TY - CHAP A1 - Leerssen, Joep T1 - Enmity, identity, discourse : imagology and the state T2 - New perspectives on imagology / edited by Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie and Gianna Zocco ; Studia Imagologica ; 30 N2 - Imagological analysis can be fruitfully applied to political discourse, most importantly the discourse of international antagonism and national self-positioning used in government decision-making circles. Historians studying that discourse have tended to see its rhetoric of national characterization merely as a distracting accompaniment to actual, factually driven policies and developments. This, it is argued here, questionably presupposes that those policies were never driven by anything but cerebral reasons of state (such as these are seen by latter-day historians); it makes us unduly heedless of an important historical corpus throwing light on the force of emotive and national prejudice in policymaking.
