As a result, it defies neat definition, as scholarship on the topic has shown over the last 50 years. In this book, Sebastián Moreno Barreneche approaches populism from a semiotic perspective and argues that it constitutes a specific social discourse grounded on a distinctive narrative structure that is brought to life by political actors that are labelled 'populist'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConceiving of populism as a mode of semiotic production that is based on a conception of the social space as divided into two groups, 'the People' and 'the Other', this book uses semiotic theory to make sense of this political phenomenon. Exploring how the categories of 'the People' and 'the Other' are discursively constructed by populist political actors through the use of semiotic resources, the ways in which meaning emerges through the oppositions between imagined collective actors is explained. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on examples from Europe, North America and South America, \u003ci\u003eThe Social Semiotics of Populism\u003c\/i\u003e presents a systematic semiotic approach to this multifaceted political concept and bridges semiotic theory and populism studies in an original manner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSebastián Moreno Barreneche\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Lecturer at the Faculty of Management and Social Sciences of Universidad ORT Uruguay, Uruguay, and an active researcher of Uruguay's National Research System (SNI).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344136429875,"sku":"9781350205437","price":80.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dBBl_H6VH49781350205437.webp?v=1778718690","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-social-semiotics-of-populism-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
