Ideology, Stories and Messages: Understanding Populist Radical Narratives

Abstract

One of the distinctive patterns of populist discourse is its focus on dividing ‘us’ from ‘them’ by relying on various strategies of ‘othering’. Indeed, populism appears to diametrically oppose an ‘in-group’ with some dangerous ‘other’, thereby creating a pervasive schism in society. This panel goes beyond this distinctive feature. Specifically, it looks at the various discursive constructions that underpin populist and radical right narratives and ideologies by analysing their economic agendas, their visions of democracy, their speeches as well as their interpretations of historical legacies. By doing so, the panel sheds light on the vast repertoires and facets of populist and radical right discourses.
