Johannes von Moltke is Professor of Germanic Languages and Literatures, and of Film, Television, and Media, at the University of Michigan. In his Academy project, “The Identitarian Reflex: Critical Theory and the ‘Metapolitics’ of the New Right,” Moltke aims to shed light on how the New Right mobilizes arts and ideas in today’s culture wars, by considering specifically the New Right’s media strategies, its identity politics, and its efforts to shift the very language of public discourse to the right.
