Specifikacia Heritage and Nationalism: Understanding Populism Through Big Data Bonacchi Chiara
An empirically grounded analysis of the repurposing of ancient and medieval European history in digital-age populism.How was the Roman Empire invoked in Brexit Britain and in the United States during Donald Trump's presidency, and to what purpose? And why is it critical to answer these kinds of questions? Heritage and Nationalism explores how people's perceptions and experiences of the ancient past shape political identities in the digital age. It examines the multiple ways in which politicians, parties, and private citizens mobilize aspects of the Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval past of Britain and Europe to include or exclude others based on culture, religion, class, race, and ethnicity.The book uses quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate how premodern periods are leveraged to support or oppose populist-nationalist arguments as part of social media
