The Spiral of Silence
Since its original articulation in the early 1970s, the 'spiral of silence' theory has become one of the most studied theories of communication and public opinion. It has been tested in varied sociopolitical contexts, with different issues and across communication systems around the world. Attracting the interest of scholars from communication, political science, sociology, public opinion and psychology, it has become both the subject of tempestuous academic debate as well as a mainstay in courses on communication theory globally. Reflecting substantial new thinking, this collection provides a comprehensive examination of the spiral of silence theory, offering a synthesis of prior research a...
The Spiral of Silence
In this groundbreaking work, Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann examines public opinion as a form of social control in which individuals, almost instinctively sensing the opinions of those around them, shape their behavior to prevailing attitudes about what is acceptable. For this second edition, Noelle-Neumann has added three new chapters: the first discusses new discoveries in the history of public opinion; the second continues the author's efforts to construct a comprehensive theory of public opinion, addressing criticisms and defenses of her "spiral of silence" theory that have appeared since 1980; the third offers a concise and updated summary of the book's arguments.

Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann
Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann va formular el 1972 la Teoria de l'Espiral del Silenci a partir de la seva experiència en els estudis d'opinió en campanyes electorals i la formació de l'opinió pública a l'Alemanya de postguerra. L'obra analitza, en paral·lel a la trajectòria vital i intel·lectual de l'autora, aquesta teoria comunicativa interdisciplinar (sociologia, comunicació política, periodisme, psicologia, filosofia, antropologia, biologia) que tracta conceptes com ara el clima d'opinió, la majoria silenciosa, el control social i l'hegemonia. Què explica que unes opinions i visions del món s'imposin i es vegin com a majoritàries en una societat. La por a sentir-nos aïllats explica la vida en societat? Es pot produir un fenomen d'Espiral de Silenci en l'actual "societat xarxa"?
