Sommario/riassunto

Die Metonymie kann als ein grundlegender Konzeptualisierungsmechanismus aufgefasst werden, der sich in der alltäglichen Sprache niederschlägt Es liegt nahe, dass ein solcher Mechanismus, der die Kontiguität zweier Konzepte hervorhebt, nicht ohne Wirkung auf die umgebenden Strukturen im Diskurs bleibt. Deshalb wurde anhand von Beispielausschnitten aus einem französischen Nachrichtenmagazin der bisher vernachlässigte diskursfunktionale Aspekt der Metonymie analysiert.Zum einen kann Metonymie Diskurskontinuität (als formale und konzeptuelle sukzessive Weiterführung einer Entität im Diskurs) unterstützen: Beim Einsatz von Metonymien in Zusammenhang mit Anaphern geht es meist darum, durch die formale Fortführung eines Ausdrucks und den Rückgriff auf informationsstrukturell Gegebenes mittels der indirekten Referenz der



Metonymie den Eindruck von Kontinuität herzustellen. Zum anderen können einzelne Metonymien eine der Argumentation des Diskurses entsprechende Perspektive und damit Kohärenz (als sinnvolle Verknüpfung zwischen den einzelnen im Diskurs evozierten Konzepten) erzeugen. Während eine kohärenzstiftende Funktion auch für die Metapher zu beobachten ist, bleibt die Herstellung von Diskurskontinuität der Metonymie vorbehalten.

Sommario/riassunto

This book brings together a collection of scholars whose work is leading the field of political entertainment studies, and yet it crosses methodological divides to do so, with quantitative and critical/cultural perspectives both represented. Indeed, each author worked as a part of a pair, addressing a similar topic as a colleague from across the divide. The result is a series of essays that add to and move beyond the state of political entertainment research--not only in content, but also in approach--by challenging readers to expand their thinking on these topics outside of the regular strictures. It begins with direct discussion of methodological divides in the field, as Michael Delli Carpini and Jeffrey P. Jones offer an essay, response, and further response. Following this initial, explicit tackling of methodology and what is at stake, Geoffrey Baym and Lindsay Hoffman each examine partisan



language and interviews in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, respectively; Lauren Feldman and Paul Brewer examine satirical treatments of science; Amber Day and Heather LaMarre address the importance of Stephen Colbert's Super PAC; Dannagal G. Young and Roderick Hart discuss The Daily Show's treatment of political participation, citizenship, and social protest; and finally, Megan Hill and R. Lance Holbert each wrestle with developing a normative approach to political satire. Read what scholars think!.

Sommario/riassunto

Spartacus (109?–71 bce), the slave who rebelled against Rome, has been a source of endless fascination, the subject of myth-making in his own time, and of movie-making in ours. Hard facts about the man have always yielded to romanticized tales and mystifications. In this riveting, compact account, Aldo Schiavone rescues Spartacus from the murky regions of legend and brings him squarely into the arena of serious history. Schiavone transports us to Italy of the first century bce, where the pervasive institution of slavery dominates all aspects of Roman life. In this historic landscape, carefully reconstructed by the author, we encounter Spartacus, who is enslaved after deserting from the Roman army to avoid fighting against his native Thrace. Imprisoned in Capua and trained as a gladiator, he leads an uprising that will shake the empire to its foundations. While the grandeur of the Spartacus story has always been apparent, its political significance has been less clear. What were his ambitions? Often depicted as the leader of a class rebellion that was fierce in intent but ragtag in makeup and organization, Spartacus emerges here in a very different light: the commander of an army whose aim was to incite Italy to revolt against Rome and to strike at the very heart of the imperial system. Surprising, persuasive, and highly original, Spartacus challenges the lore and illuminates the reality of a figure whose achievements, and whose ultimate defeat, are more extraordinary and moving than the fictions we make from them.
