Summary, in English

This chapter provides a succinct overview of the rapidly developing field of scholarship on far-right manifestations across Europe from a gendered perspective. Its starting point is to acknowledge that gender plays a crucial role in grasping the ideological underpinnings and the modus operandi of the various entities, which are generally associated with the larger field of socio-political manifestations further to the right of the mainstream centre-right. The chapter puts forward the concept of far-right continuum, as a means to address the difficulty of delineating the discretely interrelated forms of far-right extremism and to enable a theoretical discussion informed by a gender perspective of the common ideological traits identified in research on these diverse entities. The chapter then provides a quick sketch of upcoming research directions for research on gender and the far-right continuum, by evidencing the benefits of an interdisciplinary agenda in the field.
