Emotionalised Mobilisation: Strategic Use of Emotional Narratives by the Radical Right

Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talk

Description

In different national contexts, the radical right is adopting emotional
narratives in order to enhance mobilisation and bolster support, especially online. Emotions - such as fear, anger and resentment but also shame and pride - have a powerful mobilising potential. This presentation will explore how the radical right
strategically constructs and exploits these emotions and also how they play a role in creating affective solidarity within online communities.
