Tracing how the Great Replacement narrative has shaped far-right extremism and propelled its dangerous political projects and acts of violence The Great Replacement narrative, which imagines that historic white majorities are being intentionally replaced through immigration policies crafted by global elites, has effectively mobilized racist, nationalist, and nativist movements in the United States and Europe. The Rage of Replacement tracks how this narrative has shaped the politics and worldview of the far right, binding its various camps into a community of rage obsessed with nostalgia for a white-supremacist past. Showing how the replacement narrative has found significant purchase in recent mainstream discourse through the rise of Trumpism, right-wing media figures like Tucker Carlson, and events such as 2017s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Michael Feola diagnoses the dangers this racist theory poses as it shapes the far-right imagination, expands through civil society, and deforms political culture. In particular, he tracks how the replacement narrative has given rise to malignant political strategies designed to take back the nation from its perceived enemies-by force if deemed necessary. Identifying the Great Replacement narrative as a central force behind the rise and expansion of far-right extremism, Feola shows how it has motivated a variety of dangerous political projects in pursuit of illiberal, antidemocratic futures. From calls for the creation of segregated white ethnostates to extremist violence such as the mass shootings in Christchurch, El Paso, and Buffalo, The Rage of Replacement makes clear that replacement theory poses a dire threat to democracy and safety

La Economía Circular, tal y como se recoge con mayor frecuencia en las políticas urbanas, gubernamentales y en el debate científico, suele presentarse como transformadora, pero es reformista en el mejor de los casos. En realidad, la Economía Circular es tan seductora exactamente porque promete la reducción del impacto ambiental sin cuestionar los fundamentos culturales e institucionales de la economía tal y como las conocemos. En este breve artículo, desvelo las trampas medioambientales, socioeconómicas y de gestión de la Economía Circular, y concluyo sugiriendo tres áreas de intervención para abordarlas: combatir seriamente la actividad ilícita e ilegal en sectores clave y en lo que respecta a la mano de obra, dar más importancia a los principios de retención de valor de rechazar, reducir y reutilizar, y entablar un debate político serio y democrático sobre el camino hacia el que debe encaminarse una Economía Circular.

The recent politics of demographic anxiety has been shaped by an influential New Right argument: a) that Western nations are experiencing an immigration crisis that threatens their cultural integrity (i.e., a "Great Replacement"), and b) that this crisis is fueled by the egalitarian commitments of liberalism. Accordingly, in this essay I engage core figures of the New Right to pursue two lines of analysis. At one level, I interrogate the asserted connection between egalitarian ideals and the demographic shifts associated with globalization. In doing so, I take on the "metapolitics" of the New Right. This "metapolitical" project does not simply diagnose the roots of population change; instead, it transforms shared normative languages in order to pursue ethnonationalist and ethnopopulist aims. My overriding argument is that this "Gramscianism of the Right" (whether pursued by the New Right or its identitarian allies across Europe and North America) does not simply turn liberal normative vocabularies toward antiliberal objectives. Rather, this metapolitical strategy ultimately hollows out the normative substance of the terms it takes over, with deleterious consequences for a democratic public.

This article addresses recent strains of white nationalism rooted within anxieties over demographic replacement (e.g., "the Great Replacement"). More broadly, the article argues that the contemporary politics of white grievance cannot be reduced to an ahistorical desire for racial supremacy. Rather, these anxieties represent the political reflex to perceptions of loss on the part of historical white majorities—a loss that takes a distinctly melancholic form in both discourse and practice. To understand white nationalism as a melancholic politics is to recognize the pathologies that stem from its underlying psychodynamics. At the affectual level, for instance, the subject of white grievance is constituted as the subject of politicized rage through its organizing narratives. And ultimately, the politics of melancholic whiteness raises significant challenges for a democratic polity. Most fundamentally, the melancholic fixation upon loss forecloses the futurity required by a democratic politics. Upon diagnosing these destructive pathologies, the article goes on to propose alternatives to approach civic change in less destructive, more democratically generative fashion.
