Is populism the unsurpassable horizon of our own time or is it a
temptation that should at all costs be resisted? Who, and to what
end, does the jargon of populism serve? To answer these questions,
Alexander Stagnell, Gustav Strandberg, David Payne, and their
contributors trace the socio-historical significance of the concept
of 'The People' in western philosophy and its relationship to the
trend of populist politics today. Bringing together scholars from
the fields of aesthetics, critical, cultural and political theory,
philosophy, and rhetoric, this volume critically explores the
issues facing contemporary society today. With an international
team of authors, each chapter speaks to a range of contexts
recently affected by populism today, including Sweden, Brazil,
Germany, Austria, France, and the UK. As political and economic
establishments face a crisis of legitimacy, Populism and The People
in Contemporary Critical Thought reveals the shaky foundations on
which the concept of 'The People' rests. Engaging with critical
theory, feminist theory, Marxism, phenomenology, and
psychoanalysis, this collection highlights how 'The People' comes
to stand in for both belonging and exclusion, enabling us to see
the uses and abuses of such terminology as pressing theoretical and
political concerns.
