POPREBEL project: Populist imageries and popular geopolitics

Andrey Makarychev will look at populism through the lens of popular geopolitics, a discipline that studies attitudes to spaces, borders and identities existing beyond political elites, which manifest themselves through performative practices, vernacular discourses (including myths, stereotypes, misperceptions, conspiracy theories) and images. It will undertake this by examining and researching the cases of three target countries: Estonia, Poland and Slovakia.
