Resentment, nostalgia and the underpinnings of a populist worldview
Populism is now a constant in European politics, yet its underpinnings remain disputed. Socio-structural explanations are increasingly complicated by resentment and nostalgia. Studies often examine each notion in isolation and rely on implicit or over-simplified parameters, which fail to account for their differential impact on populism's constituent components. Adding nuance to this debate, we propose multi-dimensional conceptualisations of rese…
Conspiracy blaming in the aftermath of group relative deprivation: The moderating role of national narcissism
Conspiracy beliefs entail a scapegoating function by attributing the consequences of crises, such as economic downturns, to the secret action of outgroups. While conspiracy beliefs have been described as reactions to economic threats, we argue that this factor alone is not sufficient. Rather, perceiving one's ingroup as unfairly deprived compared to other groups (i.e., group relative deprivation) might be key to explaining the situation in terms …
Three-Pronged Resentment: How Status Insecurity, Relative Deprivation, and Powerlessness Mediate Between Social Positions and Populist Attitudes
Populist attitudes are frequently tied to a specific social position, namely the constituent's status as a "loser of globalization." Adding nuance to this explanatory framework, we investigate whether and how resentment mediates between social positions and populist attitudes. We distinguish three constitutive components of resentment-status insecurity, relative deprivation, and powerlessness-and analyze to what extent these sentiments explain th…
Can a colonial flag become a banner for democracy? The Case of the Dragon and Lion flag and the 2019 Hong Kong protests
Why did Hong Kong protestors choose a symbol of former oppression - the old colonial flag - as a banner for their fight for democracy, rights and autonomy in 2019? We propose to answer this puzzle by studying the colonial-era flag as a displacement device. The waving of the colonial-era flag is shown to induce non-linear temporal and extraterritorial displacements, as well as contradictory interpretations of Hong Kong's core values, national sove…
Politics with objects? On the affective materiality of contentious politics
How does material culture shape contentious politics? Things, we argue, influence political contention in ways that are reducible neither to struggles over meaning nor to the thingly aspect of things. The article combines pragmatic semiotics with insights on ritual practice and collective experience. By bringing together three often separate literatures - contentious politics, material culture, and affect - we suggest a thicker understanding of a…
Resentment and populist attitudes among Turkish and Moroccan Belgians
This article investigates the determinants of populist attitudes among ethnic minorities. It breaks with conventional studies of the so-called losers of globalization, which focus almost exclusively on the majority population. Minorities were not spared by the economic and cultural displacements of late modernity and often suffer structural disadvantages vis-à-vis the majority population. Displacement and discrimination threaten the social positi…
Populist things. A study on the materiality of political ideas
Is there such thing as a populist thing? This article tries to answer this question by comparing two iconic populist objects: the Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap and the yellow vest. Despite their centrality to populist politics, there is remarkably little systematic examination of these objects' populist affordances, let alone a comparative study. We propose to address this lacuna by performing a pragmatic analysis of each object's role in t…
Decisiveness as a logic of political action
The resentful undergrowth of nostalgia: Ontological insecurity, relative deprivation and powerlessness
This article untangles competing conceptualisations of nostalgia and identifies a specific form of collective-restorative nostalgia as politically significant. We argue that the link between resentment and this type of nostalgia emerges from their joint critique of the socio-political realities of the present. Nostalgia provides spatial and temporal orientations for a group's experiences of resentment through highly selective recollections of the…
Antidemocratic populism in power: Comparing Erdoğan’s Turkey with Modi’s India and Netanyahu’s Israel
By the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century, populists have taken charge in Turkey, India and Israel, all previously heralded as exceptional democracies in difficult regions. This moment offers a unique opportunity to explore populism in power outside Europe and the Americas, in three states shaped by deep social, ethnic and religious divisions. This article locates Turkey, India and Israel within a global wave of electorally succ…
Antidemocratic Populism in Turkey after the July 2016 Coup Attempt
President Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party ( AKP ) fundamentally transformed the Turkish political realm: The AKP was elected in 2002 on promises of economic liberalisation and accession to the European Union (EU). Over sixteen years it steered Turkey from being perceived as a “model” western-style democracy to autocracy. Instrumental for this transformation was Erdogan’s use of a new form of right-wing, religiously legitimated popul…
