With Emre Arslan, David Begrich, Mareike Gronich, Jeannie Moser, Mirko Niehoff, Jens Ostwaldt, Laura Rogalski and Hans-Joachim Schott
The New Right, which began to form in the 1970s, is not only based on the model of the "Conservative Revolution", but also adapts elements from Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, in particular his reflections on the significance of culture in the struggle for political supremacy in civil society contexts. The New Right attempts to shift the coordinates of public debates (the "limits of what can be said") in order to normalize its ethnic and racist positions. This hegemony strategy is reflected in various forms of practice: the establishment of reading circles, publishing houses and media, think tanks or channels on social media platforms, but also participation in cultural institutions, associations or child and youth work institutions, for example, serve to spread New Right ideology. This cultural hegemony strategy will be analyzed from the perspective of literary and cultural studies as well as practical science in order to develop proposals for viable intervention approaches against right-wing extremism.
