Professor in Modern History

Personal Profile

Roger Griffin is Professor in Modern History and lectures principally on aspects of the History of Ideas relating to ideologies and values that have shaped the modern world. His major work to date is The Nature of Fascism (1991), which established the first new theory of generic fascism for over a decade. It is a theory that continues to have an influence on the ‘new consensus’ now emerging in fascist studies among political scientists and historians. At the heart of this process of 'convergence' between scholars is growing agreement on the centrality to the definition and understanding of fascism of its bid to inaugurate a national or ethnic rebirth (palingenesis). The ultimate aim of this process of renewal would be to bring about a revolution in the entire ethos and culture of society which would have an impact on every sphere of social life, a transformation embodied in the project of the 'new man'.

The approach outlined here became the basis of Fascism, a documentary reader of primary sources relating to fascism published by OUP (1995), International Fascism. Theories, Causes, and the New Consensus, a secondary source documentary reader published by Arnold in 1998, and the 5 volumes of secondary sources of Fascism which he edited with Matthew Feldman and which were published in Routledge’s acclaimed series 'Critical Concepts in Political Science' in 1993. This was the largest collection of secondary sources in fascism so far published in any language in a single edition.

Roger Griffin has also published numerous articles and chapters relating to fascism and ultra-nationalism both inter-war and post-war (see publications list), as well as developing a specialist interest in related issues, including neo-fascism and new forms of radical right (e.g. ‘ethnocratic liberalism’ and the ‘groupuscular right’), national identity, racism, multi- culturalism and multi-ethnicity, modernity, globalization, ecologism, and the psycho-historical dynamics of terrorism.

In the last few years Roger Griffin's research has focused increasingly on the relationship between the fascist quest for the total palingenesis of society and modernity, and in particular on locating it within the phenomenon of modernism as a reaction against the secularizing, disenchanting, disembedding impact of modernity. The fruits of this research is Modernism and Fascism. The Sense of a Beginning under Mussolini and Hitler, published by Palgrave in May 2007, and the monograph series Modernism and... which he is editing for Palgrave (contracts are in the process of being issued for the first batch of over 25 proposals for this series). Modernism and Fascism has been acclaimed by several experts as a major breakthrough in understanding the historical and psychological dynamics not just of fascism, but every variety of utopian radicalism generated by the conditions of modernity, and has led to invitations to present keynote talks elating to his theory in Amsterdam (June 2008), Helsinki (July 2008), Bucharest (September 2008), Vienna (November 2008), Munich (March 2009), Paris (March 2009) and New York (December 2010). In future he proposes to devote his energy to fostering comparative and collaborative projects between like-minded academics of various specialisms in the area where fascist studies interacts with studies of totalitarianism, modernity, modernism, political religion, extremism, ecologism, and all forms of modern(ist) culture that strive to overcome the crisis of modernity. This reorientation in his career relates closely to his editorship of the journal Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions which he held up up to February 2008. Together with Matthew Feldman (Northampton) Paul Jackson (Brookes) and Tudor Georgescu (Brookes) he has created a new Political Religion section of the Blackwell-Wiley on-line journal Religion Compass which they are determined to turn into a significant site for the dissemination of accurate and stimulating articles on political religion written by scholars from every corner of the international community and accessible throughut the world .

He has been Fellow of the Royal Historical Society since 2003.

Undergraduate Teaching

Apart from contributing to several 1st year survey history and historiographical courses, Roger Griffin teaches two advanced courses on fascism, and The Storm of Progress, a study of the currents of modernity and modernism that arose in Europe between 1850 and 1918.

He supervises dissertations on a wide range of topics in modern and contemporary history whose ideological dynamics involve powerful currents of mythic and utopian energy.

Postgraduate Teaching

He has supervised a number of MA and PhD projects on various aspects of fascism, modernity, and political religion, and introduced a new MA special subject, Terrorism in Context', for the 2006/7 session which continues to recruit well. He is particularly interested in MA and DPhil supervising topics relating to modern forms of ideological extremism, particularly fascism and terrorism, and a wide variety of utopian movements in art, culture, and politics.

Research

History of ideas relating to modern political ideologies such as generic fascism, nationalism, racism, terrorism and ecology.

Immediate research projects

At present (February 2008) Roger Griffin is in the process of overseeing projects to translate the monograph Modernism and Fascism into French and Spanish, commissioning volumes for the new Palgrave series 'Modernism and', and preparing to write his own volume in the series, 'Modernism and Terrorism'.

Ongoing research projects:

The modernist dynamics of modern political and religious extremism as obstacles to the emergence of a sustainable, humane, global community. He is also engaged in establishing an institution to promote transnational humanism based at Brookes. In the next five years he hopes to obtain the funding for a major monograph project on the modern concept of 'blood' in the mythic discourses of utopian projects as the intersection of science and myth (e.g. in the notion of asacrifice to the nation, race, or socialist future).

The ideological implications of the transition to an ecological sustainable society

Other talks
In the last 15 years Roger Griffin has given numerous talks at History Association evenings, staff seminars, and sixth-form conferences in Britain. He was interviewed about fascism on Hamburg local radio (Freies Sender Kombinat) and about Bush's use of the term Islamo-Fascism by The New York Times, as well as being consulted about aspects of fascism (e.g. Joerg Haider's death and the rise of the radical right in Austria, the 'new' BNP under Nick Griffin).

Consultancy

Roger Griffin has carried out an ideological profile of a suspected extreme right-wing ideologue in connection with legal proceedings and delivered lectures on the socio-ideological dynamics of terrorism and fascism to the security forces. He invites requests for consultation work of this nature and in areas relating to the design and delivery of courses on topics relating to fascism, terrorism, and modernism at postgraduate, undergraduate and sixth-form/high school level.
