Religious ethno-populism in contemporary Greece: Analysing the discourse of the Níki party
This article examines the ideological foundations and discursive strategies of Níki, Greece’s first distinctly faith-based party. Using the Essex School approach to discourse studies, it examines Níki’s social conservatism, foreign policy, migration stance and media reception. The party constructs a type of political identity rooted in Eastern Orthodoxy, cultural essentialism and the defence of a threatened spiritual heritage. Its discourse is et…
Populism, Populism Research, and Their Discontents: Strategies of Interpretation from a Psychosocial Perspective
Populism—both as a social/political phenomenon and as a label, slogan, and symbolic designation/invocation attributed to particular patterns of political activity—seems to have dominated public debates (political, mediatic, and academic) within the past few decades. This has generated plenty of material and facilitated significant advances in the field of populism research. This paper starts by registering some of these advances in terms of conce…
A populist version of religious rigorism in contemporary Greece? The case of the Níki party
Discourse theory and the turn to practice: Lessons from the populist moment
This introductory article to the special issue on Discourse Theory and the Turn to Practice, takes the questions and tensions identified through the intensive study of populism as starting point for reflections on Discourse Theory as a framework for the study of political practice more broadly. Its aims are partly organizational and partly agenda-setting. Organizationally, it draws together major discussions and developments in Discourse Theory o…
Bound to fail? Assessing contemporary left populism
It has been more than ten years since the first signs indicating the contemporary (re)emergence of left populism were observed: the proto-populist movements of "the squares" such as the Indignados in Spain, Aganaktismenoi in Greece, the Occupy Movement in the United States, and the various uprisings of "the Arab Spring." A variety of political formations succeeded them, channeling their energy onto electoral representation with mixed results—such…
Sobre Deconstrucción, Teoría del Discurso y Psicoanálisis: Dentro, Afuera y “Nuevo(s)” Materialismo(s). Una conversación con Yannis Stavrakakis
En junio de 2022 invitamos a Yannis Stavrakakis a conversar sobre el estado actual de la teoría posestructuralista a partir de revisar la obra de Jacques Derrida a través del lente del psicoanálisis lacaniano y su vinculación con la teoría política. La entrevista se realizó a través de video llamada y fue grabada para su posterior transcripción. Le hicimos llegar las preguntas al profesor Stavrakakis, para luego realizar la entrevista de manera v…
Populist performance(s) in contemporary Greek rap music
In recent years, rap music has been growing rapidly within the Greek cultural landscape. This paper places emphasis on a particular politicised current within the genre, examining closely two recent examples from the Greek context. Although such performances have already been broadly discussed as 'populist' within public debate, this paper aims at rigorously assessing this claim. To do so, it first turns to contemporary populism research in order…

Moving discourse theory forward: A five-track proposal for future research
This article assesses the current state of play of the poststructuralist and post-Marxist discourse theory associated with Laclau and Mouffe and the ‘Essex school’, and identifies ways forward at the level of theory development, research practice and critique. The article starts by disentangling the different meanings of the notion of ‘discourse’ in ‘discourse theory’, clarifying the specificities of discourse theory as a theoretical and analytic…
The (discursive) limits of (left) populism
As far as the study of (left) populism is concerned, Political Discourse Theory has been largely associated with a novel and challenging take on populist politics, first emerging in Laclau’s work in the 1970s and preoccupying Laclau, Mouffe and their co-travellers continuously since then. What has not been adequately articulated yet is what would be the limits of (left) populism as a political strategy from a discursive perspective. This short pa…
An introduction to the special issue on ‘Discourse Theory: Ways forward for theory development and research practice
This article introduces the special issue of the Journal of Language and Politics on ‘Discourse Theory: Ways forward for theory development and research practice.’ In this introduction we discuss the aims and structure of this special issue focused on the development of the poststructuralist and post-Marxist discourse theory originally developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe
How should we analyze the connections between populism and nationalism: A response to Rogers Brubaker
In a recent article in this journal, Rogers Brubaker formulates a critique of the distinction we make in our work between populism and nationalism, and further develops his own, thicker conceptualization of populism, which integrates the nationalist dimension without however totally conflating populism and nationalism. In this article, we briefly respond to the critique of our work, further clarifying and refining our plea for clearly distinct co…
The Potentials and Difficulties of Transnational Populism: The Case of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25)
The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), launched by former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, seeks to construct a transnational left political project to ‘democratise Europe’. Its construction of a European ‘people’ against an international elite raises questions about the potentials of populism beyond the nation-state. Building on a discourse-theoretical distinction between populism and nationalism, the article asks whether DiEM25…
Routledge Handbook of Pyschoanalytical Political Theory
The emerging field of 'psychoanalytic political theory' has now reached a stage in its development and rapid evolution that deserves to be registered, systematically defined and critically evaluated. This Handbook provides the first reference volume which showcases the current state of psychoanalytic political theory, maps the genealogy of its development, identifies its conceptual and methodological resources and highlights its analytical innova…
Dynamics of Polarization in the Greek Case
This article focuses on the dynamics of polarization emerging within Greek political culture in the postauthoritarian setting. Following a brief historical framing, we trace Left-Right polarization between the two major parties of the period: Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) and New Democracy (ND). The party-based polarization of PASOK/ND was arguably the main axis of political antagonism in Greece from the 1970s until the end of the 2000s.…
Introduction: Populist discourses and political communication in Southern Europe
This article provides the contextual background to the symposium on Populist Discourses and Political Communication in Southern Europe . It explains the symposium’s objectives and introduces the rationale of its articles on Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Within this context, the editors also highlight the specific conditions for the emergence of typical forms of Southern European populism, as well as its distinctive features, focusing on the …

