Just out #openaccess in @PRXjournal : my IMHO so far best text on #farright #protest #rituals in #Germany during & beyond pandemic 🥳 It deals with the puzzle of #movement persistence from an #ethnographic perspective (1/5) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… 
I argue that the ritualization of #protest is strongly linked to #movement persistence. Basically: when participants believe in the deeper sense of the protest #ritual, they take to the streets despite a lack of both resources & external triggers (2/5)
I draw on my by now >2y #fieldwork in the #German #farright #noPegida that survives in #Dresden for already 8y against all odds (in fact they happen to demonstrate tonight for sth like an “anniversary” - my take on earlier versions blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/202…) (3/5)
I am happy that the @ECPR #openaccess @PRXjournal gave this piece a home in a section on #interpretivism in political science. Thanks for supporting my fieldwork and writing to #Horizon2020 @popeurope @KoneenSaatio @nowtimeusspace & @helsinkiuni for #openaccess funding 🙏🏽 (4/5)
Hugely indebted to the critique & ideas by many great researchers, esp. @KEggeling on #interpretivism @KubikJan on #ritual @PietroCastelliG on an early version at @ecpr_ed & the authors of @PatchworkEthno on the idea of “patchwork” ethnography during and beyond pandemic 🙏🏽 (5/5)
