The Populism Reader

Edited by Lars Bang Larsen, Cristina Ricupero, Nicolaus Schafhausen


The anthology with essays covers various aspects and approaches to the phenomenon of populism. It includes contributions from activists, journalists, art critics, philosophers and political scientists. The essays go beyond academic style in order to respond to historical and current aspects of populism, in relation to art, activism, the role of the intellectual, political desires, religion and other issues. With a few exceptions, all the essays are new commissions.

Contributors: Marius Babias, Ina Blom, Anthony Davies, Lars Erik Frank/Mads Ted Drud-Jensen, Simon Frith, Brian Holmes, Ernesto Laclau, Dieter Lesage, Bart Lootsma, Chantal Mouffe, Vanessa Joan Müller, Iver B. Neumann, Ingo Niermann, Piotr Piotrowski, Pierre-André Taguieff, Niels Werber and Audrone Zukauskaite. With an introduction by the curators of the Populism exhibition.
