[RRE]Understanding Jargon

From: Phil Agre (pagreat_private)
Date: Sun Dec 30 2001 - 16:06:03 PST


[Last month I sent out a bibliography about jargon, by which I mean
the systematic use of techniques from public relations to twist the
language of political debate.  Here is another edition that's twice
as long and includes many important items that were missing from
the original.  You are welcome to pass it along to anyone who can
use it.  Some people don't like the word "jargon".  I sometimes use
the phrase "professionally twisted language", which is more accurate;
unfortunately it has lots more syllables.  So I'll use "jargon" until
I can come up with something better.]

  Understanding Jargon: A Short Bibliography

  Phil Agre
  http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/

  Version of 30 December 2001.

  Please forward this article to anyone who can use it.


Americans are upset at the blizzard of irrational jargon that now
substitutes for political discourse in the United States, and they
increasingly recognize that it isn't going away until it is named
and confronted.  To that end, I have enclosed a short list of books
about propaganda, public relations, ideology, and related topics.
I've included books from several perspectives, including manuals for
practitioners.

If you want a single starting-place for your reading, I recommend
the works of Robert Jackall.  Jackall is an ethicist who does field
studies and writes powerful books about the ethical nightmares he
finds.  I recommend his book "Moral Mazes" to students who are about
to start working in the real world, and he has a recent book about
the world of professionalized issue advocacy.  Otherwise, there's
something for everyone.  People on the left will enjoy Alex Carey's
excellent "Taking the Risk Out of Democracy", people on the right
will enjoy Marvin Olasky's history of the public relations department
at AT&T, those seeking a blood-curdling PR manual will enjoy Philip
Lesly's "Overcoming Opposition", those wishing a more analytical
approach to PR might consult James Grunig and Todd Hunt's "Managing
Public Relations" (I've used it in teaching the subject myself --
it's a little dated but still useful), those seeking pure scandal
will enjoy the works of Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber, and those
wishing to understand conservative policy campaigns might consult
Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado's "No Mercy".

Also, here is a page that contains my own informal articles about the
currently fashionable political jargon:

  http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/jargon.html

It's in reverse chronological order, so if you don't want to relive
the 2000 presidential election then you can skip down.  Many of the
articles on this page could use more work -- they're full of small
editing errors and so on -- but I've left them mostly as they were
when I sent them out.

Just to be clear, I do believe that public relations can be done in an
ethical fashion.  But I also believe that the basic methods of public
relations lend themselves to manipulation and were explicitly invented
with the purpose of manipulating the minds of the majority so that
society could be controlled for the benefit of a narrow elite.  People
talked that way openly until forty years ago, and anyone who doesn't
believe me can read the historical books that are listed below.  By
"jargon" I mean the systematic application of public relations methods
to the language of political debate, both by political parties and by
privately funded think tanks.  Jargon systematically twists language
in order to subvert rational thought and reduce political discourse to
the making and breaking of mental associations among vaguely defined
symbols, often by means of extreme emotional manipulation -- thus the
shouting.  In the process, political discourse is reduced to the most
primitive psychological level, and the toxic rhetoric that results can
be best understood using psychological ideas such as projection.  This
is not an accident, given that the founder of public relations, Edward
Bernays, was explicitly using techniques from psychoanalysis in his
work.  I believe that jargon is incompatible with democracy, not to
mention mental health, and it will only retreat if citizens develop
antibodies to it by learning to name it when they see it.
