Extract

Elisabeth Le, The spiral ‘anti-Other rhetoric’: Discourses of identity and the international media echo. Amsterdam & Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 2006. Pp. xii, 280. Hb $138.00.

Focusing on an analysis of editorials from The New York Times and Le Monde, as well as of those published in three Russian newspapers (Izvestija, Nezavisimaja Gazeta, and Segodnja) from 1999 to 2001, The spiral ‘anti-Other rhetoric’: Discourses of identity and the international media echo aims to explain how the phenomenon of international media echo (IME) functions. The book is based on an empirical study of interactions between French, American, and Russian media. As Le puts it at the very beginning, its aim is “a linguistic analysis in search of context theory in the domain of CDA, and a media / international relations inquiry in search of a linguistic method of analysis” (xi).
