[Commlist] New book: Discourse, Voice, and the Politics of Participation

Maike Dinger is pleased to announce that the monograph Discourse, Voice, 
and the Politics of Participation in the Scottish Independence 
Referendum was published recently with Palgrave/Springer as part of the 
book series Political Campaigning and Communication. Please find the 
book description below along with a link to further information on the book.

Taking the 2014 Scottish independence referendum as its case study, this 
book examines popular participation and elite interventions in 
democratic, plebiscitary events. It addresses how the referendum was 
constructed, represented, and performed as a participatory moment in 
media and political discourses and asks how elite representations 
overlap or contrast with referendum experiences of the public.

Drawing on and appealing to media studies, cultural theory, political 
science and history, this is the first study to use a truly 
interdisciplinary range of methods to examine a key moment of political 
participation. It does this through a unique primary dataset, including 
interviews, focus groups, newspapers, literature, and social media data. 
This book will appeal to scholars, students, and observers of political 
participation, secessionist movements, political media, and those 
interested in Scottish independence and British politics by shedding new 
light on the referendum’s participatory legacy and hurdles that stop 
contemporary politics from being inclusive.
