Call for paper: Mediated populism

Mediated populism

This article Collection examines the relationship between populism and media culture and practice. In its original conception, populism describes a political alignment with the ordinary people against the interests of the governing, cultural and corporate classes. It assumes that formal elites are dedicated to self-enrichment and the retention of power, and only the aggressive animation of popular interests can counter their protective norms and tactics. This political stance has occasioned forms of rhetoric and practice claiming association with popular sentiment, often based on constructions of anti-politics and authenticity.

Populist discourses have become essential in understanding the relationship between media and contemporary politics. This article Collection promises to examine mediated populism as it continues to innovate in a multi-modal media setting and amid shifting political circumstances.

Articles should make a contribution to the understanding of mediated populism and its histories. Contributions that expand the study of populism across new contexts and political movements, and encourage an emphasis on emergent media platforms, are encouraged.

Topics welcomed include, but are not restricted to:

  • Populist politics and social media
  • Mediated populism across the political spectrum
  • Mediating authoritarian populism
  • Mediated populism and emotionality
  • Populism and mediatization
  • Populism in a cross-national and international setting
