Nina Power is an English writer and philosopher. She was involved in a lawsuit against artist Luke Turner, which was dismissed in 2023.

Biography

Power served as both editor and translator (with Alberto Toscano) of Alain Badiou's On Beckett.[1]

Some of the publications she regularly contributes to are The Telegraph and The Spectator.[2][3] She previously regularly contributed to The Wire and The Guardian.[4][5]

In 2019, Power and Daniel Miller (a writer and editor at alt-right magazine IM-1776[6][7]) sued artist Luke Turner for defamation over a series of tweets by Turner. Power and Miller argued the tweets suggested they were both antisemitic.[8] Turner said he was "in terror of the volume and virulence of online abuse directed towards him" from the controversy.[8] Almost £30,000 was raised through a crowdfunder to support Power and Miller's legal action, titled "Targeted, harassed and falsely labelled a fascist". Turner countersued for harassment.[9] At trial, it emerged that Power had been writing anonymously for a far-right blog, Parallax Optics,[10] and had shared far-right conspiracy theories with Miller including the idea that black people and white people are different alien races.[11] The judge dismissed the claims of both parties in November 2023, and ordered Power and Miller to pay 80% of all Turner's court costs, with a first instalment of £250,000 due within a fortnight.[8][11] Following this, Miller and Power were each declared bankrupt in February and July 2024 respectively.[11]

Power was a senior editor of and columnist for the online magazine Compact until her resignation in July 2024.[12][13][14][15]

Political views

In May 2023, Power spoke at the National Conservatism Conference in London on the topic "After the Individual."[16]

Some of her works have argued for a "return to old values and virtues", especially as a response to a claimed masculinity crisis.[17][18]
