“…Moreover, subjectivation usually has a social psychological dimension: discursive practices are often aimed at intensifying intergroup anxiety and may strengthen in-group favouritism (see Nawrocki 2021). One of the best examples here is the use of conspiracy theories, which often serve to unite populists' supporters: they demand taking sides and merge epistemic choice with identity declaration (see Kleeberg, 2019), such as with Trump's 'Big Lie' or Law and Justice's Smoleńsk conspiracy. Importantly, the epistemic approach assumes that it is the interplay of cognitive, affective, and epistemic mechanisms that may produce effects such as prejudice or wilful ignorance of certain information and not some 'natural' disposition of individuals belonging to a populist epistemic community.…”

The recent epistemological turn in populism studies has produced many valuable insights pertaining to populist knowledge practices, conspiracy theories, information bubbles, and cognitive biases. However, various elements of populist epistemology are still studied separately, and there are no common theoretical assumptions that would arrange them into a comprehensive epistemic theory of populism. Thus, apart from presenting a preliminary mapping of recent changes in the field, the article proposes a basic theoretical framework for an epistemic approach to studying populism by conceptualising populism as a set of epistemic interventions: discursive and non-discursive practices that construe the people as a political subject and result in the emergence of a populist epistemic community. The article discusses how the latter concept may help to link discursive, performative, communicative, and cognitive elements of populism, along with describing key features of populist epistemic communities and indicating possible directions for future research on populist epistemology.

“…That implies that praxeology is one of the studies that is not only related to what people do, and how they do it, but also related to what they think, and how they do it. Kleeberg (2019) states that this praxeological approach can be related to the problem of truth that can be proven either historically, discursively or epistemologically where this approach must fulfill two functions, which are related to the norm of truth and assert its validity while being able to see various deviations that exist.…”

Textbook praxeological-didactical analysis: Lessons learned from the Indonesian mathematics textbook

The objective of textbook study is to create high-quality textbooks. Analysis was done using a praxeological-didactical analysis (PDA) method. PDA offers space to analyze curriculum materials, such as math textbooks, which are the outcome of human action in the anthropology of a specific nation's society. There are 10 types of tasks given in the mathematics textbook on measurement of spatial figures and seven techniques are identified as possible ways to complete the tasks. The justification of praxis is that there are three emerging technologies and two theories that are used as the final direction of the given task type. There is a sequence of task composition at the start with loads at level 2 and level 3 that can affect student readiness. Psychologically, it is regarded as difficult at first, which can lead to students becoming disinterested as well as bored, thus experiencing difficulties, creating ontogenetic obstacles. The other predicted learning obstacles identified in this textbook are epistemological and didactic obstacles. All the findings from this analysis can be applied to continuously raise the standard of the currently available mathematics textbooks.

The evaluation and transformation process of the GDR research system in the wake of German reunification 1989/90 was immediately accompanied not only by debates within the scientific community, but also by an extensive discussion about the value and future perspectives of East German scholarship and its protagonists in the nationally circulated press. In 1990, the focus turned temporarily to the prominent East German prehistorian Joachim Herrmann after his election to the board of an international historical association. The article uses the example of Herrmann and the public discussion about him as a case study to examine the status of, and changes in, the authority of scholarship and the scholar in the context of the evaluation and restructuring of the East German research landscape in the early 1990s. A selection of press articles from nationwide German newspapers and newsmagazines, as well as archival letters exchanged between different participants in the debate serve as prisms carving out the central arguments and subjacent structures of the discussion. Therefore, Herrmann's case exposes generic characteristics of (different concepts of) scientific authority and the close connection between its negotiation and the search for identity in the newly reunited German academic sphere.
