The president electric : Ronald Reagan and the politics of performance / Timothy Raphael Ann Arbor Mich.: University of Michigan Press, 2009.
Call No: 81REA RAPAuthor: Raphael, Timothy Source: USPlace: Ann Arbor Mich.Publisher: University of Michigan PressPubDate: 2009PhysDes: ix, 271 p. ; 23 cmSeries: Theater: theory, text, performanceSubject: CAPITALISM AND THE CINEMA ; POLITICS AND THE CINEMA. USA ; POLITICS IN THE CINEMA ; PRESIDENTS [USA] IN FILMS ; Reagan, Ronald Summary: "While Ronald Reagan first entered politics in 1965, his public profile as a performer in radio, film, television, and advertising and his experience in public relations proved invaluable political assets. By the time he left office in 1989, the media in which he trained had become the primary source for generating and wielding political power. The President Electric: Ronald Reagan and the Politics of Performance reveals how the systematic employment of the techniques and technologies of mass-media performance contributed to Reagan's rise to power and defined his style of governance. The President Electric stands out among books on Reagan as the first to bring the rich insights of the field of perfoemance studies to an understanding of the Ronald Reagan phenomenon, connecting Reagan's training in electronic media to the nineteenth century notion of the "fiat of electricity" - the emerging sociopolitical power of three entities (mechanical science, corporate capitalism, and mass culture) that electric technology made possible. The book describes how this new regime of cultural and political representation shaped the development of the electronic mass media that transformed American culture and politics and educated Ronald Reagan for his future role as president." - BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes notes, works cited list and index.ISBN: 9780472050734
