AB  - The forms of political populism that are flourishing around the world, in extreme rightwing
versions, but also in left-wing versions, are often dismissed as ignorance, fake
news, and demagoguery. However, those analyses often focus only on the content of
the claims made by populist leaders rather than on the forms of «veridiction» and the
ethical practices and forms that constitute «populism». In this article some theoretical
tools borrowed from Foucault’s diverse work on «veridiction» and truth-telling, and
also from Adorno’s 1960s critique of existentialism, are deployed to try to understand
the forms and techniques that constitute populist leaders as «authentic» and thus as
close to the people and as not contaminated by discredited institutions. Authenticity is
created through very specific forms of truth-telling, as is shown with the example of the
late mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford.
