The aim of this article is to empirically detect and compare the relevance (and forms) of the topic of globalization in right wing extremist discourse, focusing on the Italian extreme right and emphasizing similarities and differences between different types of extreme right organizations, either political parties and movements. The study is based on a frame analysis carried out on different types of organizational documents (party newspapers, monthly magazines, organizational documents, and archives of online dis-cussion forums) over a period from 2000 to 2006 for a total of 2.500 frames analysed. How important is globalization compared to other topics in the discourse of the Italian extreme right? What are the issues to which globalization is usually related (economics, politics, culture)? What are the solutions suggested by the extreme right organizations to cope with globalization? And what are the “enemies” and “allies” in relation to this matter? The differences in the framing strategies of different types of groups will be shown, as well as the novelty but also the non-novelty of the way in which Italian extreme right addresses the discourse on globalization with the construction of a complex identity made where traditional values and innovative elements coexist.
L’obiettivo di questo articolo è rilevare empiricamente e confrontare la rilevanza (e le forme) del tema della globalizzazione nell’estrema destra, concentrandosi sul discorso dell’estrema destra in Italia e sottolineando somiglianze e differenze fra tipi di organizzazioni diverse. Lo studio si basa su una frame analisys condotta su diversi tipi di documenti organizzativi (giornali di partito, riviste mensili, documenti e archivi di forum di discussioni online) in un periodo dal 2000 al 2006 per un totale di 2500 frames analizzati. Quanto è importante la globalizzazione rispetto ad altri temi nel discorso dell’estrema destra? Quali sono le principali issues alle quali la globalizzazione viene riferita (economia, politica, cultura, ecc.)? Quali le soluzioni suggerite dalle organizzazioni di estrema destra per far fronte alla globalizzazione e quale il ‘noi’ e il ‘loro’ costruito nel discorso in relazione a questo tema? Le diverse strategie di framing di tipi di gruppi differenti (partitici e non, fino a gruppi violenti subculturali) verranno mostrate, così come la modernità, ma anche la non-modernità del modo in cui l’estrema destra italiana inquadra il tema della globalizzazione, con l’osservazione della costruzione, su questi temi, di una identità complessa in cui convivono (non sempre pacificamente) valori e schemi interpretativi tradizionali e elementi innovativi.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to empirically detect and compare the relevance (and forms) of the topic of globalization in right wing extremist discourse, focusing on the Italian extreme right and emphasizing similarities and differences between different types of extreme right organizations, either political parties and movements. The study is based on a frame analysis carried out on different types of organizational documents (party newspapers, monthly magazines, organizational documents, and archives of online dis-cussion forums) over a period from 2000 to 2006 for a total of 2.500 frames analysed. How important is globalization compared to other topics in the discourse of the Italian extreme right? What are the issues to which globalization is usually related (economics, politics, culture)? What are the solutions suggested by the extreme right organizations to cope with globalization? And what are the “enemies” and “allies” in relation to this matter? The differences in the framing strategies of different types of groups will be shown, as well as the novelty but also the non-novelty of the way in which Italian extreme right addresses the discourse on globalization with the construction of a complex identity made where traditional values and innovative elements coexist.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
