Webinar: Study in Poland at SWPS Univrsity
political scientist, philosopher, psychologist
How do populist movements use aesthetic means to get attention and lure supporters? Do the followers of the populist creed differ from the rest of society in the way they get dressed, cook, and entertain themselves? Does the aesthetic dimension of politics form as an important part of any political movement or is it just an accidental phenomenon without any significance? Can we view and interpret the political struggle as a struggle of two aesthetics? Does democracy need the arts to function properly? Professor Leszek Koczanowicz, form SWPS University's Institute of Humanities will look for answers to these questions.
NCN Project No.: 2019/35/B/HS2/01187
The aesthetic dimension of politics has usually been neglected or marginalized. However, the recent rise of populist movements places the question of the relationship between aesthetics and politics at the center of the cultural studies and political science discourses. Populism is usually connected with building strong identities, and it is hardly imaginable that the collective identities could be constructed without an extensive usage of aesthetics tools.
Main goals of the project include:
I am very happy that I can carry out research that encompasses many of my interests, because I have always been interested in cultural contexts of politics, and aesthetics, after all, is part of culture. I have always thought that cultural aspects have been often neglected in standard descriptions of political life. I hope that I will be able to fill this gap at least partially.
The project will be carried out in two phases.
