Research bricolage on far-right metapolitics: Superordinate intersectionality perspectives on digital identities
Author
Summary, in English
This article is a reaction to previous appeals to widen the conceptual remit of Critical Discourse Studies (CDS). It proposes research bricolage as means for critical engagement with conceptual constructs originating from adjacent social science disciplines. Borrowing such concepts as far-right metapolitics from political science, superordinate intersectionality from gender studies, and Web 2.0 sociotechnical affordances from digital sociology, the proposed CDS innovation is better equipped to examine the digital identities that are discerned in the far-right metapolitical project. The article provides an innovative manner to undergird a specific methodological approach, namely Discourse Historical Approach (DHA), with a feminist ethics of capacious reflexivity, which enables researchers to triangulate successfully research ethics legislation at both EU and national level, and the guidelines for ethical internet research. The article illustrates the suggested research bricolage and the methodological articulations by focusing on an important European far-right entity, which has significant transnational and national connections.
