Utilizing the extensive C-SPAN Video Library, the book compiles ten scholarly papers examining partisan rhetoric, political discourse, and social divides in modern American governance. Topics include congressional debates on abortion, the framing of the January 6 insurrection, digital communication trends in Congress, and the emotional dynamics of televised debates. Edited by Robert X. Browning, this collection provides insights into political communication through advanced research methodologies, such as multimodal deep learning and content analysis. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, political scientists, and students interested in understanding the complexities of political polarization and media influence. |
