The conference was funded by the Horizon Europe project MORES (Moral Emotions in Politics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event examined how populist movements have reshaped European political discourse, spreading emotionally charged narratives of nationhood, leadership and &#8220;the people&#8221; above all through the affective imagery of screen media. Approaching populism less as a fixed ideology than as a political style, the participants explored how fictional film, television and streaming series create, promote or contest populist attitudes \u2014 and how these dynamics unfold across Europe&#8217;s linguistic borders and its competing nationalist and transnational frames of reference. Papers drawn from a wide range of media, historical and geographical contexts continued a cross-border dialogue on populism in audiovisual culture and laid the ground for future collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his keynote,&nbsp;<em>Government by Revelation: Populism and Political Theology in 1930s Hollywood<\/em>, Johannes Pause traced the historical roots of audiovisual populism back to the &#8220;populist&#8221; cinema of the Great Depression. Reading populism as an applied political theology of democracy, the lecture contrasted several films of the period and introduced a screening of Gregory La Cava&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>Gabriel Over the White House<\/em>&nbsp;(1933).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":392,"featured_media":18982,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[308],"news-topic":[318],"organisation":[640],"authorship":[392],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
