Trivialization and Public Opinion “Taking a transdisciplinary view, this innovative title serves both as an important addition and a challenge to the existing research in communications and in social sciences more generally. Trivialization offers a useful perspective on public discourse and a sensible entry-point to the often hidden universe of mostly unquestioned assumptions, all requiring a thorough debate. I highly recommend this book to all readers seeking a more complete picture of change, so needed in our increasingly complex society.” —D. R. F. Taylor, Distinguished Research Professor, Carleton University, Canada, and 2014 Killam Prize recipient “This is an important book that should be read by anyone concerned about the current state of political discourse in the industrialized democracies. Further, it adds significantly to the scholarly debates in its field. Readers will no doubt tend to ask themselves what we can learn from history, whether we can modify academic approaches to critical thinking to handle complexity and contingency and avoid ‘incredible certitude.’ We should all learn to listen and to ask: ‘how do you know?’” —Fred Fletcher, Professor Emeritus of Communication Studies and Political Science, York University, Canada
