Abstract
Based on empirical research in Europe, this chapter explores jihadist and far-right extremism, with a focus on embodied experience, subjectivity and imaginaries of violence. It identifies distinguishable radicalisation pathways, experienced in terms of 'us', 'you' and 'I'. Each of these pathways is associated with different imaginaries and practices of violence. The chapter demonstrates that analytical categories developed to explore jihadist violence offer important insight into contemporary far-right violence, through an examination of the attack on a Synagogue that took place in Halle, Germany, in October 2019.
