Nature, Masculinities, Care, and the Far-Right

2021 (English)In: Men, masculinities, and Earth: contending with the (m)Anthropocene / [ed] Pulé M., Paul; Hultman, Martin, Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2021, p. 183-206Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter examines the entanglements of masculinities and nature through a focus on ecofascism. By considering the concept of care, Darwish shows how the Scandinavian neo-Nazi group The Nordic Resistance Movement’s (NRM) environmentalism and care for nature translate into sexist, racist and anti-humanist agendas. Ecofascism is based on Nazism’s ideological nature complex and influential discourses in ecological thought from the latter half of the 1900s. The NRM’s mobilisation over the last decade reflects a resurgence of ecofascism as reactions to global climate change and other crisis tendencies. This chapter also demonstrates how oppression of others can become entangled with politicised ecosophies. By appearing as entities free of ideology, these far-right conceptualisations of “nature” and “environmentalism” become perverse and powerful means of seeking ideological legitimacy. Darwish sheds light on the risks faced by the foundational discourse on ecological masculinities for not rejecting ecofascism strongly enough and suggests that the discourse must sharpen its definitive considerations of care as all-inclusive and clarify its opposition to ecofascism in order to ensure the greatest possible care for the earth, all others and self.
