Briar Dickey is a PhD researcher and FWO fellow. His work critically interrogates online reactionary discourses, focusing on the intersections of ideology, identity, gender and imagination in technological environments. His PhD research examines specifically far-right engagement with the fictional and ludic content of video games, exploring the role of ludic, narrative-driven fictions in far-right discourse and metapolitical strategy. He is particularly interested in how cultural interrogations of reactionary politics can generate spaces of utopian and disruptive possibility.
