“…The uses and abuses of memory on the part of the far‐right have been increasingly explored in recent years, with studies examining, to mention just a few examples, reassessments of the colonial experience in Italy (Griffini, 2022), France (Flood, 2005; Flood & Frey, 2002) and the Netherlands (Couperus & Tortola, 2019); of fascism in Italy (Bolzonar, 2023; Broder, 2023), Germany (Vees‐Gulani, 2021; Volk, 2022), France (Golsan, 2017) and Hungary (Pető, 2022); and of communism in Germany (Richardson‐Little et al, 2022) or Poland (Koryci, 2019). Needless to say, developments in the modes and channels of political communication, above all the expansion of social media, often play a large role in reinforcing tactics of reassessment, manipulation, and weaponization of the past (Esteve‐Del‐Valle & Costa Lopez, 2023; Rensmann, 2017; Richardson‐Little et al, 2022).…”

“…Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, when governments reduced individual freedoms such as the right to free movement or assembly, far-right actors even claimed to be the principal representatives of democracy and constitutionality in Germany (Lehmann and Zehnter, 2022). To this aim, they made historical comparisons with former democratic and emancipatory movements such as the 1989 Peaceful Revolution in East Germany (Volk, 2022).…”

“…As the example of PEGIDA indicates, in the twenty-first century it is far-right actors who hark back to the hard-to-translate concept of Abendland , mainly in the context of debates on immigration and integration (Faber, 2018; Rehberg, 2018; Rucht, 2016; Weiß, 2017). The Abendland thus forms part of larger cultural and historical repertoires (Aronoff and Kubik, 2013; Swidler, 1986) that the German far right deploys in its exclusionary and populist discourse (Blokker, this issue; Göpffarth, 2021; Kaya, 2021; Volk, 2022). Mobilised by contemporary political actors who pursue current political goals, it can be conceptualised as an intangible intellectual heritage in Germany and Europe (Lowenthal, 1985; Smith, 2006; Waterton et al, 2017).…”

“…Several recent studies have dealt with the importance of cultural factors in sustaining populist and illiberal narratives, and they highlight the role of culture in grassroots mobilization (Aslanidis, 2020; Volk, 2022) or the cultural divide between traditionalist and liberal-progressive values (Bornschier, 2010; Rensmann, 2017), which sometimes mirrors the conflict of values between the conservative governments of Central-Eastern Europe and the liberal project of the European Union (Furedi, 2018; Melito, 2021). These works show how the shift toward illiberalism is often legitimized by cultural factors.…”
