Four recent books believe that we have entered the ‘era of populism’. After 30 years of neoliberal hegemony, we would now be living a new historical period in which political life would be more and more confrontational, personalized and emotional. Through a reconstruction of the main arguments of Ilvo Diamanti, Marc Lazar, Chantal Mouffe, Pierre Rosanvallon and Arnaud Zacharie, this article aims to highlight the accomplishments and the limitations of this historical diagnosis. Special attention is given to the fact that, behind an apparent consensus, the theorists of the ‘populist moment’ disagree on several issues: the definition of populism, its relationship with political liberalism and the existence of a populist electorate.

“民粹主义时刻”:一种表达方式,使我们更多地了解我们如何感知自己的时间,而不是这段时间本身
最近有四本书认为我们已经进入了“民粹主义时代”。经过30年的新自由主义霸权,我们现在将生活在一个新的历史时期,在这个时期,政治生活将越来越具有对抗性,个性化和情感性。通过重构伊尔沃·迪亚曼蒂(Ilvo Diamanti),马克·拉扎尔(Marc Lazar),尚塔尔·穆菲(Chantal Mouffe),皮埃尔·罗森瓦隆(Pierre Rosanvallon)和阿诺·扎查里(Arnaud Zacharie)的主要论点,本文旨在强调这一历史诊断的成就和局限性。特别注意的是,在一个明显的共识背后,“民粹主义时刻”的理论家在以下几个问题上存在分歧:民粹主义的定义,民粹主义与政治自由主义的关系以及民粹主义选民的存在。
