Event overview
A conference brought to you by Department of Media and Communications and funded by the Sociological Review Foundation Limited
This day-long seminar aims to identify and explore not only the different articulations of ‘populism’ but also a model of media power that relates both to the capacities of communication technologies and to the ways in which they are circumscribed by the constraints and priorities of contemporary political environments. As such we are interested in questions such as:
• What are the predominant forms of populism and what are their distinct features?
• To what extent have different populisms penetrated state institutions and influenced mainstream parties?
• What role have the media played in legitimising and challenging populist movements and narratives? How have they represented populist parties and leaders?
• What strategies have populist movements adopted in relation to the media?
• To what extent have social media platforms inhibited or facilitated meaningful public dialogue about the growth of populist movements?
Participants include: Michaela Benson, Joan Pedro Caranana, Liz Fekete, Natalie Fenton, Des Freedman, Laura Grattan, Gholam Khiabany, Angela McRobbie, Aurelien Mondon, Abeyami Ortega, Victor Pickard, Srirupa Roy, Bev Skeggs, Dimitrios Theodossopoulos, Alberto Toscano
