Transformation, Modernisierung, Autoritarismus: Deutungslogiken und rechte Anschlussfähigkeiten an den Bruchlinien der sozial-ökologischen Wende – das Beispiel Landwirtschaft in Deutschland
摘要
This article examines how far-right appropriations become possible in the context of a socio-ecological turn—not only through the agency of far-right actors, but also due to ambivalences within the self-understanding of the societal mainstream that supports such a turn. The analysis is theoretically framed by feminist and decolonial approaches, as well as by concepts from far-right studies that enable a perspective on societal lines of conflict that is sensible to relations of power and domination. The empirical core of the study is a content analysis of accounts from the field of socio-ecological agriculture.
For the empirical analysis, we conceptualize community, nature/naturalness, and place as fields of tension in which societal struggles over a socio-ecological turn condense. We are interested in how, in references to community, nature/naturalness, and place, ideal-typical developmental paths of a socio-ecological turn (transformation, modernization, authoritarianism) factually overlap. We identify three interpretive logics that structure these overlaps: (1) the assumption of an ontological given versus the recognition of social contingency, (2) the imposition of harmony versus the negotiation of difference, and (3) a personalized logic of relationship versus a structure-critical politics of society. We argue that reflecting on these interpretive logics is a necessary condition for identifying points of connection for far-right narratives—and simultaneously marks potential starting points for a democratically resilient socio-ecological transformation.
