How can we make sense of the current age of global political
disruption when populism leaves norms overturned and the future
form of democracy unpredictable? Political representatives are no
longer elected for their experience and expertise but out of a
desire for an ephemeral sense of authenticity, a direct connection
to citizens, and the certainty of the truths they tell. But when
populists project these ideas and claim to represent the citizenry,
what is reality and what is strategic performance for the media?
This conceptually rich book explores the performative strategies of
the populist politicians who disrupt the normative order with acts
of 'truth-telling'. It disentangles their complex use of media-from
their appeal to news values through spectacular disruptions to
sophisticated social media commentary-in repertoires of mediated
performances. Based on vigorous empirical research in both
established and transitional democracies, it develops a theoretical
framework of populist communication in the new media environment.
