  Democracy and populism: dangerous liaisons?

  Cette journée d’étude à deux objectifs : discuter la pertinence même de la notion de populisme et étudier les modalités de son application dans différents contextes nationaux (France, Italie, Hongrie). Devant la variété des formes de populisme et la banalisation du terme dans le champ médiatique, la notion a été critiquée, affinée voire affirmée. Que faire alors de cette catégorie d’analyse ? Faut-il l’abandonner dès lors qu’elle sert à qualifier des partis aussi divers que le Rassemblement national, la France insoumise, le Mouvement 5 étoiles, la Ligue du Nord ou le Fidesz-Union civique hongroise ? Doit-on y voir avant tout un style politique ? Que nous apportent la science politique, l’histoire et les sciences de l’information et de la communication pour appréhender ces phénomènes ?

  Democracy and Technology, Europe in Tension from the 19th to the 21st Century

  Sixth Plenary Conference of Tensions of Europe

  This conference will be devoted to the complex relationship between democracy and technology from a European and transnational perspective. The core of this reflection will be the complementarities and cross-fertilization that arise in the interaction of technology and democracy, but also the frictions, tensions, and paradoxes that emerge in the discourses, representations and interplay of actors. This historical conference is open to a wide range of interdisciplinary inquiry. It invites proposals for papers addressing an issue that up to now has mainly been investigated on a national basis. Focusing on circulations and appropriations of technology in a European and transnational perspective, the conference should open new ways to think and talk about the history of Europe.
