Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories: A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective shows how language influences mechanisms of cognition perception and belief and by extension its power to manipulate thoughts and beliefs. This exciting and original work is the first to apply cognitive linguistics to the analysis of political lies and conspiracy theories both of which have flourished in the internet age and which many argue are threatening democracy. It unravels the verbal mechanisms that make these different truths so effective and proliferative dissecting the verbal structures (metaphor irony connotative implications etc. ) of a variety of real-life cases concerning politicians conspiracy theorists and influencers. Marcel Danesi goes on to demonstrate how these linguistic structures switch on or switch off alternative mind worlds. This book is essential reading for students of cognitive linguistics and will enrich the studies of any student or researcher in language and linguistics more broadly as well as discourse analysis rhetoric or political science. | Politics Lies and Conspiracy Theories A Cognitive Linguistic Perspective

The Transformation of Egypt (RLE Egypt)

The Transformation of Egypt (RLE Egypt)

The assassination of Sadat brings to an end another era in Egyptian history. This book examines the crucial issues in the transformation of Egypt in the period between the death of Nasser and the murder of Sadat. Focusing on the upheavals in the Egyptian political and economic structure over the last twenty years the book explains the change in Egypt's international orientation through a careful examination of domestic factors. The switch from Nasser's state socialist-political economy to Sadat's more laissez-faire approach and the institutional and structural links between the two are analysed as the key to understanding the dynamic developments within Egypt. The book argues that the propagation of a new political economy was the primary basis of Sadat's ability to remain in power while the weaknesses in that economy drove Sadat to seek external solutions and ultimately undermined his domestic support. His conduct of the 1973 war his trip to Jerusalem his enthusiasm for the United States and his whole perception of Middle Eastern affairs must be seen in terms of his domestic policies and internal troubles.

The Beatles and Film From Youth Culture to Counterculture

The Beatles and Film From Youth Culture to Counterculture

This concise yet comprehensive study explores the emblematic journey by four young men from Liverpool from the epicentre of teen-led youth culture to the experimentation of the counterculture and beyond. Beginning with the celebration of Britain’s own ‘youthquake’ in the joyous and genre-shifting A Hard Day’s Night (1964) the author delves into how the Beatles’ film work allows us to chart their subsequent musical maturation and retreat from the tribulations of stardom in Help! their tentative attempts at improvised filming in the televised Magical Mystery Tour (1967) their acceptance of cartoon representations as leaders of the hippie counterculture in Yellow Submarine (1968) and the final implosion of their musical dynamic in the recording studios of Let It Be (1970). The book analyses how as they grew with their fanbase the Beatles’ films alternate stylistically between mimetic representation and allegorical interpretation and switch narratively between fan-filled and welcoming worlds to films relaying introspection and isolation. Offering an in-depth case study of the successes and failures of British youth culture in a volatile decade The Beatles and Film is an engaging text for both scholars and general readers alike. | The Beatles and Film From Youth Culture to Counterculture
