Post-Truth and Political Discourse

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between discourse and the propagation of ignorance, this book employs Critical Discourse Studies to analyze the rise of anti-intellectualism and post-truth narratives. It examines the influence of social media and emotional rhetoric on public perception, with case studies including Donald Trump and Brexit, while also delving into corruption within the Spanish conservative party. The innovative theoretical framework blends critical discourse analysis with political insights, offering valuable perspectives for scholars and general readers interested in political communication and sociolinguistics.
