Children from the Other America: Reflections on the Image of Immigrant Minors from Central America [In his book The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, Boorstin (1962/1992) tells us that there are two types of events: the “pseudo-event” and the “spontaneous event.” The pseudo-event does not leave behind appearances. Everything disappears. It manufactures perfection. It produces assumptions and molds them into “facts.” It frames and narrows. It closes and confines. All of its variables and contradictions arrange symmetrically and systematically. It is logical. It begins and ends simultaneously. It disappears. It is pure non-appearance.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In his book The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, Boorstin (1962/1992) tells us that there are two types of events: the “pseudo-event” and the “spontaneous event.” The pseudo-event does not leave behind appearances. Everything disappears. It manufactures perfection. It produces assumptions and molds them into “facts.” It frames and narrows. It closes and confines. All of its variables and contradictions arrange symmetrically and systematically. It is logical. It begins and ends simultaneously. It disappears. It is pure non-appearance.]
