* What do we mean by discourse?
* What are the different conceptions of discourse and methods of
discourse analysis in the contemporary social sciences?
* How can this concept help to clarify key theoretical problems and
illuminate empirical cases?
The concept of discourse provokes considerable debate and is
understood in a variety of ways in the contemporary social
sciences. This text presents a comprehensive overview of the
different conceptions and methods of discourse analysis, while
setting out the traditions of thinking in which these conceptions
have emerged. It surveys structuralist, post-structuralist and
post-Marxist theory, and the author sets out a fresh approach to
discourse analysis, drawing principally on the writings of
Saussure, Levi-Strauss, Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida,
Laclau and Mouffe. He evaluates a number of pertinent criticisms of
this approach, and explores ways in which discourse analysis can
assist our understanding of identity formation, hegemony, and the
relationship between structure and agency. This concise and
engaging text provides a stimulating introduction to the concept of
discourse for students and researchers across the social sciences.
