Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Informed by critical discourse analysis, this purpose of this study was to examine presidential transitions in the U.S. Van Leeuwen's Social Actor Approach was used as the conceptual framework to understand how texts are used to recreate, shape and transform a social practice, such as college and university presidential leadership during times of transition.Data, covering presidential transitions in 2015 and 2016, were collected from The Chronicle of Higher Education. Data were analyzed using a three-phase analytic process that helped identify patterns and themes in the articles to uncover social actors (images) of college and university presidents in transition. The process also allowed for an analysis of the discursive structures at play, leading to findings of predominant discourses of professionalism, femininity, masculinity, and autonomy, giving rise to images of college and university presidents that remain traditional, masculine and at times heroic. Further, the intersection of discourses and images come together through our discussions to make visible discursive tensions between the president of yesteryear and the president of today/future. Implications and recommendations for practice are discussed.

Download or read book The Great American Scaffold written by Frank Austermühl and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive quantitative and qualitative analyses of a corpus of American presidential speeches that includes all inaugural addresses and State of the Union messages from 1789 to 2008, as well as major foreign and security policy speeches after 1945, this research monograph analyzes the various forms and functions of intertextual references found in the discourse of American presidents. Working within an original, interdisciplinary theoretical framework established by theories of intertextuality, discourse analysis, and presidential studies, the book discusses five different types of presidential intertextuality, all of which contribute jointly to creating a set of carefully manipulated and politically powerful images of both the American nation and the American presidency. The book is intended for scholars and students in political and presidential studies, communications, American cultural studies, and linguistics, as well as anyone interested in the American presidency in general.

Download or read book Educational Transitions in Post Revolutionary Spaces written by Tavis D. Jules and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces explores the transformation of the education system in Tunisia following the Jasmine Revolution, the first of a wave of revolutions known as the Arab Spring. The authors provide a detailed account of how Tunisia's robust education system shaped and sparked the conflict as educated youth became disgruntled with their economic conditions. Exploring themes such as radicalization, gender, activism and social media, the chapters map out the steps occurring during transitions from authoritarian rule to democracy. Educational Transitions in Post-Revolutionary Spaces traces the origins of the conflict and revolution in societal issues, including unemployment, inequality and poverty, and explores how Islam and security influenced the transition. The book not only offers a thorough understanding of the role of youth in the revolution and how they were shaped by Tunisia's educational system. Crucially, it provides a comprehensive understating of theoretical and methodological insights needed to study educational transitions in other post-revolutionary contexts.

Download or read book Talking with the President written by John Wilson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a pragmatic analysis of presidential language. Pragmatics is concerned with "meaning in context," or the relationship between what we say and what we mean. John Wilson explores the various ways in which U.S. Presidents have used language within specific social contexts to achieve specific objectives. This includes obfuscation, misdirection, the use of metaphor or ambiguity, or in some cases simply lying. He focuses on six presidents: John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald W. Reagan, William F. Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack H. Obama. These presidents cover most of the last half of the twentieth century, and the first decade of the twenty first century, and each has been associated with a specific linguistic quality. John F. Kennedy was famed for his quality of oratory, Nixon for his manipulative use of language, Reagan for his gift of telling stories, Clinton for his ability to engage the public and to linguistically turn arguments and descriptions in particular directions. Bush, on the other hand, was famed for his inability to use language appropriately, and Obama returns us to the rhetorical flourishes of early Kennedy. In the case of each president, a range of specific examples are explored in order to highlight the ways in which a pragmatic analysis may provide an insight into presidential language. In many cases, what the president says is not necessarily what the president means.
Download or read book Projecting the Future Through Political Discourse written by Patricia L. Dunmire and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines the rhetorical nature and function of representations of the future in political discourse, focusing on political actors use of hegemonic images of future reality to achieve their political goals. It argues that a key ideological dimension of political rhetoric lies in politicians use of projections of the future to legitimate policies and actions. This argument is grounded in systemic-functional and critical discourse analyses of the Bush Doctrine, the U.S. policy response to the September 11 terrorist attacks which sanctioned a preemptive military posture. By focusing on the discursive construction of the future, this project addresses a lacunae in critical discourse studies and calls attention to the crucial role that the discourse and practice of futurology has played in post-Cold War politics and society. It will be of value to scholars interested in the discourses of politics, the war on terror, U.S. national security, and futurology."
