The inverted postnational constellation: Identitarian populism in context

As exemplified by the pan‐European ‘Identitarian movement’ (IM), contemporary far‐right populism defies the habitual matrix within which right‐wing radicalism has been criticised as a negation of liberal cosmopolitanism. The IM's political stance amalgamates features of cultural liberalism and racialist xenophobia into a defence of ‘European way of life.’ We offer an alternative decoding of the phenomenon by drawing on Jurgen Habermas's ‘postnational constellation.’ It casts the IM's protectionist qua chauvinistic populism as ‘inverted’ postnationalism, engendered through territorial and ethnic appropriation of universal political values. As such, inclusionary ideals of cosmopolitan liberalism and democracy purporting humanistic postnationalism have been transformed by Identitarians into elements of a privileged civilisational life‐style to be protected from ‘intruders.’ Remaining within the remit of the grammar of the postnational constellation, trans‐European chauvinism, we contend, is susceptible to inclusive articulation. Foregrounding radical emancipatory social transformation would however require not more democracy, but a principled critique of capitalism

倒置的后民族星座:背景下的同一性民粹主义

正如泛欧“同一性运动”(IM)所证明的那样,当代极右翼民粹主义违背了右翼激进主义被批评为对自由世界主义的否定的习惯性矩阵。IM 的政治立场将文化自由主义和种族主义仇外心理的特征融合为对“欧洲生活方式”的辩护。我们利用 Jurgen Habermas 的“后国家星座”对这一现象提供了另一种解读。它将 IM 的保护主义的沙文主义民粹主义塑造为“倒置的”后民族主义,是通过对普遍政治价值的领土和种族占有而产生的。因此,世界主义自由主义和民主的包容性理想,声称人文主义的后民族主义已被身份主义者转变为特权文明生活方式的元素,以免受“入侵者”的侵害。我们认为,在后民族星座的语法范围内,跨欧洲沙文主义很容易受到包容性表达的影响。然而,将激进的、解放的社会转型放在首位不需要更多的民主,而是需要对资本主义进行有原则的批判
