Background

Dr. Cathrine Thorleifsson (b. 1982) is a Researcher at the Centre for Research on Extremism at the University of Oslo. She holds a PhD in Anthropology from the London School of Economics and Political Science (2012). Her chief theoretical interests lie in anthropological approaches to the study of nationalism, migration, borders and identity.

Cathrine's doctoral research was based on two-years fieldwork (2007-2009) in an Israeli border town amongst Mizrahi Jews decending from Arab and Muslim lands. She used the dynamics at play along the border to develop wider conclusions about the shifting nature of nationalism and identity categories, and the ways in which they are used and understood in practice.

Pursuing her interest in theories of nationalism, her postdoctoral research examines the drivers and character of populist nationalism in globalising Europe. Based on multi-sited ethnograhic fieldwork amongst the supporters of radical right parties in the United Kingdom, Norway and Hungary, the project explores how different material conditions, cultural contexts and historical events shape populist identification, discourse and practice. Her research also explores the multiple and intersecting ways in which antisemitic and anti-Muslim imaginaries are transnationally produced and circulated by far right actors within and beyond Europe.

Cathrine has been a member of the ERC-funded research project Overheating: The Three Crises of Globalisation led by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and the NFR-funded project European Strains led by Kalle Moene. She is currently a member of the NFR-funded research projects Jewish Life in 21st Century Norway and Intersecting flows of Islamophobia (INTERSECT).

Cathrine has studied Arabic at the University of Damascus and at Sana'a University of Science and Technology in Yemen and Hebrew at the University of Haifa. She speaks Arabic and Hebrew.

In addition to her academic pursuits, Cathrine has previously worked for the United Nations Development Programme in Syria (2005) and carried out consultancy work for the World Bank, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European Commission on the impact of Syrian forced displacement on political mobilisation in the Middle East and Europe.

She frequently provides expert analysis for national media including television and radio, as well as other international outlets. Cathrine is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Analysis of the Radical Right (CARR).

Cathrine was born in Washington D.C. She has lived in the United States, the United Kingdom, Syria, Israel and Norway. She lives with her husband and two daughters in Oslo.

Thorleifsson, Cathrine Moe (2018). Nationalist Responses to the Crisis in Europe: Old and New Hatreds (Research in Migration and Ethnic Relations Series). Routledge. ISBN 1472466470. 144 s. Show summary
The last few years have witnessed a remarkable resurgence of populist nationalism as indicated by Brexit, the Trump presidency and the rise of radical parties of the far right. Nationalist Responses to the Crises in Europe examines the drivers, methods and local appeal of populist nationalism. Based on multi-sited fieldwork in England, Hungary and Norway, Cathrine Thorleifsson explores the various material conditions, historical events and social contexts that shape distinct forms of xenophobia and intolerance toward migrants and minorities. Combining analysis of the discourses propagated by populist radical right parties like Ukip, Fidesz, Fidesz, Jobbik and the Norwegian Progress party with an analysis of the fears and concerns of supporters, Thorleifsson develops wider conclusions about the drivers and character of populist nationalism and the way in which these differ across national contexts. An empirically grounded study of how the demand and supply sides of populist nationalism are reconfigured in response to the globalized crises of economy, culture and displacement, this book will appeal to scholars of anthropology, sociology and politics with interests in nationalism, exclusion, racism and contemporary xenophobia.

In Amsterdam attending a workshop that examines the interaction between the global upsurge of nationalism and social media. We will explore nationalism from a global and comparative perspective and consider the various forms of political mobilization, propaganda, and protest that are propelled by the use of social media. How do social media challenge and reconfigure the sense of nationhood? How do conspiracy theories spread through social media, and what are their effects in various national cultures? How is national identity represented in cyberspace, and how do algorithms affect our sense of nationhood?

