SUMMARY:Cycle sur les populismes dans le monde: The mobilization of resentm
 ent in the United States and Europe
DESCRIPTION:Conférence de Bart Bonikowski\, Université de Harvard.
Schola
 rly and journalistic accounts of the recent successes of radical-right pol
 itics in Europe and the United States\, including the Brexit referendum an
 d the Trump campaign\, tend to conflate three phenomena: populism\, nation
 alism\, and authoritarianism.
While all three are important elements of th
 e radical right\, they are neither coterminous nor limited to the right. T
 he resulting lack of analytical clarity has hindered accounts of the cause
 s and consequences of ethno-nationalist populism.
To address this problem\
 , I bring together existing research on nationalism\, populism\, and autho
 ritarianism in contemporary democracies to precisely define these concepts
  and examine temporal patterns in their supply and demand\, that is\, poli
 ticians’ discursive strategies and the corresponding public attitudes.
E
 xisting research shows that both the supply and demand sides of radical po
 litics have been relatively stable over time\, which suggests that in orde
 r to understand public support for radical politics\, scholars should inst
 ead focus on the increased resonance between pre-existing attitudes and di
 scursive frames.
Drawing on recent research in cultural sociology\, I argu
 e that resonance is not only a function of the congruence between a frame 
 and the beliefs of its audience\, but also of shifting context. In the cas
 e of radical-right politics\, a variety of social changes have engendered 
 a sense of collective status threat among national ethnocultural majoritie
 s.
Political and media discourse has channeled such threats into resentmen
 ts toward elites\, immigrants\, and ethnic\, racial\, and religious minori
 ties\, thereby activating previously latent attitudes and lending legitima
 cy to radical political campaigns that promise to return power and status 
 to their aggrieved supporters.
Not only does this form of politics threate
 n democratic institutions and inter-group relations\, but it also has the 
 potential to alter the contours of mainstream public discourse\, thereby c
 reating the conditions of possibility for future successes of populist\, n
 ationalist\, and authoritarian politics.
