"The Dynamics of Right-Wing Extremism within German Society explores the prevalence of right-wing extremist attitudes in Germany. The book provides a thorough psychosocial and sociological theory of general authoritarian dynamics to explain broader societal attitudes, particularly focusing on right-wing extremists. It provides a uniquely long-term perspective on the different dimensions of right-wing extremism-the affinity for dictatorial forms of government, chauvinist attitudes, the trivialisation or justification of National Socialism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and social Darwinism. The first chapter delineates the theoretical framework of authoritarian dynamics, while subsequent chapters provide an in-depth analysis of empirical findings and distinguish authoritarian and democratic typologies. The authors focus on recognition of authoritarian statehood and anti-Semitism; the relationship between religion and right-wing extremism; and support for the radical-right populist party, Alternative für Deutschland (AFD). The innovative theoretical approach of this book scrutinises the theory of authoritarianism in the contemporary world. This book provides unique empirical data and will be of interest to scholars of German politics, anti-democratic attitudes and prejudices, sociology, political science, and social psychology"--

How play and gaming culture have mainstreamed far right ideology through social media platforms. From #Gamergate to the ongoing Big Lie, the far right has gone mainstream. In "Gaming Democracy," Adrienne Massanari tracks the flames of toxicity found in the far right and "alt right" movements as they increasingly take up oxygen in American and global society. In this pathbreaking contribution to the fields of internet studies, game studies, and gender studies, Massanari argues that Silicon Valley's emphasis on meritocracy and free speech absolutism have driven this right-ward slide. These ideologies have been coded into social media spaces that implicitly silence marginalized communities and subject them to rampant abuse by groups that have learned to "game" the ecology of platforms, algorithms, and attention economies. While populist movements are not new, phenomena such as QAnon, parental rights activism, and COVID denialism are uniquely "of the internet" with supporters demonstrating both technical acumen and an ability to use memes and play as a way of both building community and fomenting dissent. Massanari explores the ways that the far right uses memetic humor and geek masculinity as a tool to create both a sense of community within these leaderless groups and to obfuscate their intentions. Using the lens of play and game studies as well as the concept of "metagaming," Gaming Democracy is a novel contribution to our understanding of online platforms and far right political activism

"The book tracks and explains the success of extreme right parties in Scandinavia, and argues that the key explanatory factors can be found in the parties themselves"--

​Geschichtspolitik und geschichtspolitische Debatten sind für die extreme Rechte zentraler Bestandteil ihrer Politik. Zahllos sind die Veröffentlichungen zu historischen Themenstellungen. Zentral sind oft spezifische Orte, die im Sinne Pierre Noras als Erinnerungsorte (lieu de mémoire) bezeichnet werden können. Sie werden von Seiten der extremen Rechten nicht nur politisch-inhaltlich mit Bedeutung aufgeladen, sondern erfüllen zudem eine symbolische Funktion und wirken gemeinschaftsstiftend. Der Band stellt quellennah ausgewählter Beispiele zentraler Erinnerungsorte der extremen Rechten vor, analysiert deren symbolischen Gehalt und dekonstruiert die damit verbundenen Deutungsmuster.
