Drawing on the analysis of public controversies around violence, this article examines the construction of "extremism" in Spain. We explore how differences in public understanding of the limits of the (un)acceptable end up normalising the far right. Our article examines four public controversies: a public debate on terrorism glorification; an episode of collective violence; the deployment of violent speech in social media by a group of retired military personnel; and an episode of anti-Semitic speech in a Francoist memorialisation. We argue that the singularities of each country's political culture play a role in the understanding of extremism, so while certain political expressions are constructed as extreme, others remain in "the realm of the normal". Our findings shed light on the process in which far-right discourse is softened and clarifies some challenges faced by Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) paradigms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
