Abstract

ABSTRACT The alt-right, the different chapters of the pan-European movement Generation Identity and the rise of the so-called radical right populist parties in the West have been responsible for the renewed interest in the metapolitical project of La Nouvelle Droite. In this attention, we see a strong focus on the ideological impact of this school of thought and on Alain de Benoist in particular. This article adds new insights into the 21st century legacy of La Nouvelle Droite by focusing on the uptake and reproduction of the work of GRECE’s so-called number two Guillaume Faye. Whereas Alain de Benoist is usually seen as the transnational messenger of La Nouvelle Droite, Guillaume Faye has gained far less attention. The article presents a digital ethnographic discourse analysis of Faye’s work and his uptake by new right and identitarian activists around the world. It makes two arguments. The first one is empirical, namely that Faye’s legacy should be assessed in the context of the contemporary rise of new right activism and identitarianism in particular. The second argument is theoretical and stresses the importance of analysing the role of (digital) media in the distribution of ideas and ideologies.

纪尧姆·费伊的遗产:另类右翼和世代认同

另类右翼、泛欧洲运动的不同章节——“一代认同”(Generation Identity)以及西方所谓激进右翼民粹主义政党的崛起，是人们对“新权利”(La Nouvelle Droite)的元政治项目重新产生兴趣的原因。在这种关注中，我们看到了对这一思想流派的意识形态影响的强烈关注，特别是对阿兰·德·贝诺斯特的关注。本文通过关注希腊所谓的“二号人物”纪尧姆·费耶(Guillaume Faye)的作品的吸收和复制，为21世纪的“新诗人”遗产增添了新的见解。阿兰·德·贝诺伊斯特通常被视为“新贵族”的跨国传令者，而纪尧姆·费伊获得的关注要少得多。本文对Faye的作品进行了数字民族志话语分析，并分析了他在世界各地的新右翼和认同主义活动家中的应用。它有两个论点。第一个是经验性的，也就是说，应该在当代新右翼激进主义和身份主义兴起的背景下评估费伊的遗产。第二个论点是理论性的，强调分析(数字)媒体在思想和意识形态传播中的作用的重要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
