  • Discourse Analysis as critique
    Palgrave Communications, 2017
    Co-Authors: Martin Nonhoff
    Abstract:

    This paper intervenes in the discussion about the relationship between Discourse Analysis and critique. It argues that this relationship can be understood either as an external or as an integrated relationship. In an external relationship, there is first social criticism that is then braced by Discourse Analysis, that is, the latter aims at giving empirical credence to the critique. However, such an external relationship cannot give us any insight concerning the critical potential that is specific to Discourse Analysis, precisely because in this case critique exists before and independent of Discourse Analysis. If, however, critique emanates from Discourse Analysis itself, we would speak of an integrated relationship and would no longer speak of Discourse Analysis and critique, but of Discourse Analysis as critique. It is argued that such an integrated relationship becomes visible once we think of Discourse Analysis as being itself a discursive formation and ask what unsettling effects this formation has on research objects, on subject formations and on the academic production context in which they are conducted.

  • CRITICAL Discourse Analysis
    Annual Review of Anthropology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Jan Blommaert, Chris Bulcaen
    Abstract:

    ▪ Abstract This paper provides a survey of critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), a recent school of Discourse Analysis that concerns itself with relations of power and inequality in language. CDA explicitly intends to incorporate social-theoretical insights into Discourse Analysis and advocates social commitment and interventionism in research. The main programmatic features and domains of enquiry of CDA are discussed, with emphasis on attempts toward theory formation by one of CDA's most prominent scholars, Norman Fairclough. Another section reviews the genesis and disciplinary growth of CDA, mentions some of the recent critical reactions to it, and situates it within the wider picture of a new critical paradigm developing in a number of language-oriented (sub) disciplines. In this critical paradigm, topics such as ideology, inequality, and power figure prominently, and many scholars productively attempt to incorporate social-theoretical insights into the study of language.
