Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines antisemitism on the Norwegian far-right from the first wave of politically organized neo-Nazism in the late 1960s to the present. Two sets of questions form the core of the analysis. First, the ideological content of antisemitism is analysed. Which motifs, images, and narratives have circulated in Norwegian far-right antisemitism from the 1960s to the present, and what has their function been? Second, the article focuses on the relationships between antisemitism and other group constructions. To what extent has antisemitism on the Norwegian far-right been supplemented with or replaced by other enemy images? One main conclusion is that anti-Jewish expressions often signal a total worldview. Here, not only immigration or multiculturalism but the prevailing system in toto is rejected as the ‘tool’ for an alleged ‘Jewish conspiracy’. In this sense, antisemitism often marks a revolutionary ideological position and militant political strategies.
