Descriptif
Right wing populism (RWP) is defined as both an ideology and as a communicative style (de Vreese et al. 2018). As a communicative style, RWP transgresses the normative conventions of political discourse (Aiolfi 2022). This extends to the multimodal, embodied performance of RWP where right-wing populist politicians are noted for their “strong corporeal presence” (Moffitt 2016: 52) and for being overly “corporeally demonstrative” (Lowndes 2017: 236). Of Donald Trump in particular, Hall, Goldstein and Ingram (2016: 83) observe that he “violates many of the normative bodily standards of presidential propriety expected for the political stage”. In the case of Donald Trump, marked corporeal presence is manifested in his frequent use of pointing and shrugging gestures (among other kinesic routines).
In this talk, I draw on frameworks for the study of co-speech gesture developed in cognitive linguistics (e.g. Cienki 2022) to discuss the forms and functions of pointing and shrugging gestures in the spoken performances of Donald Trump. In both cases, video footage of live campaign rallies held during the 2016 primaries is analysed. Pointing gestures directed inward, outward, upward and downward are shown to co-occur with different semantic and grammatical categories of speech and, as part of multimodal utterances, to perform various social-indexical and rhetorical functions characteristic of RWP. Shrug gestures are shown to take various forms with the most frequent making expansive use of the gesture space in a way normally associated with live entertainment rather than politics. Shrugs are shown to function as stance-taking acts in two domains, the epistemic and the affective, where they again serve in the multimodal realisation of rhetorical strategies associated with RWP.
