SUMMARY:Virtual Exhibition Talk: Between fanaticism and mediocrity: Swedish and Dutch fascism\, 1923-1940
DESCRIPTION:NSB leader Anton Mussert together with party members at an annual congress in The Hague\, 1935. The image is out of copyright\, originally produced by the NSB Photo Service\, which was criminalised and dissolved in 1945. \nPart of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s This Fascist Life exhibition series. \nThe Netherlands and Sweden were better known in the interwar period for the stability of their democracies and their relative liberalism than fascism. Yet there too fascist parties emerged: tens of thousands of people joined the Dutch National Socialist Movement and the Swedish National Socialist Workers Party among many others and fought for a new fascist state. They did so fortunately without ultimate success – marginalised into oblivion\, these groups can appear as only mediocre imitations of more successful models. This begs the question of why so many thousands of people not only joined\, but persisted in a fanatical devotion to their cause\, sometimes for decades far beyond any hope for victory. This lecture will explore the rise and decline of fascism in Sweden and the Netherlands\, explain their appeal to ordinary fascists in spite of unfavourable conditions and the mediocrity of the objects of their devotion. \nDr Nathaniël Kunkeler is a historian of fascism and the far-right in interwar Europe\, and a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Research on Right-Wing Extremism (C-REX) at the University of Oslo. They did their PhD at Cambridge University on the subject of Swedish and Dutch fascism\, which has now been published as a monograph with Bloomsbury Academic: Making Fascism in Sweden and the Netherlands: Myth-Creation and Respectability\, 1931-40. They are currently working on a research project about military volunteers and the transnational counter-revolutionary Right in north-western Europe 1917-40. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Virtual Conference: Echoes of Fascism: The Radical Right in the Twenty-First Century
DESCRIPTION:Students at the University of Vienna saluting in a torchlight parade together with the Rector\, Hans Übersberger\, in 1931. ÖNB Bildarchiv. H 780 B \nA one-day conference organised by The Wiener Holocaust Library\, The European Fascist Movements 1918-1941 project\, the Centre for the Analysis of the Radical Right and HOPE not hate. \nThis academic conference is part of the Library’s This Fascist Life: Radical Movements in Interwar Europe exhibition and will explore the Radical Right in the twenty-first century. View the full conference schedule here. \nAlthough fascism was defeated militarily at the end of the Second World War\, neo-fascist and radical right movements have continued to spread racial hatred and to challenge liberal democracies ever since. The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have seen right-wing political parties\, white supremacist scenes\, extremist organisations\, and governments promoting ultranationalist chauvinism in various forms. By interrogating the frames\, repertoires\, mobilisation strategies\, and activities of the radical right\, this conference seeks to understand how the radical right functions in today’s world so that we might be better equipped to combat it in the future. \nVirtual Conference Schedule: \nPlease note that this programme does not include all aspects of the conference. Some elements involve conference participants only and will not be live-streamed. \nYou will receive individual zoom links to join the conference on Tuesday 18 November via email\, please check junk folders. \n11.30am: Panel discussion: Fighting Fascism Today  \nChair: Matthew Feldman (Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right) \nSpeakers: Joe Mulhall (HOPE not hate); Dave Rich (Community Security Trust); Bethan Johnson (Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right) \n1.30-2.45pm: Keynote lecture (online): Ruth Wodak\, Lancaster University/ the University of Vienna\, Collective amnesia: Normalizing a rhetoric of exclusion \nChair: Barbara Warnock\, The Wiener Holocaust Library \n5.30-7pm: Keynote public lecture: Julie Gottlieb\, University of Sheffield\, Memory Boom and Bust: Radical Right Women and the Politics of Nostalgia in Contemporary Britain  \nChair: Roland Clark\, University of Liverpool
