Populism: between the context and the form?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The affective dimension of populism is at stake when we consider the populist moments as foundational or constitutive of a new movement and political identity: from this immanent reading of Ernesto Laclau, populism is the temporary, affective occupation of the idea of \u201cus\u201d in the field crisscrossed with antagonisms. Considering populism not a regime or system of governance, but a logic, the democratic ethos of populism can be seen as connected to the ideas of contingency and temporality. We can recognize here how the flow of different significations can be arrested and even turn their direction. Through examples, the talk offers heuristics for analysis of populism, and even its praxis. In asking what is in the form of populism, we do not ignore the contents, but are able to better perceive what gets affectively loaded as us-building or othering material and pay attention to the processes and mechanisms at stake.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
