Belligerent Broadcasting: Synthetic argument in broadcast talk

By Michael Higgins, Angela Smith, Angela Smith

Book Overview

This book reflects upon and analyses the development of 'belligerent broadcasting' beginning with an examination of belligerence in its historical context and as an aspect of wider cultural concerns surrounding the retreat of civility. With attention to the various relations of power expressed in the various forms of belligerent conduct across a range of media genres, the authors explore its manifestation in political interviews, in the form of 'confrontation' in talk shows, in makeover television, as an 'authenthic' means of proffering opinion and as a form of sociability or banter.
