Dalla Cattedrale all’Anticristo. L’immaginario del ressentiment del pensiero neoreazionario

Recent studies have defined neo-reactionary thought as a constellation of diverse ideologies and narratives that are sometimes in conflict with one another but united by common enemies. This essay interprets certain themes in neo-reactionary thought as a specific social imaginary fueled by mimetic ressentiment within the context of a religion-intensified culture war. From a methodological level, this paper presents a theoretically grounded interpretive qualitative analysis of a corpus of texts by Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and Peter Thiel, selected on the basis of the research question. The most important concepts of the selected texts are analyzed according to three categories: “Orthodoxy,” “Heresy,” and “Reaction.” The aim is to outline a mapping, albeit partial, based on the interpretation developed.
