ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on the extensive research project e-EAV (e-Engagement against Violence), supported by the DAPHNE programme 2012-2014, which approached these questions through a double perspective. On the one hand, the research set out to analyse right-wing/radical right discourses and communicative strategies and particularly their online manifestations with particular focus on rhetorical and ideological uses of the populist narrative'. The European Election in 2014 where far-right' populist parties increased their representation reflects this trend and confirms a tendency which is not new The chapters provide a comparative analysis of online discourses and practices of populist organisations and movements applying methods of frame and visual analysis of a wide range of media texts. The issue is investigated through the lens of students' and teachers' experiences as well as participant observation by researchers.
