During the past 30 years, there have been a steadily increasing
number of scientific and popular publications dealing with lying
and deception. Questions about the extent to which public officials
are deceptive are standard fare in current magazines and
newspapers. This volume aims to present on a more precise
conceptualization of this phenomenon, manifested in some well-known
constructions like spin, hype, doublespeak, equivocation, and
contextomy (quoting out of context).
The contents of the volume have been generated for the New
Agendas symposium at the University of Texas College of
Communication, and all the authors are young, leading-edge
researchers offering innovative perspectives and explorations of
lying and deception in various contexts. This volume will appeal to
scholars, researchers, and advanced/graduate students in
communication, media, and psychology. It is written to the level of
advanced undergraduates, and it is appropriate for use in courses
covering lying and deception.
