[Linganth] Fw: Invitation to ELAN Workshop, September 22 from convenors Meghanne and Janet

[Jing]

Dear linguistic anthropology colleagues,

It's my pleasure to invite you to the first meeting of the ELAN workshop
series for this year, where we'll be discussing the paper "White Pride and
Profit," by Catherine Tebaldi & Alfonso Del Percio. Andy Graan will be the
discussant for this exciting paper. The abstract is below.

If you would like to attend, please email me at meghanne.barker at gmail.com and
I can send you the paper. As with all drafts for our workshop, *p**lease do
not circulate the paper further without the authors' permission. *

The workshop will take place on Thursday, September 22, at 12:15-13:45
British Summer Time, on Zoom. The Zoom invitation is pasted below.

Please contact me if our usual timing for the workshops doesn't work well
for you. I can send out a poll to see if it makes sense to change the time
for future meetings, as we're happy to have as many people as possible
participating!

The current schedule for this year can be found here

Meghanne and Janet

“White Pride and Profit”

Catherine Tebaldi & Alfonso Del Percio

Women have become increasingly influential ‘ideological entrepreneurs''
(Finlayson 2019) on the far-right, selling white pride as influencers and
as small business owners. They use the tools of social media (platform
capitalism and parasocial relationships, that is, selling yourself and fake
friendship) to circulate far-right politics, what Maly (2018) terms
metapolitical intimacy. They shape a discourse that makes far-right
politics seem normal, nostalgic and attractive, a “metapolitical seduction”
(Tebaldi 2021) performing as ideal wives, or hot yoga moms.



This paper looks at two women from English fascist group patriotic
alternative : Laura Melia (formerly Towler) and Jody Swingler. These women
use a cottagecore aesthetic, a celebration of nature, or a love of yoga to
celebrate, and monetize, English identity selling tea, and ‘pure English’
soap. It asks how these women sell Englishness, and themselves, on social
media? With what (language) ideologies? What do these do?
