Abstract:

The political landscape in Europe is currently going through a phase of rapid
change. New actors and movements that claim to represent 'the will of the
people' are attracting considerable public attention, with dramatic
consequences for election outcomes. This volume explores the new political
order with a particular focus on discursive constructions of 'the people' and
the category of populism across the spectrum. It shows how a unitary
representation of 'the people' is a central element in a vast range of very
diverse political discourses today, acting to anchor identities and project
antagonisms in a multitude of settings. The chapters in this book explore
commonality and contrast in representations of ‘the people’ in both radical
and mainstream political movements, looking in depth at recent political
discourses in the European sphere. The authors draw on approaches ranging from
Essex-style discourse theory over critical discourse studies, corpus analysis
and linguistic pragmatics, to investigate how historically situated categories
such as the people and populism become fixed through local linguistic, textual
and narrative practices as well as through wider ideological and discursive
patterns.
