  • Genealogies of Populism: Reflections on Popular Sovereignty Today
    What is populism? Is it an ideology, a style, a strategy, a political logic, a form of governance, or all of the above? What explains the sudden reinvigoration of claims to speak for ‘the people’ in the contemporary moment, across ideologically diverse political projects? What is the relationship between the rise of populism and the parallel processes of neoliberalization that have taken place across the globe?
    In this conversation with Dr. Partha Chatterjee we consider the (re)emergence of populism in today’s world in relation to the twentieth-century trajectory of liberalism and neoliberal reforms. Drawing on his extensive research on nationalism, post-coloniality, popular sovereignty and neoliberal governmentality in and beyond India, we speak with Dr. Chatterjee about the effects of neoliberalization in the development of contemporary democracies. The discussion includes reflection on the spaces, arrangements, and practices from which we might draw hope for the formation of alternatives to the current crossroad.
    Partha Chatterjee is a political theorist and historian. He studied at Presidency College in Calcutta, and received his PhD from the University of Rochester. He divides his time between Columbia University and the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, where he was the director from 1997 to 2007. He is the author of more than twenty books, monographs and edited volumes and is a founding member of the Subaltern Studies Collective. He was awarded the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize for 2009 for outstanding achievements in the field of Asian studies.

    The UArizona Sawyer Seminar "Neoliberalism at the Neopopulist Crossroads" is a cross-disciplinary, collaborative inquiry that re-examines prevailing theories of neoliberalism’s intellectual histories, political imaginations and cultural practices in light of the recent turn toward right-wing populisms around the world.
    The seminar is organized around seven themes that offer a vantage point on the neoliberal/populist articulation: genealogies, media, borders, race, subjectivity, religion, and art. These vantage points are applied to three global border zones: North and Latin America, Europe and North Africa/Middle East, India and greater South Asia.