vilke ytre faktorer har bidratt til at Jordan Peterson har blitt så populær? Hva gjør at mange unge menn oppfatter ham som en farsfigur? Er konservative kjønnsroller på vei tilbake? Hva er forholdet mellom personlighet, kjønn, marginalisering og politiske holdninger? Peterson erklærer seg som anti-ideolog - er det overhodet mulig? Psykologistudenter Uten Grenser (PUG) - Oslo har invitert et knippe eksperter for å belyse fenomenet Jordan Peterson med fokus på samfunn, kjønn og ideologi. Psykologiprofessor Jordan Peterson har seilet inn i sentrum av flere populærkulturelle kontroverser, og ser ikke ut til å være på vei ut igjen med det første. I debatter om kjønn, ideologi og samfunnsutvikling har han posisjonert seg som en motvekt til en identitetspolitikk, politisk korrekthet og feminisme som han mener har løpt løpsk med våre verdier og sunne fornuft. Enkelte har beskyldt Peterson for å legitimere høyreekstrem ideologi, bidra til undertrykking av kvinner og for å proklamere konspirasjonsteorier. Andre mener han først og fremst proklamerer noe godt; at han dypest sett er en spirituell leder som rettleder unge menn mot et bedre liv. Uansett hva man måtte mene om ham er en ting åpenbart: Peterson opererer ikke i et vakuum - han fungerer først og fremst i en kontekst. For å belyse denne konteksten er det nødvendig med et faglig perspektiv på tvers av disipliner om hvordan vi kan — og kanskje bør? — forstå tankegodset han representerer. Dette er derfor en samtale ikke bare om Peterson, men om hva slags samfunn vi lever i og hva slags samfunn vi ønsker å leve i. Med oss har vi et spennende panel: Ordstyrer for arrangementet er Hanne Østli Jakobsen. Hun er journalist i Morgenbladet, og har vunnet ViS-prisen for forskningsjournalistikk. Jakobsen har intervjuet Jordan Peterson og siden vært et viktig bidrag i de ulike debattene rundt ham. Salman Türken har en doktorgrad i psykologi fra UiO, hvor han skrev om sosialpsykologiske perspektiver på nyliberalismen og hvordan dette påvirker individ og samfunn. Türken har også forsket på psykologiske effekter av globalisering, integrering og global identitet. Cathrine Moe Thorleifsson har doktorgrad i antropologi fra London School of Economics and Politics, og jobber ved Senter for ekstremismeforskning og forsker på spørsmål knyttet til nasjonalisme, politisk antropologi, migrasjon, grenser og identitet. Øystein Gullevåg Holter har doktorgrad i sosiologi fra UiO. Han jobber ved Senter for Tverrfaglig Kjønnsforskning ved UiO, underviser blant annet i faget “menn og maskuliniteter” og har bidratt til den seneste debatten rundt Peterson som omhandler Norge som likestilt land og derfor et bevis på biologiske forskjeller mellom kjønnene.

These two fields have developed in parallel, but in relative isolation from each other. Bringing them together might be mutually beneficial at a moment when populist movements are bringing nationalism back on the stage. We will facilitate empirical and theoretical exchange between political scientists and political anthropologists who inquire into realities that can hardly be framed within the normative / methodological assumptions about culturally homogeneous nations and politically unified states. Political Science: European integration has led political science and practice to re-think the theory of the state, questioning the normative / methodological nationalism and statism implied in the Westphalian order. The re-thinking of the state has been fuelled by, among other issues, an increased awareness to cultural pluralism, following the reaction against the Holocaust, and the arrival of new ethnic minorities. Institutions and citizenship beyond the nation state have been researched by various researchers at the European University Institute, such as Rainer Bauböck, Olivier Roy and the Migration Policy Centre. However, a return of normative and methodological nationalism might be seen, with the populist political responses to economic crisis. Political Anthropology: Within political anthropology, a parallel, but separate development has taken place. Following the national independence of former colonies, the former anti-colonialist nation-building has been partly replaced by a post-colonial sensitivity to the complex historical heritage in former colonies. Political anthropologists such as Sharon Hutchinson, Deborah Poole, Knut Nustad and Bruce Kapferer are researching complex sovereignty and legal pluralism not only within “third world” states, but also among indigenous “fourth world” peoples. In particular, the indigenous rights struggle, with its recent developments in international law, has implied a search for proof within legal anthropology. As a result, legal scholars in Latin America have developed constitutional legal theory that transcend the normative / methodological nationalism / statism of the previous legal positivism (see e.g. the work of Marcello Neves and Ugo Mattei). Such research has contributed to the refinement of concepts such as “legal pluralism”, “jurisdictional pluralism” and “complex sovereignty”, which may or may not include the presence of territorially clear-cut monopolies of coercive force. The research on complex social, political and/or military systems imply novel theoretical developments in political anthropology and legal anthropology, with potential consequences for state theory and legal theory in general. These two research fronts have developed in parallel, yet in relative isolation from each other. Nevertheless, some recent multidisciplinary and comparative research has started to exploit the potential to bring the two research fronts together. For example, recent research on the indigenous Sámi people of Northern Europe has brought together these two strands of research, e.g. in the edited volume Indigenous Politics, published at ECPR Press in 2016. This volume, as well as similar research on the Sámi, indicates that the Nordic states never were capable to impose the ideal of the unitary state/nation in practice, compared to how strongly it was claimed in theory. This is only one example of what might happen when the two strands of research are being brought together. [....]

Nordhost is organised as a common project focusing on uniting the subprojects and disciplines. The main activity at the workshop will therefore be to unify the subproject around NORDHOST's primary research question; Is there anything specific about Nordic forms of hospitality which are developing in the encounters between arriving migrants and civil society receiving projects? Furthermore, the goal of the workshop is to develop the plans for future NORDHOST publications, with the preliminary title: Nordic (In)hospitalities – Hosts, guests and resistance in a context of forced displacement. NORDHOST's six junior researchers will also have their first common assembly, at Holmen Fjordhotell 23rd August. The goal is to establish a working and research collective between the fulltime researchers of NORDHOST. The workshop is only open to researchers affiliated with the NORDHOST project and not open to the public.

