| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book explores the presidential image of Donald Trump as it is constructed by the media within American national mythology, precisely the frontier myth. This book explores the presidential image of Donald Trump as it is constructed by the media within American national mythology, precisely the frontier myth. By offering an account of three milestones in the development of the frontier mythology in its intersection with presidential imagery, the book shows how the image of Donald Trump fits into the line of "cowboy presidents," together with Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. It also offers insights into the reasons for making Russian president Vladimir Putin a part of Trump’s story and a routinely mentioned figure in American presidential politics. Applying the means of philosophical anthropology to this topical issue at the intersection of politics and the media, this volume will appeal to those working and studying in the areas of media studies, political anthropology, American studies, and myth studies. |
