Abstract:

Spotlighting case studies of manipulation practices at the onset of
the Covid-19 crisis in different countries and socio-political
circumstances, the authors expose context-specific discourse and
argumentation strategies of 'infodemics’ (misleading information and
fake news), public policy mismanagement, deceptive online and offline
communication tactics, and conspiracy narratives, which end up
disrupting community social cohesion. In addition to targeting
manipulation-driven dissent across discourse genres through
corpus-based investigations, a major strength of this volume consists
in debunking manipulation while foregrounding compelling acts of
counter-manipulation.

The volume’s breadth of topics, depth of analytical insights and range
of methodological frameworks provide unique perspectives by capturing
crisis-related manipulations across a worldwide political and cultural
spectrum (Austria, Brazil, China, the Czech Republic, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States), with a focus on
the scale and extent of multifaceted repercussions. Reaching beyond
the boundaries of pragmatics and discourse analysis, this book should
be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners of rhetoric,
argumentation, media studies, social and political sciences.
