O knihe

'In the growing literature on the far right and the environment, too few works centre the visual politics that are so integral to extremist appeals. Forchtner and his collaborators work to address this lacuna. Novel in its focus, global in its scope and rigorous in its analysis, Visualising far-right environments makes a necessary and compelling contribution to our understanding of the far right today.'
>'A welcome, timely and original contribution. This set of diverse global case studies richly analyses the evergreen appeal of environmental and ecological claims - and their visual representations - to burgeoning far-right movements around the world. An essential read.'
>From smiling faces in the nation's scenic landscape to the ridiculing of environmental activists and beyond, images play a crucial role in the far right's politics of nature. This book examines representations of natural environments and environmentalism by the far right around the world, scrutinising its implications for humans and nature.

Visualising far-right environments approaches the visual as a key means of (re)producing identities and 'doing politics'. Images are not simply pervasive in our increasingly visual culture, but particularly persuasive in proposing worlds to viewers. In response, this book makes a first, concerted effort to put visuality centre-stage in the analysis of environmental communication by the far right.

From the countryside to climate change, covering political parties and non-party actors from around the world, the volume demonstrates various ways in which the far right articulates natural environments and the rampant environmental crises of the twenty-first century. It provides a crucial insight into the multifaceted politics of nature.
