More specifically, the book identifies and analyses four distinct far-right cultural imaginaries – a ‘primordial’, a ‘nostalgic’, a ‘promethean’, and a ‘nihilist’ one – that each subtly conveys different yet linked ideas about space, time, ‘race’, gender, and heroic identity. By drawing attention to the cultural heterogeneity of the contemporary far right, \u003ci\u003eImagining Alternative Worlds \u003c\/i\u003eoffers key insights into the dreams, identities, and norms such actors hope will define our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to researchers of the far right, of literary, media and communication studies, and of social and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57395049857406,"sku":"NW9781032250618","price":36.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032250618.jpg?v=1778675354","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/imagining-alternative-worlds","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
