Description
Latest in Edelman's series exploring the role of symbols in political life, this volume examines the powerful social control that is exercised, largely unconsciously, through the manipulation of symbolism used in constructing the political spectacle. Defining the social construction constituted by news reporting a "political spectacle," Edelman argues that the actors in the spectacle get caught up in it and are avidly taken in by it. He describes how news constructs political realities for individuals and for society. ISBN 0-226-18399-8 (pbk.): $7.95.
