Abstract

ABSTRACT Along the internal EU border between Germany and Poland, border discourse has increasingly turned to issues of crime and insecurity, with voices speaking up for more controls and border closures. This paper analyses the way in which such border-related statements show features of populist communication by contextualizing this example within a wider discussion on the issues of populism in relation to emotions and space. The argumentation supports the use of concepts of populism in political geography as it has a high potential of analysing discourses of othering, reordering and re-bordering and of highlighting the emotions within these processes.
