London: The Palingenesis Project, 2016To commemorate the late Jonathan Bowden on what would have been his 61st birthday, Greg Johnson provided a thoughtful tribute essay, accompanied by a comprehensive aggregation of links to articles, speech transcripts, reviews, and more. Although so many of us never had the privilege of meeting him or attending his speeches in person, Bowden nonetheless remains an inspiration. (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)
Monument to George N. Hardinge (1781–1808), 1808

Jonathan Bowden was born 61 years ago today, on April 12, 1962. He died on March 29, 2012, just short of his 50th birthday. Jonathan was a painter, novelist, essayist, playwright, actor, and orator. He was also a friend. His ideas and personality have had a real and permanent impact on my approach to New Right metapolitics. I wonder what Jonathan would have written in the last eleven years. I wonder what he would have made of Donald Trump, the Alt Right, Black Lives Matter, and other developments. We would have gained much from his insights and guidance. (more…)

After reading Doug Huntington’s insightful review of It Follows, David Robert Mitchell’s excellent horror film, I watched the movie for the first time. Set in Detroit, its austere, derelict cityscape was an eerie amalgam of crumbling industry and disused grandeur which was juxtaposed with a near-idyllic white suburbia.
Detroit’s dark inner-city denizens, distant shambling creatures, are relegated to the background; they are viewed in passing from afar by the film’s main characters as they drive into the city in search of answers. (more…)

Many of you Constant Readers of my many essays on Neville and New Thought have no doubt wondered, “Well, if it’s all in your mind, why don’t you just think about what you want. For example, that $300,000 you need.” (more…)

“Everything builds on something that existed before you, and without the concrete that is beneath your feet, you’re lost, aimless, and atomized.” — Jonathan Bowden
A decade after his untimely demise, Jonathan Bowden continues to be a cult figure on the Dissident Right famous both for his political oratory and the incisive nature of his cultural analysis. (more…)

In my writing for Counter-Currents, I’ve called for the formation of a dissident high culture. At the time of writing, there is only a smattering of cultural institutions which are explicitly Dissident Right, which means that the future of dissident high culture is whatever we make it. The future is a vast empty space which we have been tasked with filling.
But the past of dissident high culture is not so empty. No, it is rather crowded over at the Restaurant de la Tour Eiffel. Indeed, you could say that the avant-garde of the past was decisively reactionary. (more…)
