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. -

Over the past 19 years, several associations have been involved in the French IM: Les Identitaires (LI) and the Bloc Identitaire (BI) have alternated as the “adult” organizations, while Les Jeunesses Identitaires (JI), Une Autre Jeunesse (UAJ), and Génération Identitaire (GI) have successively embodied its “youth” branch. Génération Identitaire (GI), founded in 2012, progressively became the figurehead of the IM before being administratively dissolved by the French government in March 2021. Since then, activists have been barred from carrying out any action in the name of Génération Identitaire. If the decision has not affected Les Identitaires or local associations (such as the Identitarian bars or cultural associations), it has thrown into jeopardy the GI brand they have successfully diffused throughout Europe. The French Identitarian movement1 claims an attachment to a certain civilizational identity linked to the European continent. In addition to structuring their movement into local chapters, each of which is responsible for the defense and promotion of local identities, the activists strive to embody this common European identity at the European level.2 They have, it seems, succeeded in doing so: since its creation, the French Identitarian movement has effectively maintained links with counterparts in Europe. -

“Fit for Consumption” – About the Social Production of the Individual
“Fit for consumption” – about the social production of the individual Henning Echberg University of Southern Denmark Published on the Internet, www.idrottsforum.org/articles/lippe/lippe080917.html (ISSN 1652–7224), 2008–09–17 Copyright © Henning Eichberg 2008.

Let us, for a moment, consider Descartes’s well-known dualism, that sees man as con- sisting of two separate substances, the body and the mind. On the whole, present-day philosophers have rejected the Cartesian thesis of a division between mind and body, but the thought substantially influenced Western philosophy and religion for two and a half centuries, and the problem – left unsolved by Descartes – of finding an empirically identifiable meeting point between the two parts of the dichotomy, known as the mind– body problem, has occupied thinkers since the mid-seventeenth century. In Cartesian dualism, the body was considered of limited value, trivial, almost illusory, whereas the mind (or soul) was highly valued, enduring and efficacious – cogito ergo sum, I think, therefore I am. At the start of the twentieth century, a new awareness of the corporeal realm developed among philosophers and other thinkers, including political philosophers, ideologists and activists. And 325 years after Descartes’s death 1650, the pendulum had swung the other way, when, in the 1970s, we experienced the emergence of institutions and com- mercial establishments exclusively devoted to the development of the physical body. -
La Nouvelle Droite, Ses Pompes Et Ses Œuvres D’Europe Action (1963) À La NRH (2002)
La Nouvelle Droite, ses pompes et ses œuvres D’Europe Action (1963) à la NRH (2002) par Geoffroy Daubuis Après avoir bénéficié d’une forte publicité dans les années 1978- 1985, la mouvance néopaïenne dite « Nouvelle Droite » peut sembler aujourd’hui passée de mode. En réalité, son influence perdure, tant dans les milieux universitaires que dans les milieux nationalistes. Depuis une dizaine d’années, c’est principalement par les publica- tions d’histoire que la Nouvelle Droite atteint le grand public. Geoffroy Daubuis présente ici un historique de cette mouvance, en trois de ses aspects : I. La revue Europe Action, qui est à l’origine de la Nouvelle Droite. II. Le GRECE, qui en est le noyau dur depuis 1968. III. La NRH (Nouvelle Revue d’Histoire) qui assure depuis 2002 une diffusion « douce » de ses idées.

The 'European New Right': Defining and Defending Europe's Heritage
The ‘European New Right’: Defining and Defending Europe’s Heritage An Interview with Alain de Benoist By Ian B. Warren In the following essay and interview, Professor Warren takes a close look at the “European New Right,” a cultural-intellectual movement that offers not only an unconventional view of the past, but a challenging perspective on the present and future. This piece admittedly represents a departure from the Journal’s usual content and tone. All the same, we hope and trust that readers will appreciate this look at an influential movement that not only revives an often neglected European intellectual-cultural tradition, but which also — as French writer Alain de Benoist explains here — seeks to chart Europe’s course into the 21st century. — The Editor (IHR) During the postwar era — approximately 1945-1990 — European intellectual life was dominated by Marxists (most of them admirers of the Soviet experiment), and by supporters of a liberal-democratic society modeled largely on the United States. Aside from important differences, each group shared common notions about the desirability and ultimate inevitability of a universal ―one world‖ democratic order, into which individual cultures and nations would eventually be absorbed. Not all European thinkers accepted this vision, though. Since the late 1960s, a relatively small but intense circle of youthful scholars, intellectuals, political theorists, activists, professors, and even a few elected parliamentarians, has been striving — quietly, but with steadily growing influence — to chart a future for Europe that rejects the universalism and egalitarianism of both the Soviet Marxist and American capitalist models. This intellectual movement is known — not entirely accurately — as the European New Right, or Nouvelle Droite. -

WP022 Alain De Benoist's Anti-Political Philosophy Beyond

Any comments should be addressed directly to the author Reference WP022 Title Alain de Benoist’s anti-political philosophy beyond Left and Right: Non-emancipatory responses to globalisation and crisis Author Raphael Schlembach Email: [email protected] 2 Raphael Schlembach (Liverpool Hope University) Alain de Benoist’s anti-political philosophy beyond Left and Right: Non-emancipatory responses to globalisation and crisis Key Words – anti-politics, economic crisis, globalisation, populism, neo-fascism Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyse and critique non-emancipatory and anti-political forms of opposition to globalisation and to the current Eurozone management of the global financial crisis. It will question, amongst other themes, critiques of globalisation that present themselves as mere critiques of capitalist excess or capital’s ‘transnational’ form. This opens up the problem of the national/global antinomy as well as of responses that contain a nationalist or traditionalist element. The paper draws primarily on a critical discussion of the work of ‘European New Right’ philosopher Alain de Benoist. In de Benoist’s writings it detects an anti-political rejection of the political divide between left and right, which aligns it with contemporary neo-fascist opposition to the Eurozone crisis. The paper will reflect upon this alignment through a discussion of Marxist critical theory, putting forward the argument that capitalist processes must be understood as non-personal domination rather than as a system of individual greed or wilful exploitation. This should also open up the possibility to re-evaluate some of the recent progressive, yet largely populist, movement mobilisations directed at the crisis. -
Origines Et Métamorphoses De La Nouvelle Droite Pierre-André Taguieff
Vingtième Siècle, revue d'histoire Origines et métamorphoses de la nouvelle droite Pierre-André Taguieff Abstract Origins and metamorphoses of the French New Right, Pierre-André Taguieff. The French New Right, which grew in the 1970s and the 1980s, seems to have become an empty shell today. But the itinerary of its best theortician, Alain de Benoist, shows that this movement was able to bring up, early and continuously, the issues of roots and identity that are haunting Europe today.
