Oxford, Blackwell Publishing.p. 183-200. Speech writing in the Norwegian Foreign Ministry privileges making a single voice out of the organization’s multiplicity of voices, rather than speaking directly to the speech’s audience. In the upshot, MFA speeches tend to sound the same.

Folks ideer om politikk formes blant annet av hvordan politikk fremstilles i populærkulturen. Når noe blir populært, kan det være fordi det treffer et polituisk fenomen i samtiden. Artikkelen drøfter Harry Potter i et slikt perspektiv, og konkluderer med at Harry sakraøliserer politikken.
