Interview of Paula Diehl 

“Populists know how to use the media”

In this interview for LatAm Journalism Review, Paula Diehl talks about the structural affinity between the populist communication of politicians like Donald Trump, Jair Bolsonaro and Javier Milei and the media’s selection criteria. The media become accomplices of populist actors, she argues, because populism generates public attention.

The Complexity of Populism – New Approaches and Methods

Much as populism has been researched, it remains a contested notion without coherent definition and methodology, and shaped by dimensions such as ideology, communication style, discourse, mobilization, and organization. It has simultaneously mobilized emotions, produced symbols, and affected subjectivity and gender relations and can manifest itself in different ways and appear in hybrid forms, such as in the cases of Silvio Berlusconi, Hugo Chávez, and Donald Trump.

With chapters by Paula Diehl, Carlos de la Torre, Birgit Sauer, Brigitte Bargetz, Stefan Bird-Pollan, Federico Finchelstein, Giorgia Bulli, Martin Reisigl, Mojca Pajnik, Till Weber.

Divers of Authoritarianism – Paths of Developments at the Beginning of the Twenty-first Century

There are serious threats to pluralistic societies and modern democracies. Authoritarian temptations have become increasingly visible. On the part of regimes, the mechanisms come to bear in statecraft, repression, and rhetoric; on the part of social movements, in agendas and strategies; and on the part of populations, in their patterns of thought, orientations to action, and readiness to follow. Who or which forces are driving authoritarian developmental thrusts: Are they social, economic or political crises, the controlling interests of finance capital or deficits in democracy?

With chapters by Brigitte Bargetz, Kai Biermann, Oliver Decker, Paula Diehl, Klaus Dörre, Nina Elena Eggers, Günter Frankenberg, Klaus Günther, Wilhelm Heitmeyer, Maximilian Pichl, Lars Rensmann, Dieter Rucht, Birgit Sauer, Bernd Stegemann, Natascha Strobl, Volker Weiß, Michael Zürn.

Projekt (Februar 2022 – Dezember 2023)

Normalizing the Far Right

Wie werden antidemokratische Ideen, Vorstellungen, Einstellungen, soziale Praktiken und darauf fußende Politik gesellschaftsfähig und wie wirken sie sich auf die Identitätsbildung aus? Gibt es gemeinsame Normalisierungsmechanismen, die alle diese Aspekte des gesellschaftlichen Lebens durchdringen? Sind sie in verschiedenen Bereichen von Politik und Gesellschaft wie politischer Kommunikation, Medien, Kultur, Recht, etc. in gleicher Weise präsent? Und welche Widerstandsstrategien gibt es gegen diese Normalisierung in Politik und Zivilgesellschaft?
