Overview"""Deeds Done in Words is an impressive piece of work. It is the first attempt to identify and assess the principal genres of rhetoric, and to interpret the panoply of those genres in terms of the needs of, and the needs for, ritual in American politics.""--Jeffrey Tulis, author of The Rhetorical Presidency ""Deeds Done in Words is a thoughtful survey of how a democracy uses language to transact its business. Based on an enlivened understanding of genre theory and on numerous pieces of original criticism, Campbell and Jamieson vividly show how central public discourse has become the lifeblood of the American polity.""--Roderick Hart, author of The Sound of Leadership ""The rhetoric that issues from the White House is becoming an ever more salient part of what the presidency means and does. This acute inquiry provides a great many insights into the forms, meanings, and functions of presidential discourse. It is an enlightening contribution to our understanding of American politics.""--Murray Edelman, author of Constructing the Political Spectacle" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Karlyn Kohrs Campbell , Kathleen Hall JamiesonPublisher: The University of Chicago Press Imprint: University of Chicago Press Dimensions: Width: 15.70cm , Height: 2.10cm , Length: 23.60cm Weight: 0.502kg ISBN: 9780226092416ISBN 10: 0226092410 Pages: 286 Publication Date: 15 June 1990 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Stock Indefinitely Availability: Awaiting stock Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationKarlyn Kohrs Campbell is professor of communication studies at the University of Minnesota.