The Fourth Annual Conference of the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies, a joint program by the Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München (LMU Munich) and the Universität Regensburg (Regensburg University), is dedicated to populism in Central, East and Southeast Europe. The dream of a united Europe seems to be on the ropes. Anti-EU platforms are on the rise, producing the first major faits accomplis such as Brexit. Hungary and Poland are governed by parties that portray Brussels as a second Moscow and oppose the European federalist ideal. Arguably, the most shocking event in this development is the election of a right-wing populist as President of the United States. The big-tent parties in Europe, which have so far maintained the post-war liberal order, have found no effective antidote to the wave of populism. In the post-socialist countries, the democratic achievements since 1989 seem under threat by policies that draw a clear line between “us” and “them”, foster hatred and offer easy solutions to complex problems. However, populism also indicates wide-spread frustration about inequality and alienation under the current capitalist system. This year’s conference of the Graduate School will put populism in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe in perspective: it will draw comparisons with other regions of the word and elucidate the contexts of populist politics. The four panels of this interdisciplinary conference will engage with the languages of populism; the typologies of populist politics; the historical trajectories of populism in the region; and populist subjectivities. In a special round-table, journalists reporting from the region will discuss the causes and likely consequences of populist politics.

Thorleifsson, Cathrine Moe (2017). The Crimmigrant Dystopia: Populist securitization of Muslim migration in Europe. Show summary
Islamophobic discourse is global but takes a variety of local expressions across the world today. Research literature about the problem is growing, but few studies look at the comparative and global aspects of the issue. Islamophobia is a contested concept and for simplicity we follow Bleich (2011) and define Islamophobia as “indiscriminate negative attitudes or emotions directed at Muslims”. See aso Lopez (2011) for questions of definition. Negative attitudes and emotions directed against Muslims are expressed in different local languages using different symbols and narratives according to time and place, but there are also common themes. We ask two separate but related questions. Firstly, we want to know to what extent similar patterns can be identified between various local Islamophobic discourses and how these should be studied comparatively. What are the similarities and differences across different political and cultural contexts? How do specific religious/cultural traditions inform local Islamophobias? What are the required research methods to understand patterns? Secondly, we ask how local and global expressions of Islamophobia relate to each other. In particular, we are interested in knowing more about how key local “entrepreneurs” or “mediators” – individuals, groups, organizations - connect local and global Islamophobic discourses across various media. Instead of only focusing on Islamophobias in the West, as most research has done, we want to bring in new knowledge about how indiscriminate negative attitudes or emotions directed at Muslims take shape in other cultural contexts, including, but not limited to, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and a range of Christian societies. Papers will look at Islamophobic discourses from a comparative perspective and at mediation and translation between local and global discourses. Papers may present research findings, but this is an exploratory workshop that seeks to define important questions for future research and delimit new ways of studying the dynamics of local and global Islamophobias.

Abstract This paper explores the rise and popular appeal of United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in the postindustrial, white-majority, working-class town of Doncaster. In 2015 and 2016 UKIP obtained an electoral breakthrough and referendum victory in traditional Labour land on a strong anti-immigration and Eurosceptic platform. Based on ethnographic fieldwork amongst UKIP supporters and politicians this paper argues that it was the party’s invocation of culture and economy in tandem that gave the populist radical right its local appeal, as it translated concrete experiences of insecurity into fears and fantasies of cultural-religious difference. Long term precarization of labour and livelihoods coupled with accelerated migration nurtured the conditions conducive to a particular mechanism of neo-nationalism I term peripheral nationhood. Peripheral nationhood entails the process through which people who feel marginalized by European and global integration, invoke discourses and practices of neo-nationalism in the search for existential security, future and identity. UKIP tapped into local grievances and industrial nostalgia, moving symbolically the “forgotten and neglected” from the socio-economic margins to the cultural forefront of the nation in the image of its patriotic defender. Social imaginaries of ‘crimmigrant’ Others served to reinforce the boundaries of Britishness/Englishness and UKIP as the righteous protector of national welfare, security and Judeo-Christian civilization as a whole

Økonomiske kriser og folkevandringar både internt i Europa , men og frå utsida av kontinentet har ført til sterke nasjonalistiske responsar rundt om i heile Europa. Grenser blir stengde, høgreradikale parti veks fram i mange land og nasjonane kranglar om flykningekvotar og fri flyt av arbeidskraft. Kva tenker folk på gata om sin eigen situasjon, i England og i Ungarn? Vi møter sosialantropologen Cathrine Moe Thorleifsson i samtale med forskingsjournalist Olav Høgetveit. (5:5)
