In Discursive Disruption, Populist Communication and Democracy,
Elena Block explores the links between declining democratic
discourses, populist communication, and reflects on the
communicative and moral dimensions of populism. Block proposes the
concept of discursive disruption to help to identify, analyze and
understand the disruptive power of populist speech, turning to the
communicative styles of Venezuela's late President Hugo Chavez and
the US's President Donald J. Trump to illustrate and support this
new conceptual and analytical tool. While the mainstream political
class and media traditionally sought to manage the processes of
political communication, the book contends that they have now been
displaced and their role has been undermined. Middle ground
politics and journalism have been substituted by the adversarial
rhetorical styles of populists, multiplied through multi-fragmented
channels, texts and voices. With this book, Block continues her
introspection in the conceptual, communicative and mediatic
dimensions of populism by adding a perspective that draws on
democratic and discursive theories. Discursive Disruption, Populist
Communication and Democracy is ideally designed for scholars and
professional communicators in political science and communication
studies eager to understand the connection between weakening
discourses of modern democracy and the pervasiness of
confrontational styles of populist communication in contemporary
political exchanges.
