CALL FOR PANELS AND PAPERS

Populism as movement and rhetoric

International conference

Jyväskylä, Finland on 17–19 March 2016
Venue: University of Jyväskylä, Seminarium (S)
Period for applying until October 7th 2015


In Finland as elsewhere in Europe, rapid social change, multicultural
challenges, social inequality, and the way different kinds of threat are
disseminated by the media for public imagination, have given rise to populist
protests and appeals to cultural values usually combining anti-elite and
anti-immigrant nationalism with nationally and locally bounded demands of social
justice. In the conference, the populist movement and populist rhetoric are in
the focus. We invite papers that study populism as a phenomenon with multiple
sources and multiple agendas. Issues of nationality, Europeanness, ethnicity,
gender, and environmental issues can be explored against the backdrop of the new
public sphere and the intermingling of the private and the public in it.

Yannis Stavrakakis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
