Drawing on Ernesto Laclau’s theory of discourse, hegemony, and populism, this paper analyses the development of the discourses of Fidesz in Hungary and Law and Justice (PiS) in Poland from opposition to power with a focus on how authoritarianism is articulated, especially in relation to populism. The post-foundational discourse analysis finds that populism takes on an authoritarian expression only in certain discursive combinations, mostly with nationalism, while authoritarianism follows a range

This paper draws on Laclau’s theory of discourse, hegemony, and populism to analyse competing forms of populism in the Czech Republic within the discursive context of ‘post-November transformation’ as well as in relation to hegemonic struggles over the construction of social order. It is argued that the discourses of Public Affairs (VV), ANO, Dawn of Direct Democracy, and Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) all feature a populist opposition between the ‘people’ or ‘citizens’ on the one hand and ‘

Abstract This paper seeks to draw on the tools of Ernesto Laclau’s theory of discourse, hegemony and populism as well as recent Essex School work on populism to examine the discourse of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and, in the process, come closer to a more systematic understanding of nature and limits of right-wing populism as well as the interplay and distinction between populist and non-populist discursive logics more generally. The paper situates itself in the context of existing Essex

본고에서는 서구 중심에서 바라보는 한국 문학의 인식의 몇 가지 양상을 중심으로 조선과 한국 문학에 대한 인식 태도를 살펴보고자 한다. 본고에서 분석의 대상으로 삼는 저서들은 ‘당시의 문학을 번역’한 부류에 속한다. 특히 Allen의 "Korean Tales : Being a collection of stories translated from the Korean folk lore"(1889), Hulbert의 "Omjee The Wizard-Korean Folk Stories"(1925)를 논의의 중심으로 삼는다. 또한 Aston과 Hulbert가 한국 문학에 대해 비평한 'On Corean popular literature'(1890)와 "The Passing of Korea"(1906)도 분석의 대상으로 삼는다. 결론을 먼저 밝히면, Allen의 "Korean Tales"는 서양에 처음 소개되는 작품집으로서의 번역 태도를 드러내고 있으며, Aston은 한글 소설 수집을 통해 한글

This article sets out to examine two claims that have increasingly come to define the dividing lines between the ideational and the post-foundational discursive approaches to populism: namely, that the former is moralistic and the latter is normative in orientation. The article considers the conceptual merits of both critiques while using them to further examine some of the implicit assumptions and pitfalls within Cas Mudde’s and Ernesto Laclau’s paradigmatic conceptualizations of populism. It i

This paper sets out to think the relationship between horizontality and verticality from the perspective of post-foundational discourse theory, taking as a starting point the diachronic development from Laclau’s and Mouffe’s joint work on radical democracy to Laclau’s theory of populism. The argument here is that the shift in conceptual terrain from the autonomy of ‘democratic struggles’ to the representative function of ‘empty’ popular signifiers points to deeper shifts and slippages – especial

This paper examines three attempts to build ‘party unions’ of the far right in Western Europe: the Vlaams Belang’s creation of its own trade union organization in 2011, which folded after failing to develop a meaningful membership base; the Front National’s creation of its own sectoral trade unions in the mid-1990s, which were disbanded following a series of court rulings; and the distinctive case of Zentrum Automobil as a pre-existing sector-specific workplace group with far-right roots founded

본고는 고려대학교 육당문고에 소장된 조선광문회본 고소설 중에서 검열된 흔적이 남아있는 자료를 대상으로 논의를 진행한다. 일제강점기에 출판된 모든 출판물들은 검열을 받아야 했다. 검열의 대상에는 예외가 없다. 따라서 고소설도 또한 검열의 대상이었음은 분명하다. 하지만 고소설 자체가 지니고 있는 성격 때문에 일제시대에 출판된 고소설들을 연구함에 있어서 ‘검열’이라는 시대적 상황은 크게 염두에 두지 않는 듯하다. 그것은 검열의 존재는 당연히 존재하고 있지만 그것의 영향력이 작품 자체에 크게 미치지 않을 것이라고 판단했기 때문일 것이다. 실제로 고전소설을 대상으로 진행한 검열 결과에서, 검열을 통과하지 못한 자료를 찾을 수는 없다. 또한 검열과 관련된 내용을 포함하고 있는 자료도 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 일제시대에 활자본으로 출판된 고소설들은 대체로 전대의 관습을 충실히 반영해 매체만 바꾸어 출판한 것들이다. 조선광문회본 고소설은 목판본인데, 표지에는 일제의 검열을 통과했다는 표식이 남아있

Abstract In taking stock of the ruling Fidesz party's project of ‘illiberal democracy’ in Hungary, this article first develops considerations based on Claude Lefort's democratic theory for critiquing ‘illiberal democracy’ and post‐democracy alike, situating the former in an early 2010s post‐democratic moment characterised by the emergence of a neoliberal crisis management regime in the Eurozone. ‘Illiberal democracy’ and ‘market‐conforming democracy’ are both problematic from this standpoint ins

Abstract This paper examines varieties of anti-populist party politics from left to right that emerged against the backdrop of the much-discussed “populist moment” of the mid- to late 2010s in Europe. Situating the analysis in the special issue’s interest in an “anti-populist moment” that discursively co-constituted this “populist moment,” the paper keys in on the anti-populist campaign discourses of three political parties that took centre stage in the 2017 national parliamentary elections in t
