Constructing the Political Spectacle
5.00 · 1 rating
Description
In this incisive study of political communication, the author examines how news reporting, public symbols, and dramatic political performances shape the realities people accept as fact. The book reveals how political spectacles can command attention, organize public sentiment, and exercise social control—often without those involved fully recognizing the process. Drawing on social and political analysis, it explores the gap between visible events and the meanings constructed around them, offering a critical perspective on media, power, and public life.
