The Great Nation of Futurity examines the rhetoric of American exceptionalism--the idea that the United States is an exemplary nation with a unique, divinely sanctioned role--within Cold War foreign policy discourse. Taking a discourse analytic approach, Patricia L. Dunmire focuses specifically on how images and visions of the future within exceptionalist rhetoric are used to promote and endorse the nation''s foreign policy during the Cold War.
The Great Nation of Futurity is situated within the discourse and ideology of American exceptionalism which has undergirded the nation''s identity throughout its history. It draws out the temporal dimension of the exceptionalist ideology, namely the construal of America as the "great nation of futurity," and examines how this identity manifests linguistically and functions rhetorically in Cold War foreign policy discourse. Working within a critical discourse analytic framework, Patricia L. Dunmire examines the space-times construed within foreign policy discourse and demonstrates that these consistently position the United States in a privileged position vis-à-vis the future. This positioning, in turn, sanction a foreign policy approach focused on global future design.
