Meeting Description:

The RomPol workshop 2020 will focus on the following research axes:

1) Comparative studies of populist discourses emerging from different
countries and circulating in the media, in France, Italy, Spain, Brazil and -
for this edition - Sweden;
2) Analyses of the seduction strategies and rhetorical means used in different
populist discourses in one of the countries on focus;
3) Studies of media productions (oral and/or written) with focus on the
notions of information vs misinformation and the dissemination of fake news,
in the light of specific discursive events under the recent years;
4) Investigations of the political representation and the relations between
populism and direct democracy in different countries as well as the so-called
citizens' initiative referendum (RIC) in France.

These research avenues will provide complementary insights to better
understand the rising populism in the countries on focus as well as the way
the media participate in its dissemination and circulation. It is our hope
that the workshop Populism, political representation and media language and
power increase the number of collaborations with researchers from different
backgrounds who are interested in interdisciplinary and comparative research
on political discourse, in particular on the development of populism in
Romance-speaking countries and in north European countries. Several
researchers within ROMPOL are also part of the network “Language and Power” at
Stockholm University, which will enable us to build bridges between different
disciplines working specifically on populism and media power.
