Comment
The seminar deals with the phenomenon of (transnational) right-wing populism in its various ideological orientations and media manifestations. Students first develop a comprehensive definition of populism that distinguishes right-wing from left-wing variants. Furthermore, theories of (hybrid) public spheres, media system and racism/sexism will be explored. From a communication studies perspective, questions of the (systemic) relationship between right-wing populism and journalism are then clarified, with the role of pop-cultural formats such as film, satire and internet memes also being discussed. A key focus lies on analyzing right-wing populism in digital media (actors, networks, platforms, narratives, strategies): In particular, audience-centered phenomena such as hate speech and echo chambers will be of interest. Students will study different cases of populist actors and their agendas (e.g. USA, Germany, UK, India, South America). Also, they will look at anti-pluralist ideologies that intersect with right-wing populist discourses: e.g. anti-feminism, anti-migrant racism, antisemitism, and anti-Muslim racism. In a final step, counterstrategies to modern right-wing populism will be analyzed (peace journalism, fact checking, civil society initiatives etc.) and their agendas, communicative strategies and chances of success evaluated.
