This essay offers a critical reading of contemporary far-right movements through the lens of Michel Foucault’s notion of “Ubuesque power.” It examines grotesque, grandiloquent, and anti-scientific figures as forms of power whose effectiveness paradoxically stems from their own disqualification. Three key dimensions are addressed: the structuring of power within an anti-scientific field of adversity, a doxastic and absurd imprint that inverts the regime of truth, and the articulation of an ambivalent affective regime. The essay argues that these forms of governance demand a scientific-ritual aleturgic critique capable of dismantling their mechanisms from within. Rather than denouncing the infamous, the proposed critique seeks to invent new modes of resistance that intertwine knowledge, truth, and affect.
