Re-anchoring the far right: Power, distance, and the limits of knowing
This article theorises epistemic asymmetry as a structural condition shaping contemporary research on the far right. While scholars benefit from unprecedented access to public discourse, digital traces, and electoral data, internal deliberative processes, organisational dynamics, and relational infrastructures remain partially opaque. The resulting imbalance risks conflating performative representation with ideological formation and strategic coo…
Personalising feminism: Gender, myth, and the making of alternative femininities in the Italian far right
This article examines the activism of far-right women who, beginning in the late 1970s, produced the magazine Eowyn . It reconstructs the foundational principles of far-right feminist thought in Italy, which these women self-identified as personalising feminism, situating this framework within the broader currents of contemporary feminist discourse and its cultural referents. The essay further explores the reception of Eowyn by Marxist feminists …
From the Sword of Islam to the Shield of the West: The Italian Far Right’s Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Reorientation
This article traces the ideological and geopolitical reorientation of the Italian far right—from the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini to its postwar successors—through the intertwined politics of the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It argues that the shift from Fascism’s pro-Islamic Mediterranean project, directed primarily against British and French dominance in the region, to the Cold War’s pro-Israeli and Atlanticist realignment represent…
Dystopia as ideological technology: Far-right readings of The Turner Diaries and Le Camp des Saints
This article examines the engagement of far-right militants with dystopian literature, focusing on Jean Raspail’s Le Camp des Saints and William Luther Pierce’s The Turner Diaries in the Italian context. Based on qualitative correspondence with 16 militants, it analyses how these texts are interpreted, valorised and deployed as instruments of ideological formation, political imagination and affective investment. Findings reveal a marked ideologic…
Aginter Press: A transnational hub for far-right militancy and western intelligence
This study explores the interconnections between the European far right, Aginter Press, and American intelligence during the Cold War (1960–1975), with a specific focus on their involvement in anti-communist covert operations. It examines how far-right factions aligned ideologically with Western interests and were actively integrated into clandestine initiatives, including Operation CHAOS and various counterinsurgency efforts across Europe, Afric…
From neo-Eurasianism to Trumpism: Aleksandr Dugin and the making of conservative internationalism
When the far right meets Zionism: Italy’s post-fascist journey to modern politics
This article interrogates the long-standing yet underexplored alignment between the Italian far right and the State of Israel from the post-war era to the present. Drawing on declassified intelligence files, judicial records, oral testimonies, and discourse analysis, it demonstrates that Italian far-right formations–ranging from the Movimento Sociale Italiano (MSI) to Ordine Nuovo (ON) and the Nuclei Armati Rivoluzionari (NAR)–cultivated ideologi…

The analysis identifies the core elements of the party’s agenda and assesses their potential alignment with the red-brownist movement, often linked to the pro-Russian far right. The research investigates the historical and politic…

This study analyzes the phenomenon of Italian foreign fighters of different ideological backgrounds on the Ukrainian front. Right-wing extremists on opposite sides of the front and right-wing extremists fighting alongside left-wing extremists. An ideologically intricate situation that needs to be understood in the light of the political and geopolitical dynamics of the present but also of the history of right-wing movements since the Second World…
Far-right European foreign fighters in the Yugoslav and Ukraine wars. Ideological and geopolitical implications between Westernist and Eurasianist radicalisms
This study analyzes the positions taken by the European extreme right, in the French and Italian cases, with respect to the Yugoslav wars both in the political dimension and in that of foreign fighting. A clear rift between pro-Croatian and pro-Serbian right-wing extremists is emerging, anticipating the one that occurred recently after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The study reconstructs the ideological and geopolitical motivations of both pro…
The radical Westernization of the European far right and the role of the Organisation Armée Secrète during the Algerian War
Ideologies and narratives of Italian foreign fighters in the Russian-Ukrainian war
The phenomenon of Italian foreign fighters who currently fight in the Russia-Ukraine conflict presents elements of high ideological complexity. The presence of different groups of highly ideologized far-right fighters fighting on opposite sides of the front emerges. Foreign fighters of the extreme right shoot each other at the front and some of them have as comrades foreign fighters of the extreme left. The main sources of this research are texts…
The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
The Italian Far Right from 1945 to the Russia–Ukraine Conflict provides a comprehensive account of the postwar parliamentary and extra parliamentary far right in Italy. This book explores the ideology, movements and activism of the extreme right and neo- fascists. The recent victory in the Italian parliamentary elections of the ‘post-fascist’ party Fratelli d’Italia and its leader Giorgia Meloni highlights the importance of such research. The boo…
The Russian-Ukrainian war has shattered the European far right. The opposing influences of Steve Bannon and Aleksandr Dugin
This study analyses the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the European far right by examining the German Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party and the Swedish Sverigedemokraterna (SD). The political and geopolitical choices of the AfD and SD are contextualized in the political history of the two parties, in the influences that thinkers such as Steve Bannon and Aleksandr Dugin have on the European right, and in the context of geo…
The Russia-Ukraine war has shattered the Italian far right
The contemporary political landscape of the Italian extreme right is characterized by the presence of two main movements: CasaPound Italia (CPI) and Forza Nuova (FN). These two movements are often referred to alternately and synonymously as extreme right or neofascism. The Russia-Ukraine war shattered this area of political radicalism and brought out the relevance of cultural and political circles such as National Bolshevism and Eurasianism. Adop…
Ludwig: A revolt against the modern world. The language and ideology of an Italian Neo-Nazi group in the Years of Lead
The Ludwig group is usually described by the media as a group of serial killers operating in Italy during the so-called Years of Lead. The present article examines the structure and the nature of the group’s language through a multidimensional approach to rediscuss its current classification and description. The source material of the analysis is represented by the handwritten leaflets released by the group to claim its actions. The collected mat…

Italian Studies and Graffiti, A Complex Relationship
Despite its massive presence in our cities, the accusations of vandalism have caused scholars of Italian language and culture to shy away from the analysis of graffiti. Another factor might also have been a certain traditional elite perspective, to the detriment of ordinariness and of the everyday. In today’s society of widespread control of both physical and virtual spaces through capillary video surveillance and online monitoring which sees the…
