Abstract

From its very inception, the American presidency has served as a cultural as well as a constitutional institution. Cultural images of presidents have arguably been as vital to the nation’s political history as the policies and unscripted contingencies that have shaped their various tenures in office. This talk considers how themes of violence have shaped and reflected both our celebrations and our fears of what has become the most powerful office in American politics.
