Imaginaries of enmity across the Taiwan Strait
This article reconsiders the Taiwan Strait conflict by encouraging a deeper exploration of the construction of sociopolitical imaginaries of enmity through editorial political cartoons. It does so, moreover, by emphasizing the need to attend to the triadic China-Taiwan-US relations, rather than just focusing on cross-Strait developments. Through this study, we focus on editorial political cartoons as visual schematic elements that aid in describi…
The Interaction between Global Privilege and the Discursive Construction of the ‘China Threat’ in the ‘New Cold War’
This article examines the relationship between privilege understood within a global frame and the discursive construction of the ‘China threat’ in the context of the ‘New Cold War’. Drawing on discourse theory and privilege studies, it investigates how the hegemonic discursive construction of China as a threat interacts with the material conditions of ‘global privilege’ in a diversity of spheres (political, military, economic, technological, cult…
Imaginaries of trauma and victimhood
This article speaks to an established interest of International Relations scholars in the construction of the ‘China threat’ in US political discourse. We advance recent works which have argued that the rise of China has contributed to the success of populism in the United States and Western liberal democracies more widely. Specifically, we transpose the concept of the ‘populism of the privileged’ to the international realm to understand how narr…
Populism of the Privileged
This article explores the use of populism by comparatively privileged groups, a specific type of populism we call the ‘populism of the privileged’. Our argument is not merely that ‘populisms of the privileged’ are also forms of populism, but that they warrant a specific label. We first identify intersections between populism and privilege on the levels of populist actors, support for populism and beneficiaries of populism, which we call populism …
Culture of Enmity
This book discusses how the operation of construction of the enemy articulates specific linguistic strategies and tactics.
When “the people” of populism is constructed by the relatively privileged
Who owns “democracy”? The role of populism in the discursive struggle over the signifier “democracy” in Catalonia and Spain
After the notoriety of the Catalan independence bid in the 2010s, the already extensive literature on Catalan nationalism has grown even further to offer multifarious explanations for the conflict over independence both within Catalonia and between Catalonia and Spain. This article draws on recent approaches incorporating populism – in its articulation with nationalism – as an essential theoretical and empirical tool to better describe the emerge…
The Pandemic and its Repercussions on Taiwan, its Identity, and Liberal Democracy
The situation generated by the pandemic has meant the acceleration of the ongoing hegemonic clash between the United States and China, as well as the intensification of the anti-China narrative and a deplorable wave of Sinophobia throughout the world. In this context, Taiwan has become a strategic hot spot for the development of the rhetoric of the enemy. This study analyses some of the direct consequences of the ensuing friend/foe discourses in …
Articulations of populism and nationalism
Despite the widespread conflation in Europe between populism and nationalism, the Catalan independence movement has commonly been approached as merely a case of nationalism but has been rarely studied by scholars in the field of populism. Drawing on discourse theory, this paper will explore the discursive sequences through which the actors forming the Catalan independence movement organized social relations and constituted their common identity. …
