Right-wing extremist ideology with its community and gender concepts can be described as a "show" (Adorno, 1946, p. 402) supported by defense mechanisms and performed before itself, which is offered and appropriated as a "habitus model" (Botsch 2007, p. 6) by identifiable actors in the form of a "world of experience of right-wing extremism" (Pfeiffer, 2011). Many members of the leadership structures of different spectrums of right-wing extremism in Germany have experienced these processes of appropriation in so-called "camps" and on so-called "trips" of völkisch youth associations and in turn send their own children there (cf. Röpke 2007, p. 42f.). In this research project, the significance of these "camps" and "trips" as spaces of political socialization in the sense of an affective mediation of right-wing extremist ideology will be examined. The focus will be on the psychodynamic processes of the "völkisch" communalization and gendering that take place there. From an empirical-qualitative point of view, text, audio, image and video documents of selected "völkisch" associations (e.g. magazines, websites, experience reports, photos) and biographical-narrative interviews with dropouts will be analyzed.
