Movement, Place and Meaning: Public Lectures in the Arts
A thought-provoking new series of public lectures exploring the theme of ‘Movement, Place and Meaning’ from the perspective of five interconnected disciplines in the School of the Arts: Architecture, Communication and Media, English, Music and Philosophy.
Wednesday 13th February 2019 (5.00pm)

Crisis in/and Populist Imagination: Brexit and Beyond
Professor Michał Krzyżanowski from the Department of Communication and Media Studies will focus on the complexity of the populist uptake of ‘crisis’ as a social and political imaginary. Drawing on insights from critical discourse studies, conceptual history, critical social theory and cultural political economy, he will argue that ‘crisis’ has recently become part and parcel of utopian visions of society. He will look closely at the dynamics of European political and public discourse on ‘crisis’ in relation to two events where either down/overplaying ‘crisis’ or constructing it as imaginary or imminent ‘threat’ was at the heart of politico-populist and wider public discourse.
