Funded Activity Summary

The visual politics of populism. This project aims to investigate the visual politics of populism across the globe. Against a backdrop of unprecedented success of populists worldwide, the project will use six international case studies to comparatively examine how populists use visual media, how visual media covers populists, and the audience effects of these practices. Expected outcomes include enhanced insight into the linkages between populism, visual legitimacy and democracy, and a deeper understanding of contemporary populism’s appeal. This project expects to inform how mainstream parties and civil society groups can better deal with populists, as well as informing best practice on how media can cover populists.
