Description
At Stake: Monsters and the Rhetoric of Fear in Public Culture by Edward Ingebretsen explores how the term "monster" is used to describe acts of violence, revealing its role in reinforcing cultural standards of behavior. By examining this phenomenon, Ingebretsen uncovers a moralizing function at work, where exaggerated examples are used to reaffirm prevailing norms.
