Description

These considerations can be condensed to the following assumptions. 1) Political communication in general is guided by the distinction of friend and enemy. 2) In populist communication this distinction appears as the difference of the people and allegedly corrupt elites, including news media. 3) Angst enhances social cohesion among the audiences of populist speakers either directly or mediated by fear. 4) Populist communication is more likely to produce a type of fear that populists benefit from when it depicts the elite as a diffuse category composed of various interlinked enemies.

uses the term “anxiety” obtained from Macquarrie and Robinson’s translation of Being and Time. This translation seems inadequate and will be substituted by Heidegger’s (1967) original term “Angst.”Despite its performances for the constitution of society and enhancement of cohesion, Rico et al. (2017), e.g., do not regard the listeners’ fear (or, respectively, angst) as an emotion that populism benefits from. According to these authors, fear does not motivate action but the cognitive examination of unclear circumstances. This argument neglects the sociation function of angst and the fact that even in evolution-theoretical accounts fear is often connected to flight behavior. Zaccaria (2018) does recognize the functionality of a rhetoric of fear. He describes how the threat of losing important goods can translate into aggressions toward the people allegedly responsible for the feared loss. Zaccaria, however, also does not pay tribute to the sociating effects of fear.

Kung Fu Flid’ may get the Daily Mail crowd up on their podiums but with a host of the UK’s best acting and fight talent both in front and behind the cameras, a knowing, referential script and some hardcore action, it will be a film that will get people talking for all the right reasons. H2 has also been illustrated with empirical material. It has been shown that Trump uses the culture of political correctness to his advantage by provocatively transgressing norms, which facilitates the ascription of authenticity. “Chinese virus,”“China virus,” etc. provoked public indignation among news media and politicians, seemingly confirming that Trump’s opponents are hypocritical and as such part of an intellectual, political, and economic elite that follows its own interests, no matter at what cost for “the people.” Trump, in turn, seems to say things “how they are” and to follow a disenchanted zero-sum approach instead of distorting facts to please the expectations of an elitist etiquette, disguising reality: “It comes from China. I want to be accurate.” This approach breaks with the culture of political diplomacy, fostering direct confrontations. As shown by Trump’s use of the term “Kung flu,” Trump obtains resources for “authentic” communication from popular culture. Numerous references to other elements of popular culture such as football, actors, humor, etc. are present in countless excerpts of Trump’s public utterances, which might evoke the impression that Trump genuinely cherishes the taste, lifestyle, and concerns of ‘the people.’ Look, it just seems very odd to make a film about a man with vestigial arms fighting people in which not one of his opponents ventures to comment, before, during or after a fight, that it ought to be easy to beat a guy with vestigial arms. The reason why characters think they can beat Zatoichi or the One-Armed Swordsman is because those characters apparently present no threat on account of either (a) being blind or (b) having only one arm.Enter stage left, 'Kung Fu Flid', a film whose tag line goes - "They shot his wife, they kidnapped his daughter. They messed with the wrong Flid.” Standing out from the crowd indeed! The quotes above indicate that Trump depicts Democrats as unable to handle the situation, blames them for siding with the protesters, and thus identifies them with the radical left. The following quote from June 20 shows that Trump also considers the news media to be biased in favor of the protesters: “Americans have watch[ed] left-wing radicals burn down buildings, loot businesses, destroy private property injure hundreds of dedicated police officers. […] And injure thousands upon thousands of people, only to hear the radical fake news say, what a beautiful rally it was. And they never talk about COVID. […] You never hear them saying, they’re not wearing their mask. You don’t hear them say, as they’re breaking windows and running in. And then, when I say, the looters, the anarchists, the agitators, they’ll say, what a terrible thing for a President to say.” Other means obtained from popular culture that enable Trump to counteract the culture of political correctness and thus provoke sympathy among his followers are his designation of Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe Biden” (e.g., April 13, August 12, September 2) of Nancy Pelosi as “Crazy Nancy” (August 2, 3, 11) and of the mainstream media as “lamestream media” (June 18, July 29). It was the launch event for something or other. I was working for the Regional Arts Board at the time and we had maybe put some money in. There was free wine so, naturally, I went along. I’m fairly positive that must have been Mat Fraser.

TS: We are the only people, to my knowledge, in the world that have made a film like this and a few people I have talked to have said we have also created a new genre “Flidsplotation”! When this film comes out maybe there will be a few more made which will be brilliant as there are a lot of talented actors out there who have disabilities and they need to be seen and heard. On the other hand, Jimmy seems to know who he’s dealing with, where to find people and so on - so maybe he does know these gangsters. But then again, they don’t seem to know him. Nobody recognises him, but nor do they express any surprise at seeing him. And let’s face it, he’s a pretty surprising character, both when you first meet him and when you see what he’s capable of doing to protect his wife and rescue his daughter. XL: When Frank Harper threw a hammer at Beau Baptiste – it was an amazing unplanned moment. It really freaked the art department as it nearly hit an antique silver platter, that they persuaded someone to lend us – apparently it was worth a fair bit. TS: The whole film in pre-production and when we were filming was funny and I did think to myself all the way through the process "I can't believe that we are creating a film as off the wall as this!"The study bears some limitations. No attention has been paid to the production processes of communication contents like, e.g., communication between Trump and his strategists and speech writers. Reception processes of different types of audiences were not examined. Interactive sense-making among audiences and their peers have not been studied either. The results can, however, be employed to sensitize researchers for relevant themes and discourses in the context of a thorough communication analysis. More importantly, Trump’s states that he uses the term “Chinese virus” as a reaction to Chinese officials’ accusation that the virus “was caused by American soldiers.” In response to a journalist’s doubt whether Trump is not worried that the use of “Chinese virus” could have caused “dozens of incidents of bias against Chinese Americans,” Trump maintains that he uses the term not in a xenophobic or discriminating way but only to indicate that the virus originated in China, assuring that he has “great love for all the people from our country.” Interestingly, Trump responds to a question about a White House official’s alleged use of the term “Kung flu” by asking the reporter who this person was and, obviously not acquainted with the expression, to repeat the term. I caught up with the films Producer and co-star Terry Stone and director Xavier Leret to talk about the what, how’s and why’s of what’s set to be this years most talked about Independent action film.
