Abstract

How did democracy become so vulnerable in America? Donald Trump is a shrill warning of the political system's fragility, but he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is broader and deeper-and looms still. Even before Trump ran for president, his disdain for the rules and norms of democracy and the US Constitution was well-known by many prominent Republicans who were unable to stop his nomination. Trump's presidency is the culmination of a series of political decisions since the late 18th century that ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologues. Democracy Under Fire provides a readable, if disturbing, history of American democracy and proposes recommendations to restore it.

Abstract

This book examines the highly ambivalent implications and effects of anti-elitism. It draws on this theme as a cross-cutting entry point to provide transdisciplinary analysis of current conjunctures and their contradictions, drawing on examples from popular culture and media, politics, fashion, labour and spatial arrangements. Using the toolboxes of media and discourse analysis, hegemony theory, ethnography, critical social psychology and cultural studies more broadly, the book surveys and theorizes the forms, the implications and the ambiguities and limits of anti-elitist formations in different parts of the world. Anti-elitist sentiments colour the contemporary political conjuncture as much as they shape pop cultural and media trends. Populists, right-wing authoritarian ones and others, direct their anger at cultural, political and, sometimes, economic elites while supporting other elites and creating new ones. At the same time, "elitist" knowledge and expertise, decision-making power and taste regimes are being questioned in societal transformations that are discussed much more positively under headlines such as participation or democratization. The book brings together a group of international, interdisciplinary case studies in order to better understand the ways in which the battle cry "against the elites" shapes current conjunctures and possible future politics, focusing on themes such as nationalist political discourse in India, Austria, the UK and Hungary, labour struggles and anti-oligarchy rhetoric in Russia, tax-avoiding elites and fiscal imaginaries, working-class agency, Melania Trump as a celebrity narrative in Slovenia, aesthetic codes of the Alt-Right, football hooliganism in Germany, "hipster hate" in German political discourse or the politics of expertise and anti-elite iconography in high fashion internationally. The book is intended for undergraduates, postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers.

Abstract

SINDS DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT WERD, ZIJN DE VERENIGDE STATEN OPNIEUW WAKKER GESCHUD.Monika Triest reisde begin 2019 terug naar het land waar ze eerder lang woonde. Ze bezocht vrienden en collega's met wie ze van 1968 tot 1977 actie voerde tegen de oorlog in Vietnam, tegen racisme en uitbuiting, tegen de talloze verdachtmakingen van de staat tegenover progressieve personen en organisaties, en voor de zwarte en latino beweging. Hun doel was een nieuwe samenleving te creëren, waarbij de verzetsbewegingen uit het verleden - die in dit boek uitgebreid aan bod komen - een grote inspiratiebron vormden. De VS kennen immers een lange traditie van verzet, maar die geschiedenis wordt zelden verteld.Vandaag is 'progressief' Amerika weer springlevend. Uiteenlopende groepen voeren actie tegen de macht van het grote kapitaal, tegen verrechtsing, tegen discriminatie, tegen racisme en tegen seksisme. Met een president die alles op zijn kop zet en de democratie zelf en de wereldvrede bedreigt, zijn de lessen uit het verleden uiterst kostbaar.HET ANDERE AMERIKA vertelt niet het verhaal van Trump en de Tea Party, maar wel een verhaal van hoop.Monika Triest (1941) promoveerde in de klassieke filologie. In de jaren zestig en zeventig doceerde ze in de VS. Nadien doceerde ze vrouwenstudies aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Ze publiceerde over vrouwen, emancipatie, feminisme en geschiedenis.Bron : http://www.standaardboekhandel.be

Abstract

In 'De lengte van een oceaan' luistert Björn Soenens vooral naar de verhalen van gewone Amerikanen. Hij tekent hun strijd op, hun overlevingsdrang, hun gevecht tegen onrecht en tegen het onvermijdelijke. Het boek zit vol verbazing en verontwaardiging over real life ten tijde van Trump. Bij momenten componeert Soenens bijna een requiem van de Amerikaanse droom. Door de coronacrisis worden de zwakke plekken van de VS plots open wonden. Björn Soenens brengt Amerika ' het echte, alledaagse ' in dit vuistdikke boek heel dichtbij.Bron : http://www.standaardboekhandel.be

Abstract

On Election Day in 2016, it seemed unthinkable to many Americans that Donald Trump could become president of the United States. But the victories of the Obama administration hid from view fundamental problems deeply rooted in American social institutions and history. The election's consequences drastically changed how Americans experience their country, especially for those threatened by the public outburst of bigotry and repression. Amid the deluge of tweets and breaking news stories that turn each day into a political soap opera, it can be difficult to take a step back and see the big picture. To confront the threats we face, we must recognize that the Trump presidency is a symptom, not the malady.Antidemocracy in America is a collective effort to understand how we got to this point and what can be done about it. Assembled by the sociologist Eric Klinenberg as well as the editors of the online magazine Public Books, Caitlin Zaloom and Sharon Marcus, it offers essays from many of the nation's leading scholars, experts on topics including race, religion, gender, civil liberties, protest, inequality, immigration, climate change, national security, and the role of the media. Antidemocracy in America places our present in international and historical context, considering the worldwide turn toward authoritarianism and its varied precursors. Each essay seeks to inform our understanding of the fragility of American democracy and suggests how to protect it from the buried contradictions that Trump's victory brought into public view.

Abstract

Why did 62 million Americans vote for Donald Trump? Trump and Us offers a fresh perspective on this question, taking seriously the depth and breadth of Trump's support. An expert in political language, Roderick P. Hart turns to Trump's words, voters' remarks, and media commentary for insight. The book offers the first systematic rhetorical analysis of Trump's 2016 campaign and early presidency, using text analysis and archives of earlier presidential campaigns to uncover deep emotional undercurrents in the country and provide historical comparison. Trump and Us pays close attention to the emotional dimensions of politics, above and beyond cognition and ideology. Hart argues it was not partisanship, policy, or economic factors that landed Trump in the Oval Office but rather how Trump made people feel.
