Discipliner les corps, diffuser l’idéologie : engagement corporel et stratégie métapolitique transnationale des Active Clubs
Abstrak
This article analyzes the phenomenon of Active Clubs (AC), a transnational far-right network that combines physical training, virilist fraternity, and accelerationist discourse. Inspired by the Rise Above Movement, these clubs present themselves as fitness spaces while functioning as vectors of radicalization through masculine sociability and self-transformation. The analysis is based on a corpus of over 1,000 publications from Canadian, French, and American Telegram channels, as well as media resources produced by the movement itself. Two key concepts structure the analysis: metapolitics, understood as a cultural strategy for spreading ideology outside traditional electoral channels; and bodily engagement, which refers to the embedding of ideological commitment in everyday gestures, physical routines, and community rituals. This article shows that Active Clubs embody a contemporary form of fascism disseminated under the guise of an attractive lifestyle, staged through performative digital content.
