Stroom Den Haag

Late-stage Capitalism and the Rise of Reactionary Masculinities Online

In this lecture, Marcus Maloney (Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Centre for Postdigital Cultures, Coventry University) presents multiple projects exploring the socioeconomic, cultural and psychological dynamics underpinning the rise of the male-centred, antifeminist and reactionary online ‘manosphere’. The idea that the reactionary manosphere is but one of many fascism-leaning social phenomena that have emerged as products of an exhausted neoliberal economic system, is central. This system no longer serves the interests of the populations subjected to it – if it ever did. The failure of this globalised economic system, and the increasingly disingenuous ‘liberal consensus’ underpinning it, has given birth to a monstrous ideological shadow, one which threatens to consume the current neoliberal world order and establish itself as the “rough beast” that Yeats foresaw in his famous poem, ‘The Second Coming’. This lecture is part of the Stroom and SpaceX (Spatial Practices in Art and ArChitecture for Empathetic EXchange) partnership project.
