- W955696411 abstract "In his State of the Union Address for 8 January 1951, President Trumandeclared: ‘Our men are fighting alongside their United Nations allies,because they know, as we do, that the aggression in Korea is part of theattempt of the Russian Communist dictatorship to take over the world, stepby step.’1 This totalizing rhetoric is typical of the discourse of the Cold War,in which no individual conflict can be separated from the worldwidestruggle, and which repeatedly exploits polar duality, stark oppositionsbetween us and them, West and East. The ‘battle for men’s minds’, as theCold War was repeatedly called, was waged through words, through keymetaphors and oppositions. As Martin J. Medhurst has explained, ‘The currency of Cold War combat – the tokens used in the contest – is rhetoricaldiscourse: discourse intentionally designed to achieve a particular goal withone or more specific audience [. . .]. Cold War weapons are words, images,symbolic actions, and, on occasion, physical actions undertaken by covertmeans.’2 Medhurst’s argument is specifically applied to the discourse ofpoliticians, which he describes as calculated, end-directed verbal performances. If we extend his approach beyond this material to commentary onthe Cold War generally – fictional and non-fictional – we will find the samerhetoric operating. For instance, the repeated references in the 1950s to the‘loss’ of China to communism presumes both prior possession and a ‘twoworld’ ideology which found its expression in many contexts, including thatof commerce. In 1959 there appeared a report on Western commerce sensationally entitled The Third World War. The text opens with a stark warning:‘In every inhabited part of the world the forces of Communism and Democracy are locked together in combat. In this struggle there are no neutralterritories.’3 The notion of warfare is totalized here into a worldwide condition where there are only two ideological positions available." @default.
