Speaking With The People'S Voice - How Presidents Invoke Public Opinion

by Jeffrey P. Mehltretter Drury

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>The role of public opinion in American democracy has been a central concern of scholars who frequently examine how public opinion influences policy makers and how politicians, especially presidents, try to shape public opinion. But in <I>Speaking with the People’s Voice: How Presidents Invoke Public Opinion</I>, Jeffrey P. Mehltretter Drury asks a different question that adds an important new dimension to the study of public opinion: How do presidents rhetorically use public opinion in their speeches?<BR /><BR />In a careful analysis supported by case studies and discrete examples, Drury develops the concept of "invoked public opinion" to study the modern presidents’ use of public opinion as a rhetorical resource. He defines the term as "the rhetorical representation of the beliefs and values of US citizens."<BR /><BR /><I>Speaking with the People’s Voice</I> considers both the strategic and democratic value of invoked public opinion by analyzing how modern presidents argumentatively deploy references to the beliefs and values of US citizens as persuasive appeals as well as acts of political representation in their nationally televised speeches.</DIV>

Rhetoric Of Heroic Expectations - Establishing The Obama Presidency

by Jennifer Mercieca e Justin S. Vaughn

19,86€ + 10% CARD

 <DIV>Campaign rhetoric helps candidates to get elected, but its effects last well beyond the counting of the ballots; this was perhaps never truer than in Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. Did Obama create such high expectations that they actually hindered his ability to enact his agenda? Should we judge his performance by the scale of the expectations his rhetoric generated, or against some other standard? <I>The Rhetoric of Heroic Expectations: Establishing the Obama Presidency</I> grapples with these and other important questions.<BR /><BR />Barack Obama’s election seemed to many to fulfill Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the "long arc of the moral universe . . . bending toward justice." And after the terrorism, war, and economic downturn of the previous decade, candidate Obama’s rhetoric cast broad visions of a change in the direction of American life. In these and other ways, the election of 2008 presented an especially strong example of creating expectations that would shape the public’s views of the incoming administration. The public’s high expectations, in turn, become a part of any president’s burden upon assuming office.<BR /><BR />The interdisciplinary scholars who have contributed to this volume focus their analysis upon three kinds of presidential burdens: institutional burdens (specific to the office of the presidency); contextual burdens (specific to the historical moment within which the president assumes office); and personal burdens (specific to the individual who becomes president).</DIV>
