| description | With communication playing an increasingly important role in contemporary society, rhetoric appears to have gained in influence and importance. The ancients knew all along: power belongs to those who know how to use their words. Nowadays, we know that rhetoric pervades all discourse. There is no communication without rhetoric. In a society with ever-increasing amounts of information, and with media whose significance cannot be overestimated, we need to know all the mechanisms playing a role in the gathering, making and reporting of information and opinions, and its processing by an audience. Rhetoric is, from both a practical and a theoretical perspective, essential to the conduct, analysis and evaluation of public debates. After all, the idea of democracy is closely intertwined with the ideal of transparent decision-making on the basis of open, informed discussions in the public domain, in political, organizational and journalistic discourse. Bending Opinion cites a host of relevant examples, from Barack Obama to Geert Wilders, as well as compelling case studies. |

Het belang van communicatie neemt steeds verder toe in de huidige samenleving, en daarmee blijkt ook retoriek aan invloed te winnen. Het was al bekend in de Oudheid: de macht behoort hen toe die weten hoe ze hun woorden moeten gebruiken. Tegenwoordig beheerst retoriek het publieke debat, en is er geen communicatie zonder retoriek. In een samenleving die wordt gekenmerkt door een overvloed aan informatie en zeer invloedrijke media, is het van groot belang belang inzicht te krijgen in de mechanismen die een rol spelen bij het verzamelen, maken en het overbrengen van informatie en meningen, en de manier waarop het publiek deze verwerkt. Retoriek is, zowel vanuit praktisch als theoretisch oogpunt, essentieel voor de uitwerking, analyse en evaluatie van het publieke debat. Uiteindelijk is het idee van democratie nauw vervlochten met het ideaal van transparante besluitvorming op basis van open, goed-ge nformeerderde discussies in het publieke domein en het politieke en journalistieke discours. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2016-12-31 23:55:55 2018-06-26 00:00:00 2020-04-01T14:18:18Z 2011 book 606214 OCN: 746747214 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/32755 9789087280994 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36125 eng LUP Academic open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32755/1/606214.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32755/1/606214.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32755/1/606214.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32755/1/606214.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32755/1/606214.pdf Leiden University Press 10.5117/9789087280994 10.5117/9789087280994 1dcb980a-389c-4b15-9b4f-13019f12dd19 9789087280994 OAPEN-NL 456 Leiden open access |
