In her talk, Agnieszka Pasieka aims to reflect on the multiple publics of anthropological scholarship, and more specifically: on the (potential) impact of the anthropology of the far right on various scholarly and non-scholarly audiences. In so doing, her talk engages with some key concepts – such as “culture,” “diversity,” and “identity” – that are central to anthropological scholarship, but which in recent decades have moved beyond the realm of academic debates to mark the terrain of political battles. In engaging with these categories, she sketches the moral-political imaginary of contemporary far-right activists and highlights a troublesome relationship between far-right views and scholarly knowledge.
