Since the millennium, on both sides of the Atlantic, an international far right has appropriated the \u201clanguage of fashion\u201d (Barthes) for its strategic purposes. In the course of this, according to our diagnosis of the times, fashion has been weaponized. Fashion plays an essential role in forming and expanding national, transnational, and transatlantic networks of the far right. Contemporary far-right fashion aesthetics are characterized by polysemy and opaqueness, termed here, a \u201cnew complexity in style\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.773), 1.3rem);text-transform:none\">Starting from case studies on far-right German\/Austrian fashion brands and U.S. Labels, the researchers aim to identify this \u201cnew complexity in style\u201d and the role fashion plays in the transnational increase of far-right ideologies, violence, and affects. How are power, cultural violence, aggression, and hate created through far-right fashion? What role do categories of gender, sex, race, body, ability, and class play in this process? Which political and economic networks can be identified through far-right fashion? Which signs and symbols can be discovered?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.773), 1.3rem);text-transform:none\">To examine these questions the research team collects data through local and online fieldwork as well as archival research in Germany, the us, and throughout Europe. The scholars advance purely analytical research through knowledge and practices of democratic (counter)action, as anti-hatejacking or fashion hacking in order to reduce racism, hate and rising polarization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project \u201cNeoFashFarRight\u201d is an in-depth fashion studies research investigating the current role of fashion for the far right in Europe and the US.
