The deadly confrontations between the far right and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia have put a spotlight on the memory politics of right-wing activists and politicians. These events not only set off a cascade of local governmental action in the United States to remove icons of the Confederacy, but led to countless comparisons - particularly with how the problematic figures and events of European history have been addressed (or not). In this panel we seek to bring together scholars of different disciplines who study the ways in which right-wing movements and leaders use and understand the past. We will focus on innovative approaches to studying this phenomenon. The contributors use various methods, including an analysis of bureaucratic technologies employed by the Flemish right, an institutional analysis of Hungarian memory politics, an ideological analysis of the New Right in Germany, an example of "traveling right-wing memory" of Hungarian radical emigres to the United States, and a proposed model of right-wing memory politics illustrated with a case study of Poland. All these approaches have in common that they regard memory politics as "routine" field of activity and policy-making for right-wing actors.
