In 2017, Ruben Östlund’s film, The Square, garnered tremendous critical acclaim for satirizing the problems in high-end contemporary art culture. In my research, I take these issues seriously, using The Square as a point from

Far-right radicalisation and social media are subjects that are increasingly addressed in a joint fashion. However, a nuanced understanding of the features of this relationship remain elusive due to their novelty, research emphasis in large organisations, and the difficulty to access radical groups and individuals. Online media outlets are one of the few channels through which these features can b
