Abstract
Abstract This paper deals with the Identitarian Movement, a presently highly salient Europe-wide right-wing youth movement, and its appropriation of the concepts of ‘space’ and ‘time’ in acts of protest. This appropriation is crucial for the movement, as ‘space’ and ‘time’ refer to specific ideologies which allow a positioning towards events, actors and discourses. In this study interdisciplinary approaches are adapted that lead to a descriptive linguistic discourse analysis of a single protest event. In order to enable an extensive and in-depth analysis, this single protest event is split up in three parts: 1. The announcement of the protest, 2. its performance in a place and 3. the continuation of the protest in/through social media. The findings argue to take the ideologization of history, places and actors into account when discussing the identity-building concepts and, especially, when undertaking critical and political follow-up studies of such movements.
