商品簡介
Chilton bridges the study of language and politics reintroducing Hobbes into the discourse as a foundation for understanding how metaphor functions in political activity for purposes of legitimacy, control, negotiation, and diplomacy. If all this sounds a bit deconstructionist, it is. But the author dedicates himself to using the structuralists' language without abstracting the thesis to non-existence and so is able to give useful analysis on the concepts of the Cold War, its reconceptualization, and also address the larger issues of how security is conceived (metaphorically speaking) in a post-Cold War society.
