A Hero’s Journey? Ideological Entrepreneurs and Reactionary Digital Politics – Lecture by Alan Finlayson
On Monday June 24, 2024 8pm, Spui25 (Amsterdam) there will be a lecture by Alan Finlayson (University of East Anglia, UK), moderated by Marc Tuters (Mediastudies, UvA).
The lecture will look at how the disruptive affordances and practices of global digital culture relate to political reconfigurations symptomatic of a broader crisis of liberalism. Alan Finlayson will explain what “reactionary digital politics” is, how it is shaped by “ideological entrepreneurs,” and how this is reconfiguring our understanding of what it is to be political.
