Desire to Meet
This article demonstrates how public dialogue on the term ‘second/third-generation migrant’, currently used within European Union integration policies, create barriers to transcultural dialogue and democratic participation within Europe. Drawing on 75 semi-structured interviews within Dublin, Düsseldorf, Glasgow, London and Stockholm, our dialogical analysis shows how public dialogue articulates three dimensions of developmental psychology foregr…
Introducing a novel method to support polarized citizens to sustain political dialogue
This article offers a novel quasi‐experimental method over two studies for exploring how individuals can navigate politically polarizing discussions to sustain dialogue. Study one (N = 28) involved in‐person, stimulus‐led interviews in England and Scotland to understand the dialogical political positions being adopted on the UK's post‐Brexit European relationships. Study two (N = 10) created quasi‐experimental participant pairings on shared polit…
I’ll never forget
The political mobilisation of nostalgia is increasingly preoccupying social and political psychologists. A key concern is with rising populism and the use of an imagined golden past to foster threat through anti-EU and anti-immigrant sentiment. This article introduces two key concepts, anemoia – imagining a past not experienced – and prolepsis – how the past influences actions in the present aligned to future goals – to argue that actual recall o…
Multilateralism under Fire
How do global multilateral arrangements such as the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO), vital to post-pandemic recovery, connect to the public understanding of multilateralism? The Citizen Worldview Mapping Project (CWMP) conducted in England, Scotland and Sweden examines how the degree of migration–mobility interacts with worldviews. CWMP asked participants (N = 24) to rule the world using an online interactive world mapping…
Everyday Narratives of Resistance and Reconfigurations of Political Protest after the Pandemic-Editors' Introduction
Perhaps one of the most demanding challenges of the arrival of the COVID-19 crisis in early 2020 was the extent to which it arrived on top of a series of existing global crises
No Obvious Home
Populism versus the people
Can understanding social representations of home unpack the central empty signifier of populism—the “true people”? Nationalist exclusionary forms of populism use home, birthplace, and born and bred narratives to frame sections of the population as Other. “Go Home” vans in the United Kingdom, Donald Trump's use of birther rhetoric during his previous presidential candidacy and the Sweden Democrats mobilization of folkhemmet (people's home) to ques…
Reification and the refugee
Thousands of individuals each year seek refugee status and the question of who can be accepted requires politicians within democracies to seek a public mandate. Unlike other socio-political categories individuals cannot self-identify as refugee; the category must be bureaucratically conferred. Therefore sustained humanitarian public concern is vital to the acceptance of refugees. This article sets parameters on this public concern. It examines ho…
From Polarized We/They Public Opinion on European Integration Towards Social Representations of Public Dialogue
Social psychology has established that oppositional we/they categorization is central to dis/identification with European integration (Chryssochoou, 2000; Hewstone, 1986; Mummendey & Walduz, 2004). As Europe faces fresh uncertainties, for example, Brexit, this article reveals the multipositional features of public‐opinion formation. Drawing on meta‐representational approaches, it reveals how we/they categorization moves from oppositional forms to…
Public narratives on human mobility
This article articulates a one‐world narrative, which reconfigures human mobility in dialogical response to the ideational borders of the European Union. Fifty‐two semi‐structured interviews, in Scotland and Sweden, bring participants, ranging from people with refugee status to the generationally nonmobile, into dialogue with the integration ideals of the European Union. Within this ideational space, participants employ I ‐positional dialogical c…
