world for nationalist causes at home. Nationalist activism in the 21st century, so goes my argument, has important global dimensions which are easily repatriated for national use.

  • Nationalist Networks and Transnational Opportunities
    STV004 Spring 2007 Supervisor: Anders Uhlin Department of Political Science Nationalist Networks and Transnational Opportunities An Illustration of GAM and PULOs Transnational Activism Jens Bölling Abstract As a reaction against unjust policies and repression the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Indonesia and the Pattani United Liberation Organization (PULO) in Thailand were formed at the end of the 1970s. Though their agendas have developed during the years, their demands have usually been centred on claims for independence based on nationalist arguments. GAM and PULO have used different tools in their contention against the Indonesian respectively Thai authorities ranging from armed force to political negotiations. This thesis sets out to investigate the transnational dimension of nationalist movements. It argues that globalization processes have caused changes in social movement’s contextual environment that facilitates the establishment of transnational networks. Based on previous research such as scholar-written books and articles, reports, news articles and statements from activists, this thesis uses the examples of GAM and PULO to illustrate how nationalist movements use transnational opportunities, participate in domestic and international politics simultaneously, draw on a wide range of resources, and engage in information exchange and lobbying. By doing so they are using the transnational arena as a tool to reach political goals at the domestic level. Key words: Asia, globalization, political opportunities, transnational activism,

  • An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right
    THE OTHER RADICALISM: AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN EXTREME RIGHT IDEOLOGY, POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 1975-1995 JAMES SALEAM A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy Department Of Government And Public Administration University of Sydney Australia December 1999 INTRODUCTION Nothing, except being understood by intelligent people, gives greater pleasure, than being misunderstood by blunderheads. Georges Sorel. _______________________ This Thesis was conceived under singular circumstances. The author was in custody, convicted of offences arising from a 1989 shotgun attack upon the home of Eddie Funde, Representative to Australia of the African National Congress. On October 6 1994, I appeared for Sentence on another charge in the District Court at Parramatta. I had been convicted of participation in an unsuccessful attempt to damage a vehicle belonging to a neo-nazi informer. My Thesis -proposal was tendered as evidence of my prospects for rehabilitation and I was cross-examined about that document. The Judge (whose Sentence was inconsequential) said: … Mr Saleam said in evidence that his doctorate [sic] of philosophy will engage his attention for the foreseeable future; that he has no intention of using these exertions to incite violence.1 I pondered how it was possible to use a Thesis to incite violence. This exercise in courtroom dialectics suggested that my thoughts, a product of my experiences in right-wing politics, were considered acts of subversion. I concluded that the Extreme Right was ‘The Other Radicalism’, understood by State agents as odorous as yesteryear’s Communist Party. My interest in Extreme Right politics derived from a quarter-century involvement therein, at different levels of participation.

  • Eugenics and Racial Anthropology in the Ukrainian Radical Nationalist Tradition
    Science in Context (2019), 32,67–91 doi:10.1017/S0269889719000048 RESEARCH ARTICLE Eugenics and racial anthropology in the Ukrainian radical nationalist tradition Per Anders Rudling Lund University, Lund, Sweden and National University of Singapore, Singapore Emails: [email protected], [email protected] Argument Eugenics and race played significant roles in Ukrainian interwar nationalism, yet remain largely unstudied. The Ukrainian nationalists’ understanding of the racial makeup of their imagined community was contradictory as they struggled to reconcile their desire for racial “purity” with the realities of significant variations between the populations inhabiting the enormous territories which they sought to include in their intended state project. The “turn to the right” over the 1930s placed an increased onus on race, and eugenics came to occupy an increasingly prominent place in Ukrainian radical nationalism from around 1936. In 1941, the leading Ukrainian far-right organization, the OUN had developed a project for eugenic engineering, for their aborted state, declared in L’viv on June 30, 1941. Racial conceptualiza- tions of the Ukrainian community figured prominently well into the Cold War era, gaining a new actuality and meaning in an émigré community dispersed across several countries. Keywords: Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists; eugenics; race; Teodosius Dobzhansky; Iaroslav Stets’ko; Dmytro Dontsov; anti-Semitism Introduction Only in recent years has the intellectual history of eugenics in Eastern Europe become the sub- ject of a more systematic academic inquiry. A number of important studies have significantly expanded our understanding of eugenic thought in the European states that emerged following the collapse of the multiethnic empires at the end of World War I (Turda and Weindling 2007; Boskovic and Hann 2013; Felder and Weindling 2013; Turda 2015).

