“…In our focus on conjunctures, we draw on the founding texts of critical cultural studies, and in particular on Stuart Hall's analyses of the articulations of politics and culture in what he later came to term authoritarian populism (Hall, 1980a(Hall, , 1980b(Hall, , 1985(Hall, , 1986Hall et al, 1978). In this body of work, we find the outlines of a conjunctural analysis (Clarke, 2010(Clarke, , 2014Davison et al, 2016: 2;Ege, 2019;Ege and Gallas, 2019). As his colleague Lawrence Grossberg put it, Hall's 'commitment to study the conjuncture' can be read as his project's specific intellectual quality, his widely scattered oeuvre as 'a conjuncturalist study of changing conjunctures' (Grossberg, 2015: 7).…”

This article introduces the concept of cultures of rejection as a framing device to investigate conditions of acceptability of authoritarian populism among workers in Germany and Austria. After situating the concept in the current scholarly debate on right-wing populism and discussing its main theoretical points of reference, we offer an analysis focusing on experiences of crisis and transformation. Two elements of cultures of rejection are discussed in depth: the rejection of racialised and/or culturalised ‘unproductive’ others; and the rejection of the public sphere, linked to the emergence of a ‘shielded subjectivity’. These articulations of rejection are then discussed as related to two dimensions of a crisis of authority: the crisis of state or political authority in the field of labour and the economy; and the crisis of a moral order, experienced as decline in social cohesion. In conclusion, we identify possible avenues for further research, demonstrating the productivity of the conceptual framework of cultures of rejection.
