He shows how political myth is akin to religious myth yet distinct from it and argues that political myth is best understood as ideology cast in the form of a story. In this way flood is able to examine not only the content of political myths but also how that content is conveyed. He then draws on theories from the fields of art critism, literary critism, and communication to illuminate the nonverbal, visual dimensions of political myth. =650 $$a politik
