Governing Codes - Gender, Metaphor, And Political Identity

Informationen zum Autor By Karrin Vasby Anderson and Kristina Horn Sheeler Klappentext Governing Codes examines the political identity of four contemporary U.S. political figures-Democrats Ann Richards and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republicans Christine Todd Whitman and Elizabeth Dole-illustrating how metaphor plays a central role in the construction of public identity in U.S. politics. Anderson and Sheeler analyze how familiar narratives and stereotypes about women and power often govern media portrayals of public women, containing and constraining them, but also how these women mine the metaphorical landscape for rhetorical strategies they can use to accomplish their pragmatic goals.
