Introduction

This timely collection develops concepts and refines research methods to better understand contemporary strategies in political persuasion.

Analytical Framework

The book introduces an innovative analytical framework to explore dramaturgical rhetoric, applicable across various public arenas ranging from policy-making to current affairs media and activism.

Case Studies

It features a set of empirical case studies on political discourse from six European countries (Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Portugal, Russia) and draws on epistemic governance and cultural membership categorisation analysis to develop a new research field of political poetics.

Themes and Insights

The contributors to the volume deal with themes such as shifting evaluative scenes, interrelational identifications, temporal trajectories, and obliging moral address to provide new insights into moral casting.

Impact

The book enhances critical literacy in political interaction and offers scholars and students alike with valuable new perspectives to grasp the relationship between rhetoric and democracy in the era of post-truth politics.
