  • 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

Contact: [email protected] 09_120_Ch09.qxd 4/21/09 5:31 AM Page 159 CHAPTER NINE Combating Global White Supremacy in the Digital Era In cyberspace the First Amendment is a local ordinance. —John Perry Barlow In 2002 Tore W. Tvedt, founder of the hate group Vigrid and a Norwegian cit- izen, was sentenced to time in prison for posting racist and anti-Semitic propa- ganda on a website. The Anti-Racism Center in Oslo filed a police complaint against Tvedt. On Vigrid’s website, Tvedt puts forward an ideology that mixes neo-Nazism, racism, and religion. Tvedt was tried and convicted in the Asker and Baerum District Court on the outskirts of Oslo. The charges were six counts of violating Norway’s antiracism law and one count each of a weapons violation and interfering with police. He was sentenced to seventy-five days in prison, with forty-five days suspended, and two years’ probation. Activists welcomed this as the first conviction for racism on the Internet in Norway. Following Tvedt’s release from prison, his Vigrid website is once again online.1 In contrast to the Norwegian response, many Americans seem to view white supremacy online as speech obviously protected under the First Amendment.

This country report is one of such outputs. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Mette Wiggen is a lecturer in the School of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the University of Leeds.

Even some of those with very extreme views have some limits to the kinds of violent acts they would actually commit. What restrains most of these activists from engaging in actual violence? Whereas most research on radicalisation processes focus on those few who actually engage in terrorist violence, the large majority of people who radicalize into accepting violence as a legitimate option but for various reasons never make use of violence.

  • Vi Er Her for Å Bevare Vårt Folk, Vår Kultur Og Vår Særegenhet
    Vi er her for å bevare vårt folk, vår kultur og vår særegenhet Et sosiologisk studie av identitære ideer Karete Kuraas Lindalen Masteroppgave i sosiologi Institutt for sosiologi og samfunnsgeografi UNIVERSITETET I OSLO 30 Juni 2017 I II Vi er her for å bevare vårt folk, vår kultur og vår særegenhet Et sosiologisk studie av identitære ideer III © Karete Kuraas Lindalen 2017 "Vi er her for å bevare vårt folk, vår kultur og vår særegenhet" Et sosiologisk studie av identitære ideer Karete K. Lindalen http://www.duo.uio.no Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV V VI Sammendrag I flere europeiske land har grupper samlet seg rundt identitære ideer. De kaller seg for ”identitære” og de er opptatt av å fremme etnisk og kulturell identitet. Identitære ideer handler i grove trekk om forsvar av det såkalte ”ordinære folket” mot globalisering og liberalisme. Med utgangspunkt i Frankrike og ”det nye høyre” har identitære ideer spredt seg utover Europa og Nord-Amerika og påvirket ulike politiske grupper og organisasjoner på ytre høyresiden. I denne masteroppgaven undersøker jeg hvordan identitære ideer kommer til utrykk i dag. Mine forskningsspørsmål har vært orientert mot hvilke kjernesaker som er mest fremtredende. Ved å se på kjernesakene for identitære ideer vil jeg undersøke hvordan informantene trekker symbolske grenser mot liberale ideer. Jeg ønsket også å finne ut hvordan det oppleves å være ”identitær”. I den sammenheng vil jeg undersøke hvordan informantene trekker symbolske grenser mot høyreekstremisme. For å besvare disse spørsmålene har jeg gjennomført deltakende observasjon og intervjuer med tilhengere av identitære ideer. Jeg bruker Michèle Lamont sin teori om symbolske grenser og Fredrik Barth sitt bidrag om etniske grenser for å vise til hvordan grensene for identitetsfelleskap er flytende.

  • Símbolos Motivo De Sanción
    Como preámbulo a este Manual sobre Simbología en el Deporte, es necesario mencionar que la Ley 19/2007, de 11 de Julio, contra la violencia, el racismo, la xenofobia y la intolerancia en el deporte, en diferentes artículos define tanto las conductas como los actos que incitan a la violencia, las medidas para evitarlos por parte de los organizadores, así como las obligaciones de las personas espectadoras o asistentes a los espectáculos públicos. El fenómeno de la violencia en el deporte en nuestra sociedad es complejo y supera el ámbito propiamente deportivo, obligando a las instituciones públicas a adoptar medidas que fomenten la prevención. Es ampliamente conocida la vinculación de muchos grupos de aficionados que asisten a los partidos de fútbol, con ideologías tanto de extrema derecha como de extrema izquierda, y como estos grupos aprovechan la publicidad y difusión que otorgan las gradas de un recinto deportivo para hacer apología de sus ideales. Asimismo, el gran número de partidos de índole internacional que tienen lugar cada año, hace que se desplacen hasta nuestro país numerosos aficionados extranjeros, algunos de los cuales portan sus banderas y señas de identidad, las cuales en algunas ocasiones, esconden mensajes de índole intolerante o racista que no son conocidos ni por los responsables policiales, ni por el personal de seguridad privada de los Clubes. Por ello, se ha elaborado el presente Manual, que recoge un amplio elenco de símbolos, emblemas y banderas, utilizados por distintos grupos, tanto de España como de otros países europeos, y cuya exhibición puede incitar a la violencia, el racismo, la xenofobia o la intolerancia.
