Media and the Spirit of Populism explores the role of the contemporary media in the formation, dissemination and circulation of the spirit of populism (DeHanas, 2024). These cutting-edge contributions to the field, written by an interdisciplinary range of contributors from across the world, cover key topics including:New Religious NationalismsThe Spirit of Populism in Virtual RealityApocalyptic Populism in 2024 Trump CampaignTruth, The Self and AgencyThe Rise of Charismatic Populist LeadersThis book maintains that the idea of the “spirit of populism” helps to illuminate the aspects of societal and political life that extend beyond the grasp of political science or sociological analysis of populism. By exploring dimensions of the spirit of populism, the book sheds light to these elusive aspects of political life; the shared sense of deeper truth, a true reality, some kind of transcendent dimension and a sense of sacredness that has a transformational potential towards ideas of belonging/exclusion and can motivate political engagement and participation.This engaging volume will be an essential read for those within the field of media and communication studies, religious studies, sociology, political science, feminist scholarship and Critical Cultural Studies.
