ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how in the digital era, there is a generation of radical right and far-right actors who produce and (re)produce (snippets of) ideas and propagate them using specific digital practices to new audiences through a network of mainstream and/or non-mainstream digital media. This new digital environment has given rise to a global new right culture. In this introduction and in this book, it is argued that we need a more fine-grained approach that allows us to understand contemporary far-right violence in relation to the theoretical renewal of La Nouvelle Droite in the 20th century and the contemporary uptake of its metapolitical battle all around the world. It shows how the rising importance of global networks, cellular systems, and global cultural and political flows, is emblematic of this latest phase of globalization and is largely undertheorized when it comes to new right activism.
