title = {Pathways of Political Narratives: Populist Rhetoric, the Supreme Court and the (Im)balance of Power},
year = {2018},
note = {Using the January 2018 Press Conference by the four Supreme Court
Justices as an entry point, the paper proposes that Parliamentary
discourse, an oft-ignored pulse of the political narrative, is a
relevant window into studying how the legislature perceives the
judiciary, and the Supreme Court in particular. It attempts to analyse
through various examples, how the institutions - the Supreme Court of
India, and the Parliament of India, perceive themselves and therefore
each other, assuming that in a rhetorical network of what constitutes
a democracy, these intersubjective interactions between the
institutions matter. Using the theoretical framework of discursive
institutionalism, the paper attempts a discourse analysis of the
symbolic and rhetorical relationship established between the
Parliament as a symbolically representative institution and the
Supreme Court of India, in order to decode whether the Supreme Court
of India is (at all) in a crisis.},
