Abstract:

This monograph examines the rhetorical nature and function of 
representations of the future in political discourse, focusing on political 
actors' use of hegemonic images of future "reality" to achieve their 
political goals. It argues that a key ideological dimension of political 
rhetoric lies in politicians' use of projections of the future to legitimate 
policies and actions. This argument is grounded in systemic-functional 
and critical discourse analyses of the "Bush Doctrine," the U.S. policy 
response to the September 11 terrorist attacks which sanctioned a 
"preemptive" military posture. By focusing on the discursive construction 
of the future, this project addresses a lacunae in critical discourse 
studies and calls attention to the crucial role that the discourse and 
practice of "futurology" has played in post-Cold War politics and society. 
It will be of value to scholars interested in the discourses of politics, the 
"war on terror," U.S. national security, and futurology.
