Título(Don’t) Talk to Strangers! Populism, Policies and Attitudes toward Migration
Resumo

Given the explosion of populism around the world, migration has increasingly taken a contested role. The linear increase in migratory flows seems to have fueled a binary public opinion, in which both the supply-side (e.g., candidates and incumbents, party militants) and demand-side of politics (e.g., voters, party supporters and social movements) have positioned themselves between pro-immigrant and anti-immigrant narratives. Over the last two decades, radical right-wing populism has raised anti-immigrant discourses; whereas, radical left-wing populism has encouraged pro-immigrant narratives. In this panel, we dive straight into this argument. More precisely, we openly discuss the relation between the varieties of populism and the multifold perceptions towards migration, in comparative perspective. This panel, then, do not only comprises contributions from public opinion, but also from comparative historical, ethnographic and discursive analyzes, which aim to illustrate a complex connection between populism and migration from its multiple facets. In this panel, we expect to represent each quadrant of our typology between discourses towards migration and the angles to analyze contemporary populism
