Call for Contributions: “Lost in Their Words. Rewriting the Political Lexicon of the Far-Right”

Over the past three decades, Far-right actors have profoundly reshaped their political language turning familiar words like freedom, democracy, or solidarity into tools of redefinition and legitimation.
This collective volume explores how such shifting meanings circulate between online cultures, media ecosystems, and political arenas, gradually normalising radical narratives within mainstream discourse.

Scholars are invited to contribute chapters (4,000–5,000 words) analysing keywords or recurring concepts in Far-right discourse from the 1970s to today, combining conceptual history, discourse analysis, and cultural approaches.

🗓 Abstract deadline: 3 May 2026

International Conference: Transnational Perspectives on Europe’s Extreme Right / 21- 23 October 2025, University of Mannheim, Germany

From 21 to 23 October 2025, the University of Mannheim will host the International Conference for Early-Career Researchers: Transnational Perspectives on Europe’s Extreme Right. The event examines how far-right ideologies and networks have circulated across Europe since the 1970s, shaping politics, culture, and society beyond national borders. Highlights include a keynote by Massimiliano Livi (University of Trier) on the transformation of neo-conservative and far-right political culture, and Sofia Miola (University of Pavia) presenting her research on Adriano Romualdi’s search for a European far-right identity. The conference aims to deepen historical understanding while exploring counterstrategies to radicalization.

📅 21–23 October 2025 • 📍 University of Mannheim

Some Reflections on the Fascist legacy in Italy

Some Reflections from the Round Table at the Kick-Off Event F-Word: An anthropological exploration of fascist practices and meanings among European youth – 30 May 2024 University of Turin
Within the contemporary Italian political scene, the term “fascism” stirs a blend of historical reflection and current analysis. Its legacy, far from being a mere relic of the past, actively permeates both rhetoric and concrete political practices today. The journey from the anti-fascist resistance movement culminating in the Italian Republic to the present illustrates not merely a continuation of specific ideologies but a nuanced adaptation that reflects the dynamic nature of political beliefs and cultural identity. The persistent presence of far-right currents, evolving from historical fascism to modern iterations like the Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI), Alleanza Nazionale (AN), and ultimately Fratelli d’Italia, underlines the complexity of fully disengaging from a fascist past. This dialogue explores the validity of “fascism” as a term in contemporary discussion, the legitimate association of current political practices with historical fascism, and the most palpable manifestations of fascist legacy in today’s Italy. Here, we delve into an integrated narrative, pieced together from various perspectives throughout our conversation

Return Migration as an Interdisciplinary Research Area Using the Example of the South Tyrolean “Return Option”
Rückwanderung, auch Remigration oder Repatriierung genannt, ist immer noch ein allzu häufig vernachlässigtes Thema innerhalb der Migrationsforschung und Migrationsgeschichte. Dies gilt ebenso für jene Südtiroler MigrantInnen, die im Zuge der als „Option” bekannt gewordenen „freiwilligen“ Ausbürgerung ihre Heimat verließen.
