TWO MORE "NEW" BOWDEN SPEECHES UPLOADED

The Youtube user Gaelic Neoreactionary is spoiling us at the moment by uploading the Jonathan Bowden speeches only previously seen on DVD. The first of his two new uploads is Bowden's speech on the guru of Italian fascism, Gabriele D'Annunzio. Bowden explores the link between D'Annunzio's artistic and political careers, and how his romanticist and traditionalist literature that brought together many strands of thought and styles shaped his politics. Equally, his aristocratic background is important, particularly in relation to modernity, as D'Annunzio joined the Italian Air Force during the First World War, the pilot becoming the modernist knight of the air. Equally, this blend of modernism and traditionalist elitism would shape his fascist ideology.

NEW JONATHAN BOWDEN SPEECHES UPLOADED

The Youtube channel Gaelic Neoreactionary has uploaded two speeches by the late great Rightist philosopher, artist and writer, Jonathan Bowden, which have previously only been available on the DVD The Oratory of Jonathan Bowden, a copy of which I am a proud owner. The first speech is on pro-imperialist Japanese author, playwright and actor Yukio Mishima, who committed suicide by seppuku/harakiri in 1970 after a failed coup d'état in which Mishima attempted to restore Japan to its imperial status with the Emperor as absolute ruler.
