IMAGINING POLITICS: INTERPRETATIONS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND POLITICAL TELEVISION
Book ID/图书代码： 13560019C00018
English Summary/英文概要： Imagining Politics critically examines two interpretations of government. The ?rst comes from pop culture ?ctions about politics, the second from academic political science. Stephen Benedict Dyson argues that televised political ?ctions and political science theories are attempts at meaning-making, reflecting and shaping how a society thinks about its politics. By taking ?ction seriously, and by arguing that political science theory is homologous to ?ction, the book offers a fresh perspective on both, using ?ctions such as The West Wing, House of Cards, Borgen, Black Mirror, and Scandal to challenge the assumptions that construct the discipline of political science itself. Imagining Politics is also about a political moment in the West. Two great political shocks--Brexit and the election of Donald Trump--are set in a new context here. Dyson traces how Brexit and Trump campaigned against our image of politics as usual, and won.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《政治成像》质疑了两种对政府的诠释。第一种是来自流行文化小说中的诠释，第二种则是来自政府有关，特别是主流美国政治学设想的有关学术理论。 史蒂芬·本尼迪克特·戴森认为小说和理论都试图建构意义—把不这样做就不合理的政治行为变得合理。通过认真研究小说和提出政治学理论与小说一致的观点，这本书在这两方面提供了一个崭新的角度。这位专家面临的挑战是不仅从一个新的角度思考例如《白宫群英》、《纸牌屋》、《权利的堡垒》、《黑镜》和《丑闻》等小说，也要重新审视建构政治学学科本身的假设。同时，这本书也涉及到当今时代的重要政治时刻。两个当今时代令人震惊的民粹主义事件—脱欧和特朗普的选举—都在这儿被设置到新的背景中。在这个背景中我们通过小说和学术理论追寻作为知情者游戏的政治形象的发展，研究脱欧和特朗普如何利用这一形象并最终取得胜利的。(Sandy)

"Imagining Politics is a first-rate work of scholarship. Popular culture as conveyed through television shows, such as The West Wing and Yes, Minister, can help to explain the political world. The study provides an innovative account of the populist turn in multiple locations around the world. This is essential reading."
--Patrick James, University of Southern California
