The Politics of Authenticity and Populist Discourses : Media and Education in Brazil, India and Ukraine Paperback / softback
Edited by Christoph Kohl, Barbara Christophe, Heike Liebau, Achim Saupe
Part of the Global Political Sociology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This edited volume breaks new ground and opens up new perspectives by capturing the role played by claims to authenticity in populist discourses in Brazil, India and Ukraine.
By conceiving of both triumphant populism and increasing demands for authenticity as expressions of crisis, the volume seeks to satisfy the need to take a closer look at yearnings for orientation in a globalised world that is often associated with rapid social change and the disappearance of old certainties.
Starting from the assumption that media play a crucial role for populist discourses of authenticity, the volume moves beyond conventional and social media by expanding its focus to media in formal education, notably school textbooks and curricula.
These two particular media formats lastingly shape younger generations and thus the future.
The proposed volume adopts global perspectives from three postcolonial countries that are often beyond the scope of studies dealing with populist discourses and media entanglements – insights that contribute new aspects to international scholarly debates.
