  • On Trumpism, Or the End of American Exceptionalism
    Teoria politica 9 | 2019 Annali IX On Trumpism, or the End of American Exceptionalism Nadia Urbinati Electronic version URL: http://journals.openedition.org/tp/820 Publisher Marcial Pons Printed version Date of publication: 1 June 2019 Number of pages: 209-226 ISSN: 0394-1248 Electronic reference Nadia Urbinati, « On Trumpism, or the End of American Exceptionalism », Teoria politica. Nuova serie Annali [Online], 9 | 2019, Online since 01 April 2020, connection on 26 May 2020. URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/tp/820 Teoria politica On Trumpism, or the End of American Exceptionalism Nadia Urbinati* Abstract This papers uses Trumpism to illustrate populism in power. It analyses it in its rhetorical style; in its propaganda, tropes, and ideology; and finally in its aims and achievements. It shows how the representative construction of the people is rhetorical and is independent of social classes and traditional ideologies. The paper argues that populist democracy is the name of a new form of representative government that is based on two phenomena: a direct relation between the leader and those in society whom the leader defines as the «right» or «good» people; and the superlative authority of the audience. Its immediate targets are the «obstacles» to the development of those phenomena: intermediary opinion-making bodies, such as parties; established media; and institutionalized systems for monitoring and controlling political power. Populist leaders compete with other political actors with regard to the representation of the people and use electoral victory in order to prove that «the people» they represent is the «right» people and deserves to rule for its own good.

  • Populists in Power Around the World | Institute for Global Change
    Populists in Power Around the World JORDAN KYLE RENEWING LIMOR GULTCHIN THE CENTRE Contents Executive Summary 3 Introduction 5 The Trouble With Defining opulismP 9 Two Essential Features of Populism 12 Types of Populism 21 Cases of Populism in Power 26 Populism Trends Around the World 32 Conclusion 44 Appendix: Methodology 45 Downloaded from http://institute.global/insight/ renewing-centre/populists-power-around-world on November 7 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXE CUTIVE SUMMARY Populism is dramatically shifting the global political landscape. This report defines populism and identifies its global prevalence by introducing a global database “Populists in Power: 1990–2018”. Only with a clear and systematic understanding of the phenomenon of populism can political leaders begin to offer meaningful and credible alternatives. This report sets out to define populism from a global perspective and identify some of its key trends since 1990. Populism contains two primary claims: • A country’s ‘true people’ are locked into conflict with outsiders, including establishment elites. • Nothing should constrain the will of the true people. Although populism always shares these two essential claims, it can take on widely varying forms across contexts. This report identifies three types of populism, distinguished by how populist leaders frame the conflict between the ‘true people’ and outsiders: • Cultural populism claims that the true people are the native members of the nation-state, and outsiders can include immigrants, criminals, ethnic and religious minorities, and cosmopolitan elites. Cultural populism tends to emphasise 3 religious traditionalism, law and order, sovereignty, and painting migrants as enemies. • Socio-economic populism claims that the true people are honest, hard-working members of the working class, and outsiders can include big business, capital owners and actors perceived as propping up an international capitalist system.

  • Tres Cuentos En El Inicio Del Intercambio España - Japón
    MONOGRÁFICO Mirai. Estudios Japoneses ISSN-e: 2531-145X https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mira.63248 Tres cuentos en el inicio del intercambio España - Japón. Kayoko Takagi Takanashi1 Recibido: 15 de febrero de 2019 / Aceptado: 15 de abril de 2019 Resumen. Juan Valera, uno de los escritores más destacados de la literatura española del siglo XIX, tradujo y publicó dos cuentos japoneses en 1887: El Pescadorcito Urashima (浦島太郎) y El espejo de Matsuyama (松山鏡), dos cuentos sobradamente conocidos en Japón. Si Urashima Tarō tiene su antecedente ya en Nihonshoki, Matsuyama kagami es de origen budista y pasó a Japón convirtién- dose en un cuento popular de la región de Echigo (actual prefectura de Niigata). Del último, existen versiones en el teatro noh, kyōgen, y rakugo. Por otro lado, el cuento del Ratón Pérez del que ningún niño español podría ser ignorante, se publicó en 1911 en España y se tradujo al japonés en 1953 por la editorial Iwanami. El desfase temporal que separa estas publicaciones indica varios factores históricos que atravesaron los dos países durante este período. Aunque se trata de un campo poco reconocido hasta ahora, hemos de admitir el hecho de que el poder de comunicación de la literatura infantil es altamente significativo cuando hablamos de la cognición temprana de imágenes del mundo. Este trabajo estudiará los elementos que han inspirado a Valera para realizar la traducción de dichos cuentos al español al igual que el caso del cuento español en el terreno japonés. Al mismo tiempo observaremos la recepción y la valoración de estas publicaciones en ambos países.

  • The Oral Literature of the Tea Garden Folk: Songs and Jatras
    CHAPTER 5 THE ORAL LITERATURE OF THE TEA GARDEN FOLK: SONGS AND JATRAS This chapter analyses other two components of the oral literature of the tea garden folk in Barak Valley. The components such as proverbs, riddles, tongue twisters and narratives have been discussed in the preceding chapter. Folk Songs Folk songs are spontaneous and most appealing form of folk literature. Songs are essential part of rituals, ceremonies and traditional celebrations of joys and sorrows. Songs are often accompanied by dances which reflect upon the lives and cultural complex of the folks. They are initiated on almost all occasions starting from child-birth to death and funeral. European administrators like G.A. Grierson collected and published Indian folk songs of the Bihar region as early as 1886. He even translated them. W.G. Archer (1974), Veirier Elwin (1946), A.G. Sherrif (1898) also showed interest and collected the folk songs. Of the Indian folklorist, Achyut Charan Choudhury (1856-1953) was the first amongst the folk song collectors. He collected the Gaur Govindo folk songs Pagal Thakwer Chora in the 15"' to 16"' century (Sharma 1999). Md. Asraf Hussain (1892-1965) classified folklore into thirty seven divisions, in which he mentions Baromashigan, Lacharigan, Poi (small poems) Baulgan (spiritual songs), Marphadgan (religious songs), Sarigan (boatman's songs or songs that men sing while at work), Gajirgan (boatman's song), Ullirgan (holi songs), Dhukargan (sorrowful songs), Bharotbibarangan (songs with Indian nationalistic fervour) Jakkargan (argumentative songs), Acharitagan (songs creating wonder), Bayan (descriptive) Morchiyagan,Shikhamulakgan (songs imparting moral lessons), Kathar katha (proverbial songs), Bandhagan andJarigan.
