For Phaleas, if the right to private property and democracy were the pillars of vox populi, the current wave of populist politics areplagued by what Yochai Benkler et al. call an \u201cepistemic crisis in media and politics that threatens the integrity of democratic processes, erodes trust in public institutions, and exacerbates social divisions\u201d (2018, n.p.). Even if the very term \u2018populism\u2019\u201ccarries associations of crowd-pleasing and cheap emotionalism\u201d (2011, 100), as the South African anthropologist Jean Comaroff argues, \u201ca certain populist radicalism \u2013an opposition to the dictatorship and doxa of elites [&#8230;] is a necessary, if not sufficient condition of mass transformative movements in all times and places\u201d (104; emphasis original). Reaffirming this view, Chantal Mouffe (2018) has called for a radical reframing of populist politics that would not only counteract the politics of exclusion or polarization, but also preserve the existing social collectivesand institutions (e.g. Podemos of Spain, the Zapatistas of Mexico). It is the very paradox of populism\u2019s dystopic disruptions and utopic desiresthat form the basis for the essays featured in this special issue.
