public sphere, democracy, social networks, political affects, emotions, PopulismAbstract
One of the most prominent features of populism is its emotionality. Yet studies on the emotional dimension of populism tend to be rather superficial. Precisely, this article attempts to shed some light on the affective foundations of populism, taking advantage of the findings resulting from the affective turn that has taken place on the social sciences in the last years. In this connection, it also deals with the digital transformation of the public space and its effects on the populist sentimentality.
