The author places the practice of ekphrasis within its cultural context, emphasising the importance of the visual imagination in ancient responses to rhetoric, poetry and historiography. By linking the theoretical writings on ekphrasis with ancient theories of imagination and emotion and language, she brings out the persuasive and emotive function of vivid languagEkphrasisRhetoric, AncientEkphrasis.Rhetoric, Ancient.808/.0481809.93357Webb Ruth1963-1934486MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911108414503321Ekphrasis, imagination and persuasion in ancient rhetorical theory and practice4684954UNINA03933nam 2200685 a 450 991114339920332120251117092537.09781283834636128383463497808032448560803244851(CKB)2670000000276963(EBL)1073753(OCoLC)818851685(SSID)ssj0000756409(PQKBManifestationID)11450805(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000756409(PQKBWorkID)10750300(PQKB)10356670(MiAaPQ)EBC1073753(OCoLC)820785255(MdBmJHUP)muse19585(Au-PeEL)EBL1073753(CaPaEBR)ebr10627603(CaONFJC)MIL414713(Perlego)4519015(EXLCZ)99267000000027696320120627d2012 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccr"Muy buenas noches" Mexico, television, and the Cold War /Celeste González de Bustamante ; foreword by Richard Cole1st ed.Lincoln University of Nebraska Press20121 online resource (315 p.)The Mexican experienceDescription based upon print version of record.9780803240100 0803240104 Includes bibliographical references and index.Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Illustrations; List of Tables; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1 The Rise of Television in Mexico; 2 The Invention of Tele-Traditions; 3 Rebels and Revolutionaries; 4 The First Television Diplomats; 5 Hot Rockets and Cold War; 6 Olympic Dreams and Tlatelolco Nightmares; 7 Victory for the Brazilians and Echeverría; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; Index"By the end of the twentieth century, Mexican multimedia conglomerate Televisa stood as one of the most powerful media companies in the world. Most scholars have concluded that the company's success was owed in large part to its executives who walked in lockstep with the government and the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), which ruled for seventy-one years. At the same time, government decisions regulating communications infrastructure aided the development of the television industry. In one of the first books to be published in English on Mexican television, Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante argues that despite the cozy relationship between media moguls and the PRI, these connections should not be viewed as static and without friction. Through an examination of early television news programs, this book reveals the tensions that existed between what the PRI and government officials wanted to be reported and what was actually reported and how. Further, despite the increasing influence of television on society, viewers did not always accept or agree with what they saw on the air. Television news programming played an integral role in creating a sense of lo mexicano (that which is Mexican) at a time of tremendous political, social, and cultural change. At its core the book grapples with questions about the limits of cultural hegemony at the height of the PRI and the cold war.
