Populism and social media: how politicians spread a fragmented ideology

Populism is a relevant but contested concept in political communication research. It has been well-researched in political manifestos and the mass media. The present study focuses on another part of the hybrid media system and explores how politicians in four countries (AT, CH, IT, UK) use Facebook and Twitter for populist purposes. Five key elements of populism are derived from the literature: emphasizing the sovereignty of the people, advocating for the people, attacking the elite, ostracizing others, and invoking the ‘heartland’. A qualitative text analysis reveals that populism manifests itself in a fragmented form on social media. Populist statements can be found across countries, parties, and politicians’ status levels. While a broad range of politicians advocate for the people, attacks on the economic elite are preferred by left-wing populists. Attacks on the media elite and ostracism of others, however, are predominantly conducted by right-wing speakers. Overall, the paper provides an in-depth analysis of populism on social media. It shows that social media give the populist actors the freedom to articulate their ideology and spread their messages. The paper also contributes to a refined conceptualization and measurement of populism in future studies.

Decompensation: A Novel Approach to Accounting for Stress Arising From the Effects of Ideology and Social Norms

To date, research that has drawn on Meyer’s (2003) minority stress model has largely taken for granted the premises underpinning it. In this article we provide a close reading of how “stress” is conceptualized in the model and suggest that aspects of the model do not attend to the institutionalized nature of stressors experienced by people with marginalized identities, particularly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. As a counter to this, we highlight the importance of a focus on the effects of ideology and social norms in terms of stress, and we argue why an intersectional approach is necessary to ensure recognition of multiple axes of marginalization and privilege. The article then outlines the concept of decompensation and suggests that it may offer one way to reconsider the effects of ideology and social norms. The decompensation approach centers on the need for social change rather than solely relying on individuals to be resilient.

《逃离德黑兰》的新历史主义解读

新历史主义的兴趣在于检查和描述殖民话语的权力系统.在奥斯卡最佳影片《逃离德黑兰》中,美国文化帝国主义权力关系体现在再现的话语之中.通过对话语权的运用,影片一方面对伊朗进行“妖魔化”的再现,另一方面宣扬美国的核心价值观,展现了权力话语的结构和运作.毫无疑问,此片是美国意识形态输出的又一成功之作.     

Back to the capitalist future: Fantasy and the paradox of crisis

This paper draws on a Lacanian perspective to better understand how crisis can paradoxically produce fantasies of ideological renewal. Using the 2008 economic meltdown as an example, it argues that these events are articulated as a part of a crisis narrative that links past ideals with future stability and progress. At the level of subjectivity, these fantasies reflect the psychological trauma individuals feel in the face of encountering the incoherent and fragmentary ‘Real’ of their identity during periods of greater social and economic upheaval. In the context of the current crisis, political leaders attempted to reinforce capitalist ideologies through promoting a fantasy of recovery that connected future prosperity with values of financialization and a global ‘free market’, as is borne out in their public statements following this event. Critically, this points to the importance of ‘traversing’ these fantasies in order to break free from desires for renewal in favour of those emphasizing transformation.     

文艺“民族形式”论争及其对“五四”新文学重新评价的深层根源探析

抗日战争爆发,中国共产党从民族国家利益出发进行了民族主义的政治文化转向,在这一背景下,延安开展了文艺“民族形式”运动。对“五四”新文艺重新评价成为“民族形式”论争的焦点,是形成文艺“民族形式”论争思潮的关键因素。对“五四”新文学重新评价的深层根源在于中国文学民族化与现代化的先天悖论,在于文学所属意识形态发生转变的政治历史需求。     

“终结论”思潮勃兴原因透析

任何事物的产生、发展都有其历史必然性。20世纪五六十年代兴起于西方社会的“终结论”思潮亦是如此。科技革命的兴起、全球化的延展、“普世价值”的宣扬、苏联解体东欧剧变等主客观条件促使“终结论”的兴起并于80年代再度勃兴，成为影响我国意识形态安全的重要因素。因此，探寻终结论思潮产生的原因对我国社会主义事业建设与发展极其重要。
