Abstract:

The volume explores crisis rhetoric in contemporary U.S. American presidential
speechmaking. Rhetorical leadership constitutes an inherent feature of the
modern presidency. Particularly during times of critical events, the president
is expected to react and address the nation. However, the power of the office
also allows him or her to direct attention to particular topics and thus
rhetorically create or exploit the notion of crisis. This monograph examines
the verbal responses of George W. Bush and Barack Obama to pressing issues
during their terms in office. Assuming an interdisciplinary approach, it
illuminates the characteristics of modern crisis rhetoric. The aim of the book
is to show that elements of Puritan rhetoric, and specifically the tradition
of the jeremiad, although taken out of their original context and modified to
suit a modern multiethnic society, can still be detected in contemporary
political communication. It will be of interest to students and scholars of
presidential rhetoric, political communication, sociolinguistics, and cultural
studies.
