Doing politics : discursivity, performativity and mediation in political discourse / edited by Michael Kranert and Geraldine Horan.

"This edited volume explores the discursive, performative and mediated dimensions of contemporary political discourse. The strengths of the volume are manifold: it contains cutting edge interdisciplinary research on political discourses by international authors (UK, USA, Italy, Germany, Austria, Denmark) in political science, discourse linguistic and social interaction research. The contributions represent a wide range of methodological approaches to political discourse, analyzing a broad variety of genres, some of which have not been analyzed to-date, for example Wikipedia articles or the interaction between politicians and voters in the constituency office of a British Member of Parliament. The contributions also focus on political discourses of high and relevant topicality, such as EU membership of Britain, populism, migration and xenophobia, terrorism and narratives in international relations. The volume will complement and expand on existing publications in the fields of political discourse analysis, critical linguistics, politics, political theory, communication and media studies"-- Provided by publisher.
