Popular biopolitics and populism at Europe's Eastern margins
A. S. Makarychev (Author)
"Andrey Makarychev helps you to better understand populism as a phenomenon deeply rooted in mass culture. Unlike many other studies, the book discusses populism from a biopolitical perspective and turns your attention to the grounding of populist narratives in the issues of corporeality, sexuality, health conditions, bodily life and religious lifestyles. The three countries compared - Estonia, Ukraine and Russia - all share post-Soviet experiences that offer a broad spectrum of populist discourses. References to cultural and media products, artworks, theatrical performances and literature distinguish this work from more traditional accounts of populism and its connections with biopower"-- Provided by publisher
