Populism and TimeTemporalities of a Disruptive Politics\nAuthor(s): Andy Knott\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Edinburgh University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Edinburgh University Press\nISBN-13: 9781399527736, 978-1399527736\nSynopsis\nThis book addresses the untapped theoretical encounter between populism and time. It argues that this enquiry can augment analyses of the history, contemporary political practice and theory of populism, by identifying and critically engaging with its appearances, disappearances, and its failure to emerge within the broad scope of global politics. The book incorporates populism's relationship with democracy, modernity, subjectivity, communication, technology and crisis to draw temporal comparisons between populism, and rival political practices and logics.
