Abstract

This chapter tries to identify the critical points at the juncture of populism and memory, in particular it focuses on what lesson we can draw from the literature and practice of populism for the collective memory manipulations as well as for memory studies in general. This proposed analytical framework will serve as a theoretical groundwork for further memory as well as populism studies.
