<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted0">This paper draws on case studies from 12 far right female influencers to explore the enregisterment and circulation of white nationalist
women's language, that is the use of the conventions of women's language for white nationalist metapolitics. It first explores how the language of love and romance manuals like John Gray's</span><i style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted0"> Men

to create a moral universe and a masculinist metapolitics centered around a return to "tradition" embodied by a return to postwar economic roles. It then looks at the circulation and shift of this register in two new areas: granola nazis, who draw on media
not around romance but organic food, farming and natural health, and neoliberal mystics, who draw on occult and spiritual traditions. Granolas deeply naturalize far-right ideas as desirable gender roles and motherhood, no longer 1950's suburbia but 1850's
homesteads or a notion of an "ur-tradition" described as "ancestral living" which uses the figure of the woman as mother to link nature and white tradition. Neoliberal mystics return to the gendered cosmology of </span><i style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="ContentPasted0">Men

compulsory heterosexuality into the language of spiritual meaning. Both groups repeat and even deepen the gendered cosmology of the far right, while bringing it in spaces and cultural styles we previously associated with a "hippie" left. The talk will conclude
with questions about circulation and naturalization of far right beliefs.</span><br class="ContentPasted0">
