Stuckey: Anger in Presidential Elections DESCRIPTION:Mary E. Stuckey\, Professor of Communication and Political Science\, Georgia State University\n“Anger in Presidential Elections” \n \nPolitical candidates have often used anger as a way of motivating their coalitions and defining their campaigns. Anger is useful as a way of separating the mass public from the system and its leaders\, but is less useful as a way of attaching members of the public to a candidacy. Anger is useful as one part of a rhetorical repertoire\, especially as it helps voters feel that a candidate is fighting for them\, but is of limited use when it’s the primary tactic used by a candidate. \nIn this presentation\, I develop this argument through a focus on three moments in U.S. political history. First\, I examine the 1930s\, when FDR mobilized anger against the “moneychangers in the temple” and his opposition relied on fears that Roosevelt was an incipient dictator. In both cases\, the anger was directed at those who were presumed to be distorting the political system\, which was treated as inherently sound. Second\, I look at the ways in which Goldwater and Reagan wielded populist anger in their presidential efforts\, which reveals the importance of political style. Finally\, I look at the current campaign\, in which Bernie Sanders concentrates on injustices he considers inherent in the political system while Donald Trump makes specifically personal attacks\, which reveals both the ways that anger can be used to critique and to\nsustain political structures. \nMary E. Stuckey specializes in political and presidential rhetoric\, political communication\, and American Indian politics. She is the author\, editor\, or co-editor of twelve books and author or coauthor of roughly 80 essays and book chapters. She has received the Michael M. Osborn Teacher/Scholar Award\, the Rose B. Johnson Award (with Zoe Hess-Carney)\, the Roderick P. Hart Outstanding Book Award\, the Marie Hochmuth Nichols Award\, and the Carl Couch Center’s inaugural Bruce E. Gronbeck Political Communication Award. \nShe has served as editor of the Southern Communication Journal and as book review editor for Rhetoric and Public Affairs. She is Editor-elect of the Quarterly Journal of Speech. She currently co-edits (with Mitchell McKinney) Peter Lang’s series The Frontiers of Political Communication. She received the John Sisco Teaching Award from the Southern States Communication Association\, the Pi Sigma Alpha Teaching Award from the American Political Science Association\, and the Elsie M.

Her current book project is on the rhetoric of political change. \nSponsored by: Department of Communication\, College of Letters and Science Year of the Humanities\, and Department of Political Science.
