Dis­course and polit­i­cal cul­ture: The lan­guage of the Third Way in Ger­many and the UK
This book presents a new approach to com­par­a­tive politi­co-lin­guis­tic dis­course analy­sis. It takes a trans­dis­ci­pli­nary stance and com­bines ana­lyt­i­cal tools from lin­guis­tic dis­course analy­sis (key­words, metaphors, argu­men­ta­tion, genre) and polit­i­cal sci­ence (polit­i­cal cul­ture, com­par­a­tive pol­i­tics, ide­olo­gies). It is com­pre­hen­sive in its intro­duc­tion of approach­es from the Ger­man tra­di­tion of politi­co-lin­guis­tics. This tra­di­tion has not, thus far, been acces­si­ble to a non-Ger­man speak­ing read­er­ship and hence the vol­ume adds insights into the mechan­ics of polit­i­cal dis­course from a diverse set of view­points.
The book analy­ses the mod­erni­sa­tion dis­cours­es in social demo­c­ra­t­ic par­ties in Britain and Ger­many between 1994 and 2003, a project that was named ‘Third Way’. It demon­strates how polit­i­cal lan­guage and polit­i­cal cul­ture are relat­ed and how politi­cians will adapt a glob­al ide­ol­o­gy to local polit­i­cal cir­cum­stances in order to con­vince the elec­torate. At the same time, the book presents new insights into the Ger­man polit­i­cal cul­ture and the ver­sion of Third Way dis­cours­es in the Social Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty of Ger­many (SPD) under the lead­er­ship of Ger­hard Schröder which have played a key role in shap­ing cur­rent polit­i­cal dis­course in Ger­many. It con­cludes with a mod­el for the study of polit­i­cal dis­course which makes the work rel­e­vant to schol­ars in Social Sci­ences and beyond.

Post­mil­len­ni­al trends in anglo­phone lit­er­a­tures, cul­tures and media
The book offers a col­lec­tion of papers that draw on con­tem­po­rary devel­op­ments in cul­tur­al stud­ies in their dis­cus­sions of post­mil­len­ni­al trends in works of Anglo­phone lit­er­a­ture and media. The first sec­tion of the book, “Address­ing the The­o­ries of a New Cul­tur­al Par­a­digm”, com­pris­es ten essays that present, respec­tive­ly, per­for­ma­tist, meta­mod­ernist, digi­mod­ernist, and hypo­mod­ernist read­ings of select­ed texts in order to test the use­ful­ness of recent the­o­ries in explo­rations of the new par­a­digm in lit­er­ary, media and food stud­ies. The papers cov­er a wide vari­ety of gen­res, includ­ing the nov­el, the film, the doc­u­men­tary, the cook­book, the food mag­a­zine, and the food com­mer­cial, and present a num­ber of themes which shed light on the nature of the new par­a­digm. The sec­ond part of the vol­ume, “Map­ping the Dynam­ics of a New Sen­si­bil­i­ty”, offers a wider per­spec­tive and presents sev­en papers that search for evi­dence of a new sen­si­bil­i­ty in select­ed exam­ples of post­mil­len­ni­al texts. These con­tri­bu­tions move beyond the frame­works of the the­o­ries explored in the first part in order to offer new per­spec­tives in the con­trib­u­tors’ respec­tive fields of inter­est.
