Abstract

This article maps the nodes of the far-right ecosystem as it intersects with the touchstones of the medieval past—both real and imagined. In particular, I examine how the visual and textual rhetoric of the medieval past (and its various reincarnations) is re-deployed in contemporary white terrorism, especially from Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 and Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019.
