Abstract:

This book presents a unique perspective into the investigation and analysis of
public discourses, such as those of the environment, politics, and social
media, springing from issues of key relevance to contemporary society,
including the War on Terror, the ‘Arab Spring’, and the climate-change debate.
Employing a qualitative approach, and drawing on data which comprises both
written and spoken discourses, including policy documents, political speeches,
press conferences, blog entries, informational leaflets, and corporate
reports, the book puts forward a unique theoretical framework, that of the
Discourse of Illusion. The research draws on discourse analysis, in order to
develop and implement a multi-perspective framework that allows a closer look
at the intentions of the producer/actor of various discourses, power struggles
within social domains, in addition to the socio-political and historical
contexts which influence the individual repositories of experience that create
multiple, often contesting, arguments on controversial issues, consequently
giving rise to discursive illusions.
