Strategic Conspiracy Narratives - A Semiotic Approach (Paperback): Mari-Liis Madisson, Andreas Ventsel Strategic Conspiracy Narratives - A Semiotic Approach (Paperback)
Mari-Liis Madisson, Andreas Ventsel
R1,293 Discovery Miles 12 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Strategic Conspiracy Narratives proposes an innovative semiotic perspective for analysing how contemporary conspiracy theories are used for shaping interpretation paths and identities of a targeted audience. Conspiracy theories play a significant role in the viral spread of misinformation that has an impact on the formation of public opinion about certain topics. They allow the connecting of different events that have taken place in various times and places and involve several actors that seem incompatible to bystanders. This book focuses on strategic-function conspiracy narratives in the context of (social) media and information conflict. It explicates the strategic devices in how conspiracy theories can be used to evoke a hermeneutics of suspicion - a permanent scepticism and questioning of so-called mainstream media channels and dominant public authorities, delegitimisation of political opponents, and the ongoing search for hidden clues and coverups. The success of strategic dissemination of conspiracy narratives depends on the cultural context, specifics of the targeted audience and the semiotic construction of the message. This book proposes an innovative semiotic perspective for analysing contemporary strategic communication. The authors develop a theoretical framework that is based on semiotics of culture, the notions of strategic narrative and transmedia storytelling. This book is targeted to specialists and graduate students working on social theory, semiotics, journalism, strategic communication, social media and contemporary social problems in general.

Introducing Relational Political Analysis - Political Semiotics as a Theory and Method (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Peeter Selg,... Introducing Relational Political Analysis - Political Semiotics as a Theory and Method (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Peeter Selg, Andreas Ventsel
R3,465 Discovery Miles 34 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book introduces relational thinking to political analysis. Instead of merely providing an overview of possible trajectories for articulating a relational political analysis, Peeter Selg and Andreas Ventsel put forth a concrete relational theory of the political, which has implications for research methodology, culminating in a concrete method they call political form analysis. In addition, they sketch out several applications of this theory, methodology and method. They call their approach "political semiotics" and argue that it is a fruitful way of conducting research on power, governance and democracy - the core dimensions of the political - in a manner that is envisioned in numerous discussions of the "relational turn" in the social sciences. It is the first monograph that attempts to outline an approach to the political that would be relational throughout, from its meta theoretical and theoretical premises through to its methodological implications, methods and empirical applications.

Constructing Political Identities in Public Discourse of Stalin Era (Paperback): Andreas Ventsel Constructing Political Identities in Public Discourse of Stalin Era (Paperback)
Andreas Ventsel
R1,293 Discovery Miles 12 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book "CONSTRUCTING POLITICAL IDENTITIES IN PUBLIC DISCOURSE OF STALIN ERA. The mechanism of the cult of the leadership in construction of "Soviet people"" focuses on the problem of political identities. How these were created by power in public media on the period 1940-1953, it began with the occupation of the Republic of Estonia by the Soviet Union and ended with the death of Stalin. The theoretical goal of this book is to create a theoretical-conceptual framework, based on the idea of an I-centred constitution of the pronoun "we" as put forth by the French linguist Emile Benveniste. Latter is further developed with the conception of "the people" drawn from Ernesto Laclau, one of today's most renowned theorists of hegemony and the leading figure of the Essex school of discourse theory, and Juri Lotman's ideas in semiotics of culture. The analyzed material is composed of the largest daily newspapers Paevaleht (issues from 1938, 1939 and 1940) and Rahva Haal (issues from 1940 to 1941 and issues from 1944 to 1953). The essential part of the sources is formed of speeches of the politicians published in the press and of the editorials of the daily newspapers."
