Exciting intellectual frontiers are open for exploration as
agenda-setting theory moves beyond its 25th anniversary. This
volume offers an intriguing set of maps to guide this exploration
over the near future. It is intended for those who are already
reasonably well read in the research literature that has
accumulated since the publication of McCombs and Shaw's original
1972 "Public Opinion Quarterly" article. This piece of literature
documented the influence of the news media agenda on the public
agenda in a wide variety of geographic and social settings,
elaborated the characteristics of audiences and media that enhance
or diminish those agenda-setting effects, and cataloged those
exogenous factors explaining who sets the media's agenda. In the
current volume, a provocative set of maps for explicating new
levels of agenda-setting theory have been sketched by a new
generation of young scholars, launching an enterprise that has
significant implications for theoretical research and for the
day-to-day role of mass communication in democratic societies.
At the first level of agenda setting are agendas of "objects"--the
traditional domain of agenda setting research--represented by an
accumulation of hundreds of studies over the past quarter century.
At the second level of agenda setting are agendas of
"attributes"--one of the new theoretical frontiers whose aspects
are discussed in detail in the opening chapters. Other chapters
offer maps of yet other theoretical frontiers, including political
advertising agendas and their impact on behavior, the framing of
various agendas in the mass media and the differential impact of
print and TV, the theoretical role of individual differences in the
agenda-setting influence of the news media on the public agenda,
methodological advances for determining cause and effect roles in
agenda-setting, and the application of agenda-setting theory to
historical analysis. This volume is an invitation to others to
become active members of the invisible college of agenda-setting
scholarship. As such, the goals of this book are threefold:
* to introduce a broad set of ideas about agenda-setting;
* to enrich the exploration of these ideas by enhancing scholarly
dialogue among the members of this invisible college; and
* to enhance the discussion of agenda-setting research in seminars
and research groups around the world.
Agenda-setting has remained a vital and productive area of
communication research over a quarter century because it has
continued to introduce new research questions into the marketplace
of ideas and to integrate this work with other theoretical concepts
and perspectives about journalism and mass communication.
Understanding the dynamics of agenda- setting is central to
understanding the dynamics of contemporary democracy. This book's
set of theoretical essays, grounded in the accumulated literature
of agenda- setting theory and in the creative insights of young
scholars, will help lead the way toward that understanding.

A refreshing new interdisciplinary slant on magical realism as an
international literary phenomenon emerging from the trauma of
colonial dispossession. Companion to Magical Realism provides an
assessment of the world-wide impact of a movement which was
incubated in Germany, flourished in Latin America and then spread
to the rest of the world. It provides a set of up-to-date
assessments of the work of writers traditionally associated with
magical realism such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez [in particular his
recently published memoirs], Alejo Carpentier, Miguel ngel
Asturias, Juan Rulfo, Isabel Allende,Laura Esquivel and Salman
Rushdie, as well as bringing into the fold new authors such as W.B.
Yeats, Seamus Heaney, Jose Saramago, Dorit Rabinyan, Ovid, Maria
Luisa Bombal, Ibrahim al-Kawni, Mayra Montero, Nakagami Kenji, Jose
Eustasio Rivera and Elias Khoury, discussed for the first time in
the context of magical realism. Written in a jargon-free style, and
with all quotations translated into English, this book offers a
refreshing new interdisciplinary slant on magical realism as an
international literary phenomenon emerging from the trauma of
colonial dispossession. The companion also has a Guide to Further
Reading. Stephen Hart is Professor of Hispanic Studies, University
College London and Doctor Honoris Causa of the Universidad Nacional

Agendamelding: News, Social Media, Audiences, and Civic Community
builds on the premise that people construct civic community from
the information that they seek-as well as the information that
seeks them-to trace the processes by which we mix, or meld, agendas
from various sources into a coherent picture of the civic community
in which we live. Using the presidential elections of 2008, 2012,
and 2016, this book tests a formula that allows us to predict how
potential voters lean towards communities in which they feel
comfortable-for example, Republican, Democratic, or Independent.
These analyses take into account differences in the use of
traditional news media vs. social media among media consumers, as
well as varying levels of press freedom across national
populations.

A comprehensive survey of Spanish American fiction as it has
eveolved through successive phases. With such figures as Jorge Luis
Borges, Miguel Angel Asturias and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (both the
latter Nobel Prizewinners) Spanish American fiction is now
unquestionably an integral part of the mainstream of Western
literature.This book draws on the most recent research in
describing the origins and development of narrative in Spanish
America during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, tracing the
pattern from Romanticism and Realism, through Modernismo,
Naturalism and Regionalism to the Boom and beyond. It shows how,
while seldom moving completely away from satire, social criticism
and protest, Spanish American fiction has evolved through
successive phases in which both the conceptions of the writer's
task and presumptions about narrative and reality have undergone
radical alterations. DONALD SHAW holds the Brown Forman Chair of
Spanish American literature in the University of Virginia.
The principal developments in Spanish American poetry in the second
half of the twentieth century. Providing a basis for understanding
the main lines of development of poetry in Spanish America after
Vanguardism, this volume begins with an overview of the situation
at the mid-century: the later work of Neruda and Borges, the
emergence of Paz. Consideration is then given to the decisive
impact of Parra and the rise of colloquial poetry, politico-social
poetry [Dalton, Cardenal] and representative figures such as
Orozco, Pacheco and Cisneros. Theaim is to establish a few paths
through the largely unmapped jungle of Spanish American poetry in
the time period. The author emphasises the persistence of a
generally negative view of the human condition and the poets'
exploration of different ways of responding to it. These vary from
outright scepticism to the ideological, the religious or those
derived from some degree of confidence in the creative imagination
as cognitive. At the same time there is analysis of the evolving
outlook on poetry of the writers in question, both in regard to its
possible social role and in regard to diction. DONALD SHAW holds
the Brown Forman Chair of Spanish American literature in the
University of Virginia.

What happened in Spanish American fiction after the Boom? Can we
define the Post-Boom? What are its characteristics? How does it
relate to the Boom itself? Is Post-Boom the same as Postmodernism
or something quite different? Shaw traces the emergence of a
different kind of writing which began to displace the Boom in the
mid-1970s and has flourished ever since. More reader-friendly, more
concerned with the here and now of Latin America, the writers of
the Post-Boom have explored new areas of Spanish American life and
incorporated characters from new social groups, especially young
working-class and lower middle-class figures with their distinctive
"pop" culture and freewheeling life-style. Shaw suggests that,
while some Boom writers have moved toward the Post-Boom, Post-Boom
narrative is distinctively different from that of the older
movement and cannot be readily assimilated into Postmodernism.
