Short presentation
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Rhetoric at the Literature department.
The aim of my dissertation is to assess the usages of the concept of the 'demagogue' (i.e. the leader of the people), in political thought, in order to better understand the historical background of the so-called 'populist moment' of our present.
