There is a consensus that right, and left-wing populism is on the
rise on both sides of the Atlantic, from Donald Trump in the United
States, to Spain's leftist Podemos. These may utilize different
kinds of populist mobilizations but the fact remains that elite and
mass opinion is fuelling a populist backlash. In Populism and
Passions, twelve scholars engage with discourse analysis,
democratic theory, and post structural political thought to study
the political logic of passion for contemporary populism. Together
these interdisciplinary essays demonstrate what emotional
engagement implies for the spheres of politics and the social, and
how it governs and mobilizes individuals. The volume presents:
Theoretical and empirical implications for political analysis;
Chapters on the current rise of populism, both right and left-wing
trends, their different ideological features, and their
relationship with the logic of passion; Theoretical implications
for the future study of populism and democratic legitimacy. A
timely analysis of this political phenomena in contemporary Western
democracies, Populism and Passions is ideal for students and
scholars in political theory, comparative politics, social theory,
critical theory, cultural studies, and global studies.
