New articles on the people and populism

Postdoc Mikkel Flohr from the research group has written an extensive essay on the historical origins and development of populism, as well as the so-called "populist wave" and its relationship to liberal democracy entitled "Populism: Between Mob Rule and the Rule of the People." You can read or listen to it here (Danish only).

He has also written an introduction to Benedict Anderson’s analysis of the nation as an "imagined community" for Critical Legal Thinking on the fortieth anniversary of Anderson's classical work. That text can be found here.

Mikkel has also published an article on the duality of the concept of the people and its implications in Giorgio Agamben's works for Parrhesia, which can be accessed here. Finally, an article on the conceptual history of the people from 1830-1920 in Denmark from the project has been accepted for publication in the European Journal of Sociology. More information to be announced.
