Since the early 2000s the normalisation and mainstreaming of far-right politics has become one of the main strands of research in political science, media and communications studies and critical discourse analysis. In slightly different ways scholars using and developing these concepts try to address “the huge complexity of the historical and contemporary global/regional/local conditioning of the far right’s growing acceptance in European and global societies and political spheres of the early 21st century” (Krzyzanowski and Ekstrom 2022, 720). In this lecture, Samuel Bennett tentatively reassess and problematises this reading of the current state of affairs.
