What we talk about when we talk about ‘the elite’ in populism studies: re-examining an often-neglected term in the cases of Die Linke and AfD Populism studies have almost exclusively focused on understanding the phenomenon of populism based on how ‘the people’ are constructed as a political subject. Indeed, most of the relevant literatur...

🆕New podcast discussing #antipopulism

Some of my fav points:

📍Antipopulism projects fears, anxieties and democratic elitism

📍Is the Essex School normative? What about other approaches?

📍The people of right-wing populism is not exactly homogenous

How does emancpatory politics and strategy look today?

Send us your abstract by Friday.

Judith Butler and Yannis Stavrakakis will be keynotes (in person).

Critical populism studies (as we call it these days) increasingly highlight the transgressive-performative function of populism.

@bolandeira.bsky.social and @theoaiolfi.bsky.social not only capture this but also help consolidate the argument theoretically.

Read their new article below!

Is Europe alright?

There have been many (and good) analyses of Podemos in terms of politics, ideology and class. My chapter in "Populism & Time", edited by Andy Knott at Edinburgh University Press, focuses on an almost completely neglected dimension in politics: temporality amazon.es/Populism-Time-…

Thanks Fra. So there's opion not to pay? That wasn't clear.

It looks like that good people are involved with it, both as editors and authors, but honestly it looks a bit too commercial.

What do you think about Frontiers in #PoliticalScience (journal)?

I am totally against paying for publishing own work, but would like to hear what people think about this journal.
