(Eng) A brightly colored, fauvist-style interior painting by Henri Matisse from 1914. A grey and black cat is seen staring intently at a glass bowl of red fish placed on a small table. The background shows green curtains and a window, with flattened forms and vivid contrasts. The scene is calm yet visually striking, with simplified shapes and bold colors typical of Matisse’s expressive style. (Tr) Renkli, fovist tarzda yapılmış bir iç mekân tablosu. Masanın üzerindeki cam fanusta birkaç kırmızı balık yüzüyor. Fanusa doğru merakla bakan gri-siyah bir kedi var. Arka planda yeşil perdeler ve pencere görünüyor. Renkler canlı, formlar sade ve kontrastlı. Matisse’in tipik parlak renk paletiyle sakin ama dikkat çekici bir atmosfer yaratılmış.

Eng. This study explores the emotional bond between charismatic leaders and their followers. Stronger identity increases attachment to leaders—but rejecting disliked leaders doesn’t require identity strength. Why? Because rejecting the out-group leader is already part of the "us" feeling. #populism Tr. Popülizm, kimlik ve karizma nasıl birbiriyle bağlantılıdır? Bu çalışma, karizmatik liderler ve takipçileri arasındaki duygusal bağı araştırmaktadır. Daha güçlü bir kimlik, liderlere olan bağlılığı artırır, ancak sevilen liderleri reddetmek için kimlik gücüne gerek yoktur. Neden? Çünkü dış grubun liderini reddetmek zaten “biz” duygusunun bir parçasıdır.

Indem Trump mit dem Finger auf die globalen Eliten zeigte, verkörperte er ein Kernelement populistischer Rhetorik: Er porträtierte sich als Verteidiger des Volkes gegen die Eliten. Diese Rhetorik prägte maßgeblich sein Image als wahrer Volksvertreter.

By pointing fingers at global elites, Trump embodied a core element of populist rhetoric — portraying himself as the defender of “the people” against the elites. This rhetoric played a key role in shaping his image as a true representative of the people.

Popülizm adı konulmamış bir "hayalet" gibi demokratik sistemlerin içinde geziniyor. Gelişmiş toplumlar bu hayaleti demokrasinin eksikliklerini gösterdiği için olumlu bir yere koyuyor. Demokratik kurumların zayıf olduğu toplumlarda ise çoğulcu yapının ortadan kalkmasına hizmet ediyor.

This study analyzes over 50,000+ tweets from Western European right-wing populist leaders, revealing how their “us vs. them” rhetoric fuels harmful polarization. Security dominates in Spain, crime in Italy, and Islamism in France. Conclusion: Social media amplifies division.

✍️ Rosanvallon, bu kitabında literatürdeki yaklaşımların ampirik, teorik yönelimlerinin popülizmin doğasını anlamaya dair kavramsal bir çerçeve sunmaktan uzak olduğunu eleştirel bir dille analiz ediyor.

Populism has emerged with different dynamics in different geographies since the last quarter of the 19th century. The characterization of a political actor or movement as “populist” without considering the socio-cultural, socio-political and democratic systems of countries needs empirical findings.

One of the most challenging topics in populism research is charismatic leadership.Not every charismatic leader is a populist and not every populist is charismatic.However historical examples show that populist movements on the left and right are sprouting under the leadership of charismatic leaders.

In the literature on populism, the term “ordinary people” is associated with anti-elitism. Everyone outside the local-global "political and "economic elites" is referred to as “ordinary” and included in the “us” sphere. This coincides with populism's politics of simplicity.

Bandwagon effect. Trump used media to insinuate he had more popular support than he did. Low-info voters saw coverage of Trump’s rallies, thought he must not be that bad since he seemed popular and wasn’t in prison awaiting trial for insurrection and espionage.

Interesting. Also, I'd suggest, depending on the argument and the audience, populists who use the term "ordinary people" to mean "us" usually don't refer to the "elites" as "them". The "us v them" dialectic more often uses "them" to mean a foreign underclass who don't share "our values".
