Meeting Description:

In today's digitally connected world, the media plays an even more
potent role in all aspects of life, from the private to the public. It
serves not only as a source of (mis)information but also as an enabler
for networking, social transformation, and political manifestations.
As democracies everywhere nowadays sway between the forces of populism
and authoritarianism, this conference aims to reflect critically on
how various media platforms, actors, users, and practices negotiate
with or intervene the dominant structures that have always become the
hotbed of power struggle amongst differing forces and interests.

Populism refers to a range of political stances that juxtapose the
idea of “the people” against “the elite”. It is an ideology which
presents “the people” as a morally good force that are in contrast
with “the elite”, who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving.
Ernesto Laclau defines populism as an emancipatory social force
through which marginalized groups challenge dominant power structures.
Populism can also be based along class, ethnic, or national lines and
is often combined with other ideologies, such as nationalism,
socialism, and liberalism.

Over the last few years, authoritarian populism has emerged in many
different parts of the world. Most if not authoritarian populist
groups have come to power by claiming to represent the will of the
people and dividing the general populace into antagonistic and
sympathetic camps. This trend in authoritarian populism encompasses a
wide range of the world’s powerful countries, many of which are
democracies. Also, it has broad support in each country’s respective
populace.

Many scholars agree that this global turn to authoritarian populism is
a result of the failures of globalization. When promises of increased
economic growth failed to materialize, globalization has instead
resulted in deindustrialization, accelerating inequality and dramatic
economic restructuring, political unrest, and a rise in nationalism.
These trends intensified during and after the 2008 financial crisis,
making many populations worldwide dissatisfied with the world order
(Gricius, 2021).
