Visuality and the Populist Appeal

24th Käte Hamburger Dialogue


Thursday, 5th May 2022 (18:00-19:30, CEST) | Webinar

 

What images are used by right-wing populists to tell their stories about the struggle of a pure people against a corrupt global elite? What (pop-)cultural repertoires do they tap into to create resonance with their target audience? Which narrative and visual strategies do right-wing populists use to make their own nationalist or imperial visions of world order appealing? With a view to the commonalities and specificities of right-wing populist cultural repertoires, the roundtable also aimed at including those geographical areas and protagonists that are underrepresented in current research and media coverage.
