“…While previous efforts to uncover the influence that specific characteristics of both the entrepreneur (e.g., gender, ethnicity; Anglin et al, 2018a) as well as the potential investor (e.g., novice versus experienced; Allison et al, 2017) might have on how certain narrative elements are interpreted, thereby influencing crowdfunding performance, there is still much that we do not know with regard to how crowdfunding appeals can serve as successful vehicles for investor persuasion. By employing rich theoretical perspectives regarding the persuasive efficacy of image-based versus concept-based rhetoric (Cariola, 2014; Young & Soroka, 2012), we further extend our understanding of the association between narrative content and crowdfunding performance.…”

Drawing on image-based versus concept-based rhetoric research, we test whether concept-based rhetoric—evoking rational, logical, and concrete thinking—could be less useful than image-based rhetoric—evoking more primal, imaginative, and irrational imagery—in driving crowdfunding performance. We further examine how these forms of narrative rhetoric might serve to moderate the relationship between narcissistic rhetoric and crowdfunding performance. Based on a sample of 75,636 Kickstarter projects, image-based rhetoric is positively related to crowdfunding performance, and concept-based language suppressed the relationship between narcissistic rhetoric and crowdfunding performance. Our findings have implications for understanding how narrative elements interact to influence crowdfunding outcomes.

“…The analysis has been conducted using the two volumes of Mein Kampf translated into English by Ralph Manheim; a version considered valid by the research community (for example, Bhopal 2005;Cariola 2014;Watt 1992). 2 One should also keep in mind that Mein Kampf is an ideological and rhetorical instrument, with many of its statements being 'demonstrably untrue' (Watt 1992, xi).…”

The nation’s body: disability and deviance in the writings of Adolf Hitler

This article takes its starting point in the Nazi ideology as it appears in the writings of Adolf Hitler, and discusses how disability and the body can be understood in the context of Mein Kampf. The article underlines how disability and bodily infirmities, alongside race, featured significantly in Hitler's demagogic message. Although the overall image of disability was related to a sense of threat-and a culture gone wrong-Mein Kampf also contains a mixed interpretation of disability as a phenomenon, in which different and opposing disability narratives took part in the construction and the image of the body as a national property. Points of interest • This study discusses the Nazi ideology and its rhetoric in relation to the body and disability. • The article is among the few to analyze Hitler's ideas and recommendations concerning people with disability. • Results illustrate how cultural-historical analyses of ideas, values and norms can help to show that disability as a phenomenon can be explained and valued in different ways and that the line between inclusion and exclusion is not always clear. • This type of research is vital since it contributes to an ethical reflection on how we look upon and understand human dignity, disability and peoples' right to be included in society. • This research provides an opportunity to critically reflect on how different societies, at different times and in different ways, socially construct the notions of ability and disability, especially in relationship to national interests.

“…This research is not the first to employ a corpus methodology in the psychoanalytic context. For instance, Cariola (2014a, b) has used a computerized dictionary to assess body boundary imagery and to explore psychodynamic themes in Mein Kampf , and Salvatore et al (2017) have used automated text analysis to examine psychotherapy transcripts. However, our study is the first to examine psychoanalytic discourse itself and employs a vastly larger corpus to do so.…”

Freudian Slip? The Changing Cultural Fortunes of Psychoanalytic Concepts

It is often argued that psychoanalysis has declined in prominence since its ascendance in the mid-20th century. To assess this claim we examined the trajectory of psychoanalytic concepts from 1900 to 2008 in the massive Google Books database. The changing relative frequency of a sample of English-language psychoanalytic terms was explored and compared to a sample of terms in French. The frequency of the English terms was further explored from 2008 to 2017 using the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The English terms rose steeply from the 1940s and declined steeply from the early 1990s. In contrast, the French terms rose steeply from the 1960s and plateaued from the 1970s. In addition, psychoanalytic terms were markedly more prominent in French since the 1960s. The findings are discussed in the context of historical trends in the reception of psychoanalysis in the Anglophone and Francophone worlds.
