        Critical theory and demagogic populism

        by Paul K. Jones, Darrow Schecter

        Populism is a powerful force today, but its full scope has eluded the analytical tools of both orthodox and heterodox 'populism studies'. This book provides a valuable alternative perspective. It reconstructs in detail for the first time the sociological analyses of US demagogues by members of the Frankfurt School and compares these with contemporary approaches. Modern demagogy emerges as a key under-researched feature of populism, since populist movements, whether 'left' or 'right', are highly susceptible to 'demagogic capture'. The book also details the culture industry's populist contradictions - including its role as an incubator of modern demagogues - from the 1930s through to today's social media and 'Trumpian psychotechnics'. Featuring a previously unpublished text by Adorno on modern demagogy as an appendix, it will be of interest to everyone concerned about the rise of demagogic populism today.

        Faschisierung

        Fluchtlinie des Digitalen

        by Simon Strick

        Die Funktion einer Maschine ist, was sie tut. Die digitale Maschine spuckt seit über 20 Jahren regelmäßig und formelhaft Faschismen und Radikalisierung aus. Trumpisierung und Extremismus gewinnen, begegnen möchte man ihnen mit Faktenchecks und Medienkompetenz. Naives Denken, sagt Simon Strick, denn Faschisierung ist eine Grundtendenz digitaler Medien. Rechtspopulismus und Internet entstanden nicht nur zeitgleich, sie arbeiten mit verwandten Formeln und haben die Öffentlichkeit zum Reaktionären hin transformiert. In seiner so luziden wie materialreichen Analyse kommt der Medienwissenschaftler mit Leo Löwenthal zu dem Fazit: Der demokratische Diskurs befindet sich unvorbereitet und hilflos auf der Fluchtlinie der Faschisierung. Ein Umdenken ist nötig.
