Description

Understand how the language and symbolism used by cultural institutions shape our perception of political reality. This book examines the power of rhetoric across various sectors of society, from the 30-second sound bites used in political campaigns to the legal rhetoric that defines our social roles and values. Drawing on the ideas of Murray Edelman, the text explores how television news, newspapers, and magazines create a series of pictures in the mind that influence how we view the world. By analyzing the official rhetoric of bureaucracies and the way slogans are delivered, readers gain insight into how social problems are legitimized and how political meaning is constructed. Written by leading political scientists, lawyers, and philosophers, this work provides a deep look into the communicative structures of our culture. It is an essential resource for those studying how communication and symbols drive political thought and social perception.
