Over the last decade, the literature on populism has flourished as it has sought to account for the causes, definitions, and consequences of the significant support and prolonged political success of populist leaders and parties. However, the political and emotional reception of populist performance by populist constituencies is still an under-researched subject. Based on a qualitative study that was conducted in Istanbul between October and December 2016, this talk will focus on how performative populist political style is received, reproduced, and reflected in the emotional and political frameworks of the populist constituencies.
