Dear colleagues,

We are happy to announce that our special issue of Javnost-The Public on 'Far-Right Fictions: The Far Right and the Politics of Films, Series and Videogames’ has just been published online.

The special issue will hopefully be of interest to everyone interested in far-right (meta)politics and/or the politics of popular culture.  The issue includes a mapping review of work on the far right and audiovisual fiction, reflections on the nature of far-right engagement with audiovisual fiction, and case studies on far-right engagement with film, series and videogames.

The entire special issue can be found here: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rjav20/32/3

The table of contents is below.

Best wishes,

Benjamin De Cleen, Omran Shroufi, Joke Bauwens and Kevin Smets
