Antipopulismo na Argentina e na Grécia: explorando o comum quanto a padrões, trajetórias e impacto nas minorias
Get PDFOur era is characterized by a significant conflict between populism and anti-populism, both politically and culturally. Populist groups and leaders often portray themselves as the true voices of the common people, gaining electoral support or even taking power by framing society as a battle between the ordinary people and the elite, challenging the political and economic establishment. Conversely, parties within the liberal political spectrum counteract the rise of populism by articulating a strong anti-populist discourse, sometimes successfully dominating the political arena. However, despite the increase in studies on populism, there are not many publications regarding anti-populism. This article seeks to examine the anti-populist discourse in Argentina and Greece, two countries with many similarities in political, economic, and cultural aspects. By analyzing the key ideas of anti-populist discourse, we aim to highlight the common anti-populist logic marked by typical paths of modernization, which not only opposes populism but also frequently disregards or opposes specific social groups, such as minorities.Our era is characterized by a significant conflict between populism and anti-populism, both politically and culturally.

Frequentemente, os grupos e líderes populistas se retratam como as verdadeiras vozes do povo, ganhando apoio eleitoral ou inclusive tomando o poder, enquadrando a sociedade em uma batalha entre o povo e a elite, desafiando o sistema político e econômico. Por outro lado, os partidos dentro do espectro político liberal neutralizam a ascensão do populismo articulando um forte discurso antipopulista, às vezes dominando com êxito a arena política. Apesar de os estudos sobre o populismo terem aumentado, não existem, porém, muitas publicações a respeito do antipopulismo. Este artigo procura examinar o discurso antipopulista na Argentina e na Grécia, dois países com muitas semelhanças nos aspectos políticos, econômicos e culturais. Ao analisar as ideias principais do discurso antipopulista, pretende-se destacar a lógica antipopulista comum marcada por caminhos típicos de modernização, que não só se opõe ao populismo, mas também frequentemente desconsidera ou se opõe a grupos sociais específicos, como as minorias
Is Populism Inherently Illiberal? Insights from Kirchnerism and SYRIZA in Power
Get PDFThis article delves into the academic discussion on the relationship between populism and liberal democracy, challenging the view that all populist movements, parties, and leaders are inherently illiberal. Drawing from a Laclauian perspective, which frames populism as an integral part of democratic politics that amplifies the voices of marginalized groups, we argue that populism can align with the principles of liberal democracy and/or does not necessarily lead to illiberal democracy or authoritarianism. Through the examination of left-wing populist cases in Argentina [Kirchnerism (2003-2015)] and Greece [SYRIZA (2015-2019)], we aim to demonstrate the inadequacy of approaches that understand populism as an inherently illiberal phenomenon, which often overlook the pluralistic and inclusive aspects of populism. Thus, we provide a response to this query: Is every populist case necessarily illiberal
Contemporary Southeastern Europe / The Rise of Inclusionary Populism in Europe: The Case of SYRIZA : Research Article
No full textIn recent years , and especially after the outbreak of the global financial crisis , right -wing and left -wing populist parties and movements have enjoyed significant political success in Europe . One of these parties is SYRIZA in Greece . In this paper , we explore some of the particular characteristics of the political discourse articulated by SYRIZA in power . The core argument of the paper is that the Greek radical left party continues to express an inclusionary populist discourse after its rise to power . We examine this issue by utilising the methodology of the Essex School of Discourse Analysis . Moreover , we attempt to substantiate the view that populism does not always have a negative connotation and is not deterministically associated with nationalism or racism . Furthermore , we try to establish whether the concept of "crypto -colonialism ” is an important key to understanding the rise of inclusionary populism to power in Greece . Finally , we analyse various manifestations of Greek anti -populism in order to highlight the danger that derives from this kind of stereotypical discourse

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
