color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">"Parasitical, unstable,
excessive,
corrupt, inexact, threatening—the intellectual history of <i>populism</i>
is,
to say the least, vexed. ‘Few terms have been so widely used in
contemporary
political analysis’, Ernesto Laclau famously observed, and ‘few
have been
defined with less precision’ (1977: 143). As populism has
increasingly become
‘the preserve of political scientists’ (Rovira Kaltwasser <i>et
al</i>., 2017:
10; Canovan, 1982), so too has its focus on political parties
and movements
become a default position in academic and popular thought. This
orientation,
today contested by many political scientists but nonetheless
widespread, has
the advantage of making populism visible, even measurable,
through its analysis
of speeches, polls, rallies, and electoral victories. At the
same time, the
narrow focus on parties and movements has created conceptual and
epistemological barriers that continue to impede the emergence
of new
perspectives—on, for instance, the relationship between media
and populism—that
fall outside of political scientific frameworks, confirming
Chantal Mouffe’s
(2005) assertion that political theory alone is not equipped to
answer
populism’s contemporary challenges, even at an analytical level.
Apart from the
difficulty of disembodying populism from parties and movements,
this approach
remains closely allied to rational-choice assumptions, failing
to embrace the <i>many</i>
affective and infrastructural dimensions that are constitutive
of the political
sphere. Overcoming these limitations has been, and still is, a
major challenge
to the study of populism. Responding to <i>Culture Machine</i>’s
call to open
up cultural and theoretical research beyond established
paradigms, this special
issue brings problems of media and mediation to bear on populist
phenomena and
debates.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span
style="font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times
New Roman";
color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Our point of departure
is the idea that
populism mediates, that is, it comes in between, channels or
interrupts the
ordinary operations of social and political life. However, in
order to
comprehend such processes, we need to take media and mediation
seriously. As we
argue in our companion essay, the prevailing approaches to
populist media in
political theory remain narrowly focused on what populists say
and do in the
media, as if the media was merely a container of information or
an ideology to
be debunked. In contrast, this special issue aims to bring media
studies into
conversation with debates in social and political theory, among
other fields,
and to explore the centrality of media, meant in a broader sense
than just
neutral channels for direct and unmediated exchange between
demagogues and
receptive audiences, for apprehending populism. In this respect,
the essays
collected in this issue move beyond the traditional scales and
objects of
populist research, placing questions of media and mediation
front and center.
Case studies range from zombies and pedagogy, video events and
affective
publics, counterfeit aesthetics and the internet ocean. Some of
our
contributors investigate forms of mediation that lend themselves
more clearly
to populist mobilizations. Others explore representations of the
people in
historically situated ‘new’ media. Others address the affective
dimensions of
populism as channeled through media aesthetics and platforms.
Taken together,
these interventions open up genealogical and multi-scalar
perspectives on
populism, while also speaking to the complexity of media
populist forms and
magnitudes, and their role in shaping contemporary political
imaginaries."</span></p>
