1994
Controversy surrounding a populism conference panel
A 1994 Telos conference panel involving Sam Francis prompted discomfort among attendees after he made a statement about anti-Jewish riots in Britain. The episode became part of later criticism of the journal’s links to paleoconservative and populist circles.
1990
Controversy over engagement with the European New Right
Telos drew criticism during the 1990s for publishing and translating work by European New Right figures, including Alain de Benoist. Critics associated some of these ideas with ethnonationalism and with later far-right intellectual networks, while the journal presented its role as one of critical and heterodox engagement.
