Starting point of this paper is a reconstruction of the key argumentation patterns the extreme right in the German-speaking countries use for supporting their reproduction and population policies. It will then continue with an analysis of relevant narratives, taking the far-right group of ‘Identitarians’ as an example, in particular their campagin Stoppt den Großen Austausch (‘Stop the Great Replacement’), which was initiated in 2014 by their Austrian chapter (IBÖ). Within the framework of a critical discourse analysis, I will investigate how the Identitarians have updated the key argumentation patterns of far-right reproduction and population policies, although basically they only modernized the language of decades-old ideas, and which role gender-specific aspects have played in this context.

In this paper, I attempt to present an example of following Hallidays grammatical system in analysing a text that can bear racial references. Doing so, the text analysis can be viewed from a critical discourse analysis perspective. The text chosen, titled Europe Must Close Its Borders or be Swamped by Third World, published in 2009, exhibits a typical example of the political rhetoric used by far-right political parties represented by one of its leaders in Britain, Nick Griffin. My assumption is that every word, every verb, and every phrase used is carefully chosen to convey the intended agendas of the party to its prospect voters in a clever way, which achieves its maximum effect with little or no apparent violation to the press guidelines. I also believe that such a stirring text, as far as the paper is concerned, would benefit from the use of various types of verbs and phrases that should suffice the requirement of the analysis. The paper may be of good use to students interested in studying this system of analysis as it deeply goes into the details of the used text.

The de-construction of credibility in online-debatesSharing the notion of credibility as a dynamic construct within interaction, the paper traces the argumentative manoeuvers by which left- and right-wing users try to de-construct credibility within online-debates. Based on the concept of “Community of Practice”, the qualitative analysis combines cognitive as well as conversation analytic approaches to identity construction with typical far and extreme right argumentation schemes specified by critical discourse analysis.

AbstractThis study explores how an extreme far-right alternative media site uses content from professional media to convey uncivil news with an antisemitic message. Analytically, it rests on a critical discourse analysis of 231 news items, originating from established national and international news sources, published on Frihetskamp from 2011–2018. In the study, we explore how news items are recontextualised to portray both overt and covert antisemitic discourses, and we identify four antisemitic representations that are reinforced through the selection and adjustment of news: Jews as powerful, as intolerant and anti-liberal, as exploiters of victimhood, and as inferior. These conspiratorial and exclusionary ideas, also known from historical Nazi propaganda, are thus reproduced by linking them to contemporary societal and political contexts and the current news agenda. We argue that this kind of recontextualised, uncivil news can be difficult to detect in a digital public sphere.

Geographers have traditionally discussed adolescence as an experience of turmoil and anxiety, which is often class and gender-specific. Almost invariably, that analysis has focused on the manifestations and interactions of rebellion, violent conflict, and social disadvantage. In this paper, however, elements of stability and less dramatic activity, as well as themes of change and anxiety within adolescence, are emphasised. The experience of dilemma within adolescence is shown to accommodate a plurality of influences and expressions beyond the relatively narrow experiences of violence and aggression. In order to examine these nuances of adolescent dilemmas, I will pursue a critical discourse analysis of data drawn from an extended programme of indigenous ethnography. The central theme of this analysis will consider the ways in which dilemmas within individual religious experience can inform, and remain informed by, the landscape and place interpretations of ten adolescents living in a Suffolk Parish. These interpretations include references to Christian ecumenical festivals. Consequently, this paper may be of interest to social and cultural geographers, particularly those interested in religio-geographical problems, as well as religious leaders and their lay assistants who arc involved in the instigation and organisation of festivals and similar religious events attended by adolescent people.

Abstract The final years of the 2010s marked an upturn in coverage on climate change. In Sweden, legacy media wrote more on the issue than ever before, especially in connection to the drought and wildfires in the summer of 2018 and the Fridays for Future movement started by Greta Thunberg. Reporting on climate change also reached unprecedented levels in the growingly influential far-right media ecosystem; from being a topic discussed hardly at all, it became a prominent issue. In this study, we use a toolkit from critical discourse analysis (CDA) to research how three Swedish far-right digital media sites reported on climate during the years 2018–2019. We show how the use of conspiracy theories, anti-establishment rhetoric, and nationalistic arguments created an antagonistic reaction to increased demands for action on climate change. By putting climate in ironic quotation marks, a discourse was created where it was taken for granted that climate change was a hoax.

Abstract A speech given by the skinhead Combo in the film This is England (2006) provides the ground for an analysis of far-right nationalism. This article uses Critical Discourse Analysis and the idea of the nation as a discursive construct to explain Combo’s strategies to gain dominance over his gang by means of rhetoric, body language, building up an ethos based on Christian and epic mythologies with ethnic connotations, drawing boundaries, and discrediting and excluding his opponents. These strategies are then compared to those of the UKIP leader Nigel Farage in his “Brexit victory” speech delivered in June 2016, which was based on a mystification of territorial boundaries, symbolic allusions to a defensive war, and a verbal construction of an ideally independent nation and a promising future. Thus, the article argues that analysis of a scene from the film set in the Thatcherite Britain of 1983 can still illuminate the articulation of later nationalist discourses.

El objetivo del artículo es constatar y describir las ideas olímpicas contenidas en la revista Citius, Altius, Fortius y esclarecer el grado de adscripción y/o crítica de la línea editorial de la publicación respecto de los modelos deportivos imperantes y las corrientes olímpicas oficiales de la época; asimismo, analizar la relevancia de dichas concepciones en el momento y su proyección con respecto del estado actual de la cuestión. Se ha empleado una metodología fundamentalmente cualitativa, descriptiva y comparativa. Se ha utilizado el análisis crítico del discurso para inferir la ideología subyacente e interpretar el contenido. Se tomó como base un trabajo previo de indización documental y clasificación temática de la revista, revisado y adaptado al presente objeto de estudio. Se observa en Citius, Altius Fortius una preocupación por la situación del olimpismo y por el análisis de sus problemáticas emergentes. En líneas generales predomina una marcada concepción idealista del Movimiento Olímpico, de sus principios y posibilidades socioeducativas. Algunos autores se ocupan de definir y reclamar la idea olímpica primigenia, mientras que otros centran su atención en la situación de crisis que está viviendo en relación con el olimpismo, y su supervivencia futura. Esta visión reflexiva, e incluso crítica, coincide con algunas –escasas– aportaciones actuales que tratan de los peligros en que han incurrido el deporte y el olimpismo modernos, de la transformación de valores y de la desmitificación de la idea olímpica (pos-olimpismo). Abstract. The aim of this study is to describe and confirm the Olympic ideas included in the Citius, Altius, Fortius review, and to clarify the degree of ascription and/or criticism of this publishing, in comparison with the prevailing sports models and Olympic tendencies of the time. Also, to analyze the relevance of these conceptions and their projection regarding the current state of this matter. The methodology is mainly qualitative, descriptive, and comparative. We used the critical discourse analysis in order to deduce the underlying ideology and to interpret the content. As a starting point, we have reviewed and adapted a previous paper of document indexing and classification of the journal thematic. In Citius, Altius, Fortius we observe a concern about the Olympics situation, and about its emerging issues. In general, a marked idealist conception of Olympic Movement is predominant, as well as its principles and educational possibilities. Some of the authors deal with defining and claiming the Olympics primal idea, while others are concerned about the crisis lived in relation with the Olympics and its future survival. This reflexive and even critic view agrees with some ‒few‒ current contributions that deal with the threats of modern sport and Olympism, the transformation of values and the demystification of the Olympic idea (pos-Olympism).
