New book with contemporary relevance!

25 Mar 2020

Congratulations to Agnes Horvath, Arpad Szakolczai, and Manussos Marangudakis on the publication of their edited book: Modern Leaders: In between charisma and trickery.

This is a timely book that considers the current striking rise of ‘outsider’ political leaders, catapulted, apparently, from nowhere, to take charge of a nation. It offers studies of contemporary political figures from the world stage - including Presidents Macron, Tsipras and Bolsonaro, among others - to examine the ways in which charismatic and trickster modalities can become intertwined, especially under the impact of theatrical public media.

Title - Modern Leaders: In between charisma and trickery

Editors - Agnes Horvath, Arpad Szakolczai, and Manussos Marangudakis
