Working further, I had to add again the notions of universalism and particularism that Ernesto usefully discussed in his essay (Laclau 1995), which I have been translating with a colleague in Finnish – without this it would have been impossible to understand Heller’s politics. How productive can the two-hour flights be! That was a thought to celebrate with a class of sparkling wine. And that answer fits with my framework through the concept of ‘competing populism’. the answer to the question, what is the difference between cultural populism and kulturkampf.that as I am claiming to build a theoretical framework to contribute to comparative analysis, the case of Heller in Hungary could usefully be compared to the case of Austria, in terms of political mobilisation or the lack of it.The case of Heller fits the framework of cultural populism as the, potentially, last case, after research on political memory and symbols, street names, memorials, and architecture. that from my pre-doctoral research, I have been working on cultural populism – in the terms I understand it today, which I managed to explain in the presentation.I also managed to briefly illustrate my framework, and use it throughout the presentation After all, I rewrote my PhD thesis for Essex, at the IWM, Institute for Human Sciences, in Vienna.
just how much my own political theory – or my take on Ernesto Laclau’s theory on politics and populism, the populist dynamics, actually draws on Austrian politics.
Flying to Vienna for the conference, I realised I wrote a paper, which not only united the two Academy of Finland projects I’ve been working, but also my previous work, including the doctoral thesis. Having said yes to Tuija Saresma, who was invited to organise a panel at the professor emerita, Ruth Wodak’s conference Gender, Language and Politics, I had to rethink my ongoing work and present for the second time in a feminist conference. However, rush can be central for developing ideas. That means intensive work on things which could have been more carefully studied.
Recovered, in my case of four wastes weeks in September and November, the workload has to be managed. When as an academic you get behind your work because of illness like the autumn flue, nobody does your work for you.
