More about the book
Focusing on linguistic strategies, the book explores how public communication constructs threats and generates fear across various domains, including political and media discourse. It analyzes the manipulation of perceptions of closeness and remoteness tied to fear, security, and conflict. Through case studies, it illustrates how leaders use fear appeals to legitimize preventive policies and mobilize social action. This investigation is particularly relevant in today's globalized context, appealing to those in linguistics, discourse analysis, media communication, and social sciences.
