Encompassing five continents and twenty centuries, this book puts
ruler personality cults on the crossroads of disciplines rarely, if
ever, juxtaposed before: among its authors are historians,
linguists, media scholars, political scientists and communication
sociologists from Europe, the United States and New Zealand.
However, this breadth and versatility are not goals in themselves.
Rather, they are the means to work out an integrated approach to
personality cults, capable of overcoming both the dominance of
much-discussed 20th century poster examples
(Bolshevism-Nazism-Fascism) and the lack of interest in the related
practices of leader adoration in religious and cultural contexts.
Instead of reiterating the understandable but unfruitful fixation
on rulers as the cults' focal points, the authors focus on
communicative patterns and interactional chains linking rulers with
their subjects: in this light, the adoration of political figures
is seen as a collective enterprise impossible without active, if
often tacit, collaboration between rulers and their constituencies.
