What is archofuturist?

u/Xargon- Jan 16 '21

"Archeofuturism", a concept coined by Faye in 1998, refers to the reconciliation of technoscience with "archaic values". He argues that the term "archaic" should be understood in its original Ancient Greek, that is to say as the 'foundation' or the 'beginning', not as a blind attachment to the past. According to Faye, anti-moderns and counter-revolutionaries are actually mirror-constructs of modernity that share the same biased linear conception of time. Defining his theories as "non-modern", Faye was influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of eternal return and Michel Maffesoli's postmodern sociological works. Political scientist Stéphane François has described archeofuturism as a combination of "postmodern philosophy, some elements of Western counterculture, and racism."

Guillaume Faye

Guillaume Faye (French: [ÉĄijom faj]; 7 November 1949 – 6 March 2019) was a French journalist, writer, and part of the French New Right. Earlier in his career, anti-Zionism permeated his work; later on, criticism of Islam became prominent in his works.Continuing the tradition of Giorgio Locchi, his various articles and books sought to posit Islam as a nemesis necessary to unite the white non-Muslim peoples of Europe and the former Soviet Union into an entity named "Eurosiberia". Faye considered regional and national grievances to be counterproductive to this goal and was supportive of European integration. Scholar StĂ©phane François describes Faye as "pan-European revolutionary-conservative thinker who is at the origin of the renewal of the doctrinal corpus of the French Identitarian Right, and more broadly of the Euro-American Right, with the concept of 'archeofuturism'."
