Böcker av Katarzyna Pisarska

This book explores new grounds that public diplomacy is entering today, as domestic publics come to the forefront of the policy - acting both as foreign policy constituencies and public diplomacy actors cooperating with their foreign counterparts.

The book offers a detailed analysis of all mainstream novels of Iain Banks. It explores the question of mediation, the process of a semiotic (re)construction of the world on the part of Banks's characters, with reference to four paradigms of fictional worlds established by the author's first novel, The Wasp Factory.
