Dugin sur l’Ethnicité contre la Race

Giuliano Adriano Malvicini

7,345 words

English original here

Puisque le libéralisme, en tant qu’idéologie fondée sur les droits de l’individu, appelle à « la libération vis-à-vis de toutes les formes d’identité collective en général, [et est donc] entièrement incompatible avec l’ethnos et l’ethnocentrisme, et est l’expression d’un ethnocide théorique et technologique systématique », l’« ethnocentrisme » et l’affirmation positive de l’identité « ethnique » sont vues par Dugin comme une base potentielle pour la résistance au libéralisme.

Ya que el Liberalismo, como una ideología fundada sobre los derechos del individuo, llama por la “liberación de todas las formas de identidad colectiva en general, [y por lo tanto es] completamente incompatible con el ethnos y el etnocentrismo, y es una expresión de un teóricamente sistemático y tecnológico etnocidio”, el “etnocentrismo” y la afirmación positiva de la identidad “étnica” son vistas por Dugin como una potencial base para la resistencia al Liberalismo.

Dugin on Ethnicity vs. Race, Part 2

Giuliano Adriano Malvicini

George Heermann, Cronos, 1696

3,439 words

Part 2 of 2

Spanish translation here

The ethnos continues to exist as the substratum of traditional societies. For example, the pre-Indo-European ethne continue to exist as the third function of Indo-European societies. Dugin explains the emergence of traditional civilizations through the emergence of nomadic pastoralism, that is, the appearance, from out of autochthonous agricultural society, of small, nomadic groups of war-like herdsmen.

Dugin on Ethnicity vs. Race

Giuliano Adriano Malvicini

7,026 words

Translations: French, Spanish

Since liberalism, as an ideology founded on the rights of the individual, calls for “the liberation from all forms of collective identity in general, [and is therefore] entirely incompatible with the ethnos and ethnocentrism, and is an expression of a systematic theoretical and technological ethnocide,” “ethnocentrism” and the positive affirmation of “ethnic” identity are viewed by Dugin as a potential base for resistance to liberalism.

Mircea Eliade, Carl Schmitt, & René Guénon

Greg Johnson

1,399 words

Mircea Eliade’s The Portugal Journal, trans. Mac Linscott Ricketts (Albany, N.Y.: SUNY Press, 2010) covers the years 1941 to 1945 when Eliade was a Romanian diplomat in Portugal. It is thus a prequel to Eliade’s four-volume Journal (Vol. 1: 1945–1955, Vol. 2: 1957–1969, Vol. 3: 1970–1978, and Vol. 4: 1979–1985), which begins with his arrival in Paris in September of 1945 and continues for the rest of his life.

Youth Without Youth

Trevor Lynch

2,179 words

Youth Without Youth (2007) is Francis Ford Coppola’s stunning film adaptation of a novella of the same name by Mircea Eliade (1907–1986), the Romanian scholar of comparative religion and Iron Guard sympathizer. I highly recommend this beautiful, mysterious, endlessly captivating movie. In style, it is classic; in substance, it is eternal.
