The Youth Appeal of Far-Right Music Festivals
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Overall, the article was succinct, to the point, and had a clear thesis and methodology. At the same time, the author gives the reader a good sense of what these festivals are like, how different kinds of white supremacist and ultra-nationalist activities intersect at them, and how the live festivals and social media coverage of these festivals interact as spaces for young men's identity formation. Some small quibbles and points of clarification: (1) The article focuses entirely on male engagement with these festivals, but do these events attract women as well? How does the presence or absence of women affect the presentations of masculinity at these events? (2) The author describes festivals in several different countries. Should the reader consider these different festivals to be part of a single far-right social-cultural world or does each belong to a distinctive far-right faction or community? Are there people who attend or virtually follow all the festivals described? (3) These festivals seem to attract an international following, so what are the primary languages in which these festivals and their related online activities take place? Is learning a new language part of the experience of crafting one's far-right identity or do these festivals mostly draw people who already speak a particular language?
