Opis

This book examines deformative transparency and its different manifestations in political communication, propaganda and public health.

Recenzje

"This book illustrates commonly used discourses of extremists, radicals, and organizations advocating for difficult causes. Emergent communication technologies enhance the outrageous character of images and metaphorical expressions aimed to capture the imagination, attention, and interest of distracted and increasingly fragmented audiences. Dr. Nahon-Serfaty’s strong academic and professional authority adds legitimacy to this innovative scholarship." -Juan-Carlos Molleda, University of Florida, USA
