Collateral Language - A User's Guide to America's New War (Paperback): John Collins, Ross Glover Collateral Language - A User's Guide to America's New War (Paperback)
John Collins, Ross Glover
R692 Discovery Miles 6 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Terrorism, jihad, fundamentalism, blowback. These and other highly charged terms have saturated news broadcasts and everyday conversation since September 11th. But to keen ears their meanings change depending upon who's doing the talking. So what do these words really mean? And what are people trying to say when they use them?

Each of the thirteen essays in Collateral Language offers an informed perspective on a particular word or phrase that serves as a building block in the edifice of post-World Trade Center rhetoric. In some cases this involves a systematic examination of the term in question (e.g. "anthrax" or "unity")its historical roots, the development of its meaning and usage in the U.S. over time, and its employment in the current context. In other cases authors provide a set of more philosophical or autobiographical reflections on a particular idea (e.g. "vital interests" or "evil"), suggesting a need to consider the ethical and moral implications of using the concept uncritically. In every instance, however, the overriding goal is to give the reader a set of practical tools to analyze the political language that surrounds all of us at this critical point in our nation's history.

Witty, informative and highly readable, Collateral Language is a lexicon of political terminology and an indispensable tool for understanding the current conflict.

"TaylortlYtltem" ist ein Schlagwort von hasslichem Klang ge worden und seine amerikanische Herkunft wird besonders nach diesem Kriege nicht dazu beitragen, ihm Sympathien zu werben. _\llein hier handelt es sich nicht um Sympathien und Antipathien, sondern um das, was uns notig und nutzlich ist, mag es auch von Fremden oder Feinden stammen. Doch nicht darum soll die Bezeichnung Taylorsystem durch das indifferente: Wissenschaftliche Betriebsfuhrung verdrangt werden. - Die letztere Bezeichnung sagt mehr. Taylor war nur der Kunder einer Lehre, die viel umfassender. und - viel alter ist als seine Junger gemeinhin anerkennen wollen. In einer ganzen Reihe von Fabriken hatten wir lange vor Taylor wissenschaftliche Betriebsfuhrung. Allein dies so wenig wie die Abneigung der Arbeiter und der offentlichen Meinung darf uns den Blick ab lenken von der neuen Lehre, die druben verkundet wird. Der Amerikaner ist bei all seiner nuchternen Berechnung Phantast. In allen Dingen; mag es sich nun um Politik, Religion, Technik oder Finanzen handeln. Stets strebt er nach dem. Grossten. The biggest, das muss werden, was er anpackt. In einem uns viel leicht kindlich erscheinenden Idealismus ubersieht er dabei alle Grenzen und Moglichkeiten und - uberschreitet sie. So ent standen die Wolkenkratzer und all das Wolkenkratzermassige in diesem Lande."
