Rhetorical Republic brings together some of the most imaginative
theorists from the fields of politics and literature to reflect on
how practices of representation in popular culture, the news media,
and the law have come to constitute the primary instruments of
political governance in the United States. The editors argue that
today the struggle over the representation of politics is at least
as important as the struggle over power as it has been
traditionally conceived. Discussing topics as diverse as Ronald
Reagan's nose and its role in the Iran/Contra scandal, the
impermanence of the trope of national security, and the prospect
for a reembodied liberalism, Rhetorical Republic surveys the
American scene with creativity and rigor. The result is an
unprecedented analysis, critique, and prescriptive study of the
United States as a postmodern polity in which attention to
representation, in the broadest and most heterodox sense of the
term, is fundamental to understanding American governance.