Paradoxes of Polarization: Democracy's Inherent Division and the (Anti-) Populist Challenge
This article carries out a theoretical analysis of the relationship between democracy and polarization. It utilizes examples from a variety of premodern and modern societies to argue that difference and division are inherent to a vibrant democratic life and to representation itself. At the same time, a stable and pluralist democratic culture presupposes the establishment of a common ground required for reflexive democratic decision making. To tak…
Accomplishments and limitations of the 'new' mainstream in contemporary populism studies
Two recent books on populism represent more than any other the new mainstream in populism studies. Through a reconstruction of the main arguments advanced by Jan-Werner Müller, on the one hand, and Cas Mudde and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser, on the other, this article aims to highlight both the significant accomplishments as well as the main limitations of this orientation. Special attention is given to the way in which the two projects deal with …
Populism and Hegemony
How can theories of hegemony advance our understanding of populism? Against the background of Gramsci’s work, this chapter draws on Laclau, Mouffe, and other theoretical resources in order to illuminate what shapes and animates populist discourse, what overdetermines its hegemonic potential. We focus on populist articulatory practices as political interventions operating within a broader socio-symbolic as well as psycho-social terrain that both f…
Distinctions and Articulations: A Discourse Theoretical Framework for the Study of Populism and Nationalism
The close empirical connections between populism and nationalism have naturalised a rather misleading overlap between the concepts of populism and nationalism in academic and public debates. As a result, the relation between the two has not received much systematic attention. Drawing on the poststructuralist discourse theory originally formulated by Laclau and Mouffe, this article differentially identifies populism and nationalism as distinct way…
Extreme right-wing populism in Europe: Revisiting a reified association
Revisiting the trend of identifying populism with extreme right parties, in this paper we aim to problematize such associations within the context of today’s Europe. Drawing on examples from relevant parties in France and the Netherlands, and applying a discourse-theoretical methodology, we test the hypothesis that such parties are better categorized primarily as nationalist and only secondarily – and reluctantly – as ‘populist’. Our hypothesis f…
The populism/anti-populism frontier and its mediation in crisis-ridden Greece: From discursive divide to emerging cleavage
Along with other South-European countries, since 2008, Greece has experienced deep economic and social dislocation, leading to a crisis of representation and triggering populist mobilisations and anti-populist reactions. This article focuses on the antagonistic language games developed around populist representations, something that has not attracted much attention in the relevant literature. Highlighting the need to study anti-populism together …
European Populist Parties in Government: How Well are Voters Represented? Evidence from Greece
In this paper we focus on the two populist parties, one radical left and one radical right, that have formed a coalition government after the January 2015 elections in Greece: SYRIZA and Independent Greeks (ANEL). Using data from the Greek Candidate Study 2015 and the Greek Voter Study 2015 we study the congruence between party voters and party elites for these two parties, also comparing them with mainstream, non‐populist parties. Employing a sl…
Discourse theory in populism research: Three challenges and a dilemma
Populism’ constitutes one of the most hotly debated topics in contemporary politics and academia. The concept is used to describe a series of heterogeneous phenomena: on the one hand, Donald Trump, BREXIT supporters and the European Far Right in government or in opposition; on the other, Bernie Sanders, the so-called Pink Tide of left-wing populist governments in Latin America and inclusionary populisms in the European South. Recent developments …
Left-wing populism in the European periphery: The case of Syriza
Due to its electoral performance in the 2012 general elections, SYRIZA, a previously unknown Greek political formation of the radical left, gained unprecedented visibility within the European public sphere. How is this strong showing and the political message articulated by SYRIZA to be interpreted? Utilizing a discursive methodology, this paper puts to the test the two assumptions predominating in most available analyses, namely that SYRIZA arti…

