Beschreibung
“This volume is a timely and important contribution to the manifold controversial debates about 'populisms‘. The book covers populist parties in Europe, the European Union, and beyond, in the US, Australia and South America. The systematic and detailed, excellent analyses deconstruct far-right and left-wing populist utterances in many genres and contexts and thus allow for a profound understanding of these complex and intricate phenomena.”--Ruth Wodak, Lancaster University, UK, University of Vienna, Austria
“This is an extremely rich and much-needed addition to populism research. It provides a diverse collection of discursive approaches to populism and illuminates many cutting-edge issues like the relationship between populism and nationalism, the rubric of post-truth and the role of gender in populism. Starting from the premise that language and meaning are essential to understanding politics, Kranert has collected an astonishing ensemble of cross-disciplinary and international papers that will greatly enhance the reflexive and rigorous analysis of populist phenomena.” --Yannis Stavrakakis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GreeceThis edited book presents a cross-disciplinary and international conversation about the discursive nature of ‘populist’ politics. Based on the idea that language and meaning making are central to the political process, the authors present research originating from disciplines such as sociology, political science, linguistics, gender studies and education, giving credence to the variety and context dependence of both populist discourse and its analysis. Using a variety of different theoretical frames, the volume examines international case studies from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, looking at different modes of populism as well as the interaction of populism with other ideologies and belief systems. The chapters draw on several disciplines, and will be of interest to scholars working in linguistics, political studies, journalism, rhetoric and discourse analysis.Michael Kranert is a lecturer in sociolinguistics at the University of Southampton, UK.
