Abstract

The issues that defined the research agendas of the first generation of critical theorists who tried to understand the threats of the extreme right have been displaced. From this proposition, the author affirms that it is possible that the current expressions of Critical Theory have no longer the necessary tools to refer to some of the threats that represent the strengthening of rights in the present societies; moreover, that it is possible that the silence on these phenomena by the Critical Theory has helped to find ourselves in a situation in which the presence of positions of the extreme right is normalized more and more. Can Critical Theory still provide an arsenal to the current cultural war?