The Return of “the People: Populism and Anti‐Populism in the Shadow of the European Crisis
Antinomies of formalism: Laclau's theory of populism and the lessons from religious populism in Greece
This paper will first follow the trajectory of Ernesto Laclau's theorizations of populism from his early work in the 1970s up until his current views. While Laclau's formal approach to populist discourse constitutes a substantial advance in the theorization of this elusive concept, it will be argued that his recent reflections on populism may be construed as indicative of the limits of a 'formalist' approach. These antinomies of 'formalism' will …

Green ideology: A discursive reading
How is Green ideology structured? What differentiates it from other ideologies that include 'Green' components? Does it really constitute a new ideological articulation or not? These are some of the still unresolved questions that this article attempts to explore.

The Lacanian Left: Psychoanalysis, Theory, Politics
In recent years psychoanalysis – especially Lacanian theory – has been gradually acknowledged as a vital resource in the ongoing re-orientation of contemporary political theory and analysis. Of particular note is that the work of Jacques Lacan is increasingly being used by major political philosophers associated with the Left. This indicates the dynamic emergence of a new theoretico-political horizon: that of the ‘Lacanian Left’. The Lacanian Lef…
Contemporary Left-wing Populism in Latin America: Leadership, Horizontalism, and Postdemocracy in Chávez's Venezuela
Critical engagement with the case ofChavismoin Venezuela can offer valuable insights for a fuller understanding of contemporary populism in Latin America. While for some scholars Chávez's populism has fostered popular empowerment, others dwell on the newly confirmed tensions between populism, liberal rights, and democratic proceduralism. This article embraces both positions but moves beyond their one-sidedness to castChavistapopulism as an inhere…

Religious Populism and Political Culture: The Greek Case
The article examines how the relationship between religion and politics is played out in the case of contemporary Greece. In particular the aim is to describe and account for the recent politicization of Orthodox Christian discourse, following the decision of the Greek government to exclude reference to religion from identity cards. This issue dominated the public sphere in 2000-1. The analysis mainly focuses on the populist character of the disc…

The radical act: Towards a spatial critique
What if the dominance of the spatial metaphor in political reasoning and imagination risks an ultimately anti-political structuration of the field, leaving no space for acts that re-shape relations of power and to power? This tendency can explain the movement away from space towards an appreciation and prioritization of temporality in contemporary political theory. And yet, as Žižek’s fetishization of the ‘radical act’ as pure temporality reveals…
Ambiguous democracy and the ethics of psychoanalysis
It is one of the paradoxes of our age that the 'success' of democracy in Eastern Europe and South Africa is coupled with grave disappointment in the 'birth places' of modern democracy. This dis appointment is partly due to the irreducible ambiguity entailed in democratic institutional arrangements. Democracy, in fact, is founded on this ambiguity. It attempts to construct social unity on the basis of recognizing the lack around which the social f…

Wallon, Lacan and the Lacanians: Citation Practices and Repression
In a recent article published in Theory, Culture & Society Michael Billig proposed a formal, rhetorical method of evaluating Lacanian theory, applying it in a critical reading of Lacan's early work on the 'mirror stage'. What is crucially at stake in this reading is Lacan's citation practices: indeed, Lacan is credited with significant omissions. Central among them is the 'repression' of the work of the French psychologist Henri Wallon in Lacan's…
Peripheral Vision: Subjectivity and the Organized Other: Between Symbolic Authority and Fantasmatic Enjoyment
Psychoanalysis, and especially the work of Jacques Lacan, has not been adequately utilized within organization studies. This paper argues that Lacan's teaching has the potential to enrich discussions within this field and to suggest fruitful orientations for future research. Analysing some of the central concepts and theoretical logics introduced by Lacan (such as lack, desire, the symbolic, enjoyment and fantasy), it explores the desire behind i…

Challenges of Re-politicisation: Mouffe's Agonism and Artistic Practices
The relation between politics and art is increasingly debated within contemporary political philosophy and critical theory. This article focuses on Chantal Mouffe's negotiation of this relation, which forms an integral part of her agonistic pluralist project. In particular, it aims at critically exploring the role of artistic practices in re-politicising a largely de-politicised, post-democratic public space. What are the challenges such a re-pol…

Peuple, populisme et anti-populisme: Le Discours Politique Grec À l'Ombre De La Crise Européenne
Populism is back on the agenda. Against the background of traditional populist mobilisations, the last few decades have been marked by an international resurgence of populist phenomena. However the complex language games and political realignments which have developed around "populism" in the context of the global financial crisis add a further complication to the picture. This is particularly the case in Europe, where the crisis has not so far l…
