Abstract:
|
This study examines how images of the American electorate were deployed subsequent to the September 11, 2001 terrorism incident and during the Clinton impeachment. Using transcripts of House proceedings (as well as news coverage and campaign addresses), content analysis was conducted to discover how the electorate was summoned forth. Keying on use of the collective token the American people, inspection of the Roles, Actions, Qualities and Circumstances ascribed to the People was made, and the time-orientation and the forces aligned against the People were also noted. The results show that (1) both crises resulted in greater concentration on the electorate than did campaign rhetoric; (2) they differed from one another as well, with the impeachment featuring a contentious electorate and the September 11 texts identifying the people's psychological strengths and anxieties; (3) both crises were also affected by exongenous factors, partisanship in the case of impeachment, the passage of time for the terrorism incident. |
