Ongoing Projects
[Project] Tracking the Infodemic: Conspiracy Theories in the Corona Crisis
This research project applies innovative corpus-linguistic methods to analyse the use and distribution of typical linguistic patterns of conspiracy theories and study the discursive strategies they share with right-wing populist and extremist discourses.
[Project] The Normalization of Right-wing Populist and New Right Discourses in Japan and Germany
In this comparative research project we study different instances of political populism as a “thin ideology” (Mudde/Kaltwasser) in its respective ideological proximity to right-wing discourses in Japan and Germany from a discourse-analytical perspective.
