Resumo(s)
This paper establishes a dialogue between populism studies, typologies of
reconstruction of the past, and argumentative dialectics. The paper analyzes
what types of argumentative strategies are employed in the context of the
discussions regarding Spanish memory politics and how those strategies can
be associated with typologies of re-elaboration of the past (Caramani and
Manucci 2019). Building from argumentative dialectics (Van Eemeren and
Grootendorst 2004), the paper studies argumentation structures uttered after
the endorsement of the 2007 Spanish Historical Memory Law and the proposal
of the 2021 Draft Democratic Memory Law. Departing from the distinction
between diverse strategies of re-elaboration of the past, namely, heroization and
cancellation (Caramani and Manucci 2019), the paper questions if Spanish
decision-makers’ rhetorical strategies and political decisions in the field of
memory politics disclose the adoption of particular types of populist behavior.
The paper claims that the argumentative tactics used, in the domain of memory
politics, by Spanish left-wing leaders reveal the adoption of a heroization strategy.
In contrast, the rhetoric of Spanish right-wing leaders favors a strategy of
cancellation. The paper also claims that, in the Spanish case, mainly from 2018
onwards, the adoption by Spanish left-wing leaders of a heroization strategy had
two consequences. First, it did not reduce the cultural opportunity structure for
right-wing populism. Second, it fostered a cultural opportunity structure for the
affirmation of left-wing populism. The paper selected argumentative dialectics
as a methodological framework (Van Eemeren and Grootendorst 2004). The
paper discusses the scientific significance of analyzing memory politics through
the lenses of populism studies.
