Project description
How youths in Italy and Chile shape their future through political activity in the Real Right
Youths in Italy and Chile identify with self-declared Real Right groups. The EU-funded RightFutures project will investigate how and why these youths engage in various futural orientations through political performances, events, activities and material aspects by focusing on security and defence, the (dictatorial) past, and the nation. The project will apply a comparative ethnography methodology based on data collected through participant observation, extended interviews, participatory mapping, and secondary sources. RightFutures aims to investigate the ‘Real Right’ from a futural temporal perspective to shed light on fresh insights and explore the global relevance of this topic.
Objective
RightFutures inquires into the ways future-oriented activities shape the political experiences of youths (18-35 yo) who identify with the self-defined ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile. RightFutures research question (RQ) asks: “how and why do Youths who identify with the self-defined ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile engage with multiple futural orientations through political performances, events, activities, and materialities?”. RightFutures investigates the RQ through three specific objectives, focusing on security and defence, the (dictatorial) past, and the nation. It uses the method of comparative ethnography (data will be collected through participant observation, extended interviews, participatory mapping, and secondary sources). RightFutures will focus on Youths who identify with groups that have inherited the countries’ dictatorial legacies, acknowledging that the existence and practices of these groups become pivotal points used to renew the dictatorial past’s rightfulness. These groups thus preserve, perpetuate, and renew the dictatorial past’s contemporary relevance and permanency within democratic structures. Its innovative contributions are: i) investigating the ‘Real Right’ using a novel analytical focus through a futural temporal perspective; ii) proposing a novel ethnographic comparison between Italy and Chile to explore the global relevance of this topic; and iii) producing novel understandings of the ‘Real Right’ in Italy and Chile.
