SAVREMENA POPULISTIČKA POLITIČKA KULTURA: U RASPONU OD MODERNE KA POSTMODERNISTIČKIM POLITIČKIM TOKOVIMA. (Croatian)

CONTEMPORARY POPULIST POLITICAL CULTURE: FROM MODERNISM TO POSTMODERNIST POLITICAL TRENDS. (English)

The author analyses the degree of influence populism has on main political trends in Euro-Atlantic societies by examining problems surrounding the terminological conceptualization of populism and its historical manifestations in a specific national context. The interiorization of populism into the liberal-democratic political discourse has been made possible by the ambivalent nature of democratic political culture, which implies not only the autonomy of thought and the participation of citizens in the political system, but also certain loyalistic, subservient elements, cognitive-affective unity and the consent of subjects on fundamental values on which a political order is based. At times of major social crises, which problematize and reevaluate the overall value system, populism, through the programs of the far right and left, skillfully utilizes the indoctrinational potential of democracy offering a simplified explication of the reasons that caused crises and by influencing the retraditionalization of behavior imposes itself as the guardian of a national collective's values and tradition. Populism, by instrumentalizing mass media, interprets politics into a simple and easily understandable language thus reducing the need for an intellectual and critical potential.

Uvidom u teškoće pojmovne konceptualizacije populizma i njegove istorijske manifestacije u specifičnom nacionalnom kontekstu, autor analizira stepen uticaja populizma na glavne političke tokove u evroatlantskim društvima. Interiorizacija populizma u liberalno-demokratski politički diskurs omogućena je ambivalentnom prirodom demokratske političke kulture, koja ne podrazumijeva samo autonomiju mišljenja i participaciju građana u političkom sistemu, već i određene lojalističke, podaničke elemente, kognitivno-afektivno jedinstvo i saglasnost subjekata sa temeljnim vrijednostima na kojima se zasniva jedan politički poredak. U razdobljima velikih društvenih kriza koje problematizuju i re-evaluiraju ukupni vrijednosni sistem, populizam kroz programe krajnje desnice i ljevice vješto koristi indoktrinacijski potencijal demokratije nudeći simplifikovanu eksplikaciju uzroka krize, te utičući na re-tradicionalizaciju ponašanja samopostavlja se kao čuvar vrijednosti i tradicije nacionalnog kolektiva. Instrumentalizacijom mas-medija populizam politiku prevodi na jednostavan i razumljiv jezik redukujući potrebu za intelektualnim i kritičkim potencijalom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
