Costruire il «popolo». Il contributo teorico di Ernesto Laclau e le prospettive dei populismi contemporanei
Populism is a relevant topic in current political debates and analysis. The global
financial and social crisis is fostering a reshaping of representative and liberal democracies.
Particularly in Europe, as a result of this crisis of democratic politics, various
authoritarian, xenophobic, radical and potentially violent movements, parties and
leaders, generally labelled as «populist», are springing up in several countries. Populism
is a complex and protean political phenomenon. Thus, using the label «populist
» just for authoritarian and anti-democratic tendencies does not allow us to grasp
all the various expressions of populism in contemporary politics, as well as the ambivalent
relationship between democracy and populism, grounded on the re-definition
of some key concepts for the democratic politics, like «people» and «popular sovereignty
». The authors of the article quest for the development of a non-evaluative
theoretical toolkit, in order to take into account all the different nuances, varieties
and ambivalences of the populist phenomenon emerging in the European political
landscapes. In this effort, Ernesto Laclau’s approach to populism is considered as a
substantial starting point. The article provides a critical assessment of Laclau’s approach,
synthetically describing its main features and arguments, and assessing them
with some of the main critics that, mainly within the post-Marxist field, have been
engaged in a fruitful debate with Laclau. Lately, the article provides a first sample of
the potential of the use of a laclausian approach to populism for the analysis of three
cases of social and political movements that have been emerging in Italy during the
last years, in order to outline a possible research agenda for the future: the «Five Star
Movement»; the movement against the high speed train in Val Susa, in the Piedmont
region; the movement in defence of water resources as «commons
Baschi o spagnoli? Valori politici e repertorio di azione dei giovani spagnoli presenti nel forum sociale europeo
The aim of the research paper consists of joining a specific analysis
of Basque condition to the case of “antiglobalist” social movement acting
at European level. The research plan describes the mutual contamination
between the “antiglobalist” repertoire of contentious values and the main
issues of ethnic-nationalist activism. Both “anti-globalist movement”
members and Basque militants use European Union as an additional
arena for the mobilisation of resources that may then be put in action
at the national level. Do they use a “not-violence” strategy or their
contentious actions concern violent attitudes like damaging and injuring?
To answer these questions the Authors have interviewed the European
components of the fourth European Social Forum held in Athens in April
2006, with a particular attention to Basque delegation
