商品簡介
Deadly Documents explores the role of texts in organizational processes. Rhetorical, visual, and discursive analyses of everyday Nazi documents show how texts functioned as “boundary objects” on which competing interests could project their own interpretations and temporarily collude in the Final Solution. Concluding chapters explore ethical implications for professional communication.
