This book proposes a unified approach to populism that sees it as a
primarily rhetorical concept. Populism is on the rise worldwide
with both populist leaders and movements gaining power, and the
term "populism" resounds in political debate, journalism, and
scholarship. Populism as a phenomenon seems to instantiate
perennial issues besetting rhetoric (e.g., the charges of
manipulation, exclusive reliance on opinion over knowledge, and
abuse of emotional appeals), yet relatively little research on
populism has emerged from the discipline of rhetoric. This volume
investigates the theory and practice of populism under the heading
of rhetoric but as an interdisciplinary effort involving scholars
in rhetoric as well as neighbouring disciplines such as political
science and sociology. Seven case studies covering Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Italy, UK, USA, and Venezuela offer conceptual discussions
as well as close analyses applying both historical and theoretical
approaches. In the introduction, the editors outline the problem of
populism and their project, presenting the book's wide-spanning
case-based explorations. In an afterword they seek to distil a
"minimal" rhetorical definition of populism. The claim or pretense
to speak for "the people" emerges as the feature that connects the
highly diverse instances studied in the book-and populisms in
general, the editors hypothesize. They argue that this prevalent
rhetorical move, often glossed over as unremarkable and banal, is
in principle more debatable and deserving of more vigilant scrutiny
than usually assumed.
