Seuchen, Angste und Diskurse - Sprache Und Wissen (Suw)
Bettina Radeiski
The subject of this book is the media coverage of avian flu (bird flu) in 2006. A large part of media coverage consists of reflection on the media contributions and their potential power, where one aspect stands out in particular: the effect of fear. This is accomplished by means of the two normative poles - playing down the issue and scaremongering. The primary aim of the book is to explain all phenomena, and especially those that are contradictory at first glance. Here, referring to Foucault´s discourse concept, the key category of the discursive role is developed.
