Abstract
The project Dr. Hawkins, Mayavel Amado, and I completed with the assistance of the ORCA funds provided was an extension of a previous project that we presented at the American Political Science Association’s annual meeting in 2010. Specifically, that paper presented theoretical possibilities for expanding the study of rhetorical categorizations beyond populism—-the only field in which there had been previous research. Specifically, this project was an attempt to empirically verify what we argued in that paper. We used the same methodology he used earlier (Hawkins 2009) to classify and delineate populism as a political discourse and applied it to other forms of political discourse, namely, benign nationalism, militant patriotism, and pragmatism.
