Meeting Description:

In today’s world, shaken by the effects of globalization, the aftermath of the
financial crisis and widespread political corruption, people in many countries
are reaching out for radical political solutions. In many parts of Europe,
experts have perceived a growing mistrust of conventional politics: as the
perceived gap between citizens and their representatives has widened, new
political formations have arisen that promise to shake up the status quo and
give more concrete expression to people’s real needs and desires. Such groups
vary according to region, taking on many different forms (right-wing,
left-wing, nationalist), but many of them have been classified as “populist”,
in that they claim to give voice to “the will of the people”. Their
self-presentation gives importance to aspects of identity that position them
as diametrically opposed to supposedly hegemonic groups, and the ensuing
dichotomy is emphasized by heightened degrees of affect. Their multimodal
messages provide a broad field of study for discourse analysts, as well as for
experts in traditional and new media.  

Plenary speakers:

Majid KhosraviNik
Benjamin de Cleen
Beatriz Gallardo

We also ask for communications for the following three specialist panels:
