Ekeman’s research seeks to understand in what way the ‘metapolitical’ project of the New Right relates itself to the vulnerability (leading to doubt, loss of identity, loss of collective agency) conceived of as inherent in modernity, and which is perpetuated by liberalism as embodying modernity’s dominant ideology. Allusions to this vulnerability can be found echoing in European identitarianism and certain right-wing populisms.
Ekeman’s overarching question thus concerns what is involved in the attempt at overcoming vulnerability.”
