The Performative Presidency brings together literatures describing
presidential leadership strategies, public understandings of
citizenship, and news production and media technologies between the
presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and Bill Clinton, and details
how the relations between these spheres have changed over time.
Jason L. Mast demonstrates how interactions between leaders,
publics, and media are organized in a theatrical way, and argues
that mass mediated plot formation and character development play an
increasing role in structuring the political arena. He shows
politics as a process of ongoing performances staged by motivated
political actors, mediated by critics, and interpreted by
audiences, in the context of a deeply rooted, widely shared system
of collective representations. The interdisciplinary framework of
this book brings together a semiotic theory of culture with
concepts from the burgeoning field of performance studies.
