This research set out to examine how ancient myths, Bible stories, and romantic visual imagery were used as discursive devices in the populist communication of the 2019 Finns Party election video. This study draws from systematic functional multimodal discourse analysis and its concepts of intersemiotic texture, co-contextualization, and re-contextualization to examine how different semiotic resources work together in the video. The multimodal analysis demonstrated the aforementioned resources served as a means of constructing a palingenetic myth, intertwining mythical resources with current social and political circumstances in Finland. Together, the verbal, visual, and sonic modalities as well as the mythical, biblical, and artistic rhetorical devices constructed multimodal political communication that was capable of appealing to emotions, constructing collective identities, and mobilizing people.

这项研究着手研究如何将古代神话，圣经故事和浪漫的视觉图像用作2019芬兰党大选视频民粹主义交流中的推论手段。这项研究从系统的功能性多模态话语分析及其符号间纹理，共情境化和重新情境化的概念中汲取了经验，以研究视频中不同的符号资源如何协同工作。多模式分析表明，上述资源可作为建构古希腊神话的手段，将神话资源与芬兰当前的社会和政治环境交织在一起。言语，视觉和声音的形式以及神话，圣经和艺术的修辞手段共同构成了能够吸引情感的多形式政治交流，
