Scholars in many of the disciplines surrounding politics explicitly
utilize either a narrative perspective or a metaphor perspective
(though rarely the two in combination) to analyze issues --
theoretical and practical, domestic and international -- in the
broad field of politics. Among the topics they have studied are:
competing metaphors for the state or nation which have been coined
over the centuries in diverse cultures; the frequency with which
communal and international conflicts are generated, at least in
part, by the clashing religious and historical narratives held by
opposing groups; the cognitive short-cuts employing metaphor by
which citizens make sense of politics; the need for political
candidates to project a convincing self-narrative; the extent to
which the metaphors used to formulate social issues determine the
policies which will be developed to resolve them; the failure of
narratives around the security of the nation to take account of the
individual experiences of women and children. This volume is the
first in which eminent scholars from disciplines as diverse as
social psychology, anthropology, political theory, international
relations, feminist political science, and media studies, have
sought to integrate the narrative and the metaphor perspectives on
politics. It will appeal to any scholar interested in the many ways
in which narrative and metaphor function in combination as
cognitive and rhetorical instruments in discourse around politics.