CHAPTER 9 When Is a Diaspora Not a Diaspora? Rethinking Nation-Centered Narratives about Germans in Habsburg East Central Europe Pieter Judson With this chapter I want to encourage German historians to broaden their understanding of the term German beyond a nation-state-cen­ tered concept that for too long has privileged the German state founded in 1871 as the social, cultural, and political embodiment of a German nation. I suggest that communities in Habsburg East Central Europe, popularly constructed by German politicians and historians alike in the interwar period as diasporas, could not possibly have seen themselves in these terms much before 1918. When such communities did adopt a more nationalist identity in the post-1918 period, they usu­ ally referred back to prewar ideologies for guidance, traditions that had rarely made their relationship to Germany a necessary component of community identity.

  • Of White Hegemony, Neonationalist Femininities and Antiracist Feminism
    Women's Studies International Forum 68 (2018) 157–163 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Women's Studies International Forum journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/wsif The ‘crisis’ of white hegemony, neonationalist femininities and antiracist T feminism Suvi Keskinen Swedish School of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, Snellmaninkatu 12, P.O. Box 16, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The rise of neonationalist politics and racist activism has characterised many European countries in recent years. Sexuality Moreover, there is a growing public focus on gendered and sexualised intimacies. These two tendencies have Gender increasingly intertwined and sexual violence has become a site for struggles over feminist and (anti)racist Whiteness politics. The article examines what I call the ‘crisis’ of white hegemony arising in the aftermath of the arrival of a Racism large number of refugees in 2015–2016 and the different strategies that women's and feminist activism has Refugees developed. Within white nationalism, there is an upsurge of ‘white border guard femininities’: white women who Feminism mobilise on social media and in far-right groups. Simultaneously, antiracist feminist activism has strengthened. It seeks to confront racist discourses of foreign perpetrators and to redirect the discussion by addressing structural aspects of racial and gendered hierarchies and voicing experiences of harassment that are bypassed in the public discussions. Introduction found new channels through social media and developed multiple platforms on the Internet (e.g. Horsti & Nikunen, 2013; Keskinen, Gender and sexuality have not only been by-products of colonial 2014). In neonationalist rhetoric, racialising discourses of violence and racial encounters, but essential for their (re)structuring.

  • Nationalism and the Cultivation of Culture
    Nations and Nationalism 12 (4), 2006, 559–578. Nationalism and the cultivation of culture JOEP LEERSSEN University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands ABSTRACT. On the basis of an extensive sample of European source material, the article investigates the meaning and importance of ‘culture’ in cultural nationalism. The author argues that European cultural nationalism in the nineteenth century followed a separate dynamic and chronology from political nationalism. Cultural nationalism involved an intense cross-border traffic of ideas and intellectual initiatives, and its participating actors often operated extraterritorially and in multi-national intellectual networks. This means that cultural nationalism needs to be studied on a supranational comparative basis rather than country-by-country, concentrating on the exchange and transfer of ideas and activities. A working model is proposed which may serve to bring these ideas and activities into focus. In the following pages, I want to present what I consider a useful program- matic approach in the study of nineteenth-century European nationalism, aiming to bring into focus the culturally oriented initiatives and concerns of nationalist movements. This topic has hitherto often been dealt with piece- meal (in the context of nationally framed studies) or marginally (as an adjunct to socio-politically oriented analyses). I propose a different, transnationally comparative approach from a cultural historical perspective, by briefly discussing five tenets. These are: 1. All nationalism is cultural nationalism; 2. Cultural nationalism is a topic for cultural history; 3. Cultural nationalism requires a cross-national comparative approach; 4. Nationalism begins as a ‘cultivation of culture’; 5. The ‘cultivation of culture’ can be mapped as a specific array of concerns.
