First published in 1979, "Official Discourse "is an unofficial
report of theoretical investigations into a specific state of
practice- the publication of reports of official inquiries into
law, order and justice issues. The commissions, tribunals and
committees of inquiry scrutinized in this book examine problems
arising from wrongful imprisonment, police corruption, industrial
picketing, and communal rioting and internment in Northern
Ireland.
Focusing on the reasons why government reports take the form
they do, the authors venture into the areas of linguistics,
psychoanalysis and Marxism. The book is an exercise in discourse
analysis, an exercise in theoretical work that looks at the
relationships between theory and literary production, and a
critique of official conceptions of law, order and justice.
