Texts record the meanings we make: in words, pictures and deeds,
and politics chronicles our uses of power in shaping social
relationships large and small. Textual politics is about meaning -
the meaning we make with words and with the symbolic values of
every object and action. The book begins with an introduction which
discusses the relationship between discourse and the notions of
power and ideology. These concepts are then applied to major
issues: the social construction of class, gender and individuality;
the rhetoric of polarizing social controversies (religious
fundamentalism vs. gay rights); and the abuse of technical language
in policy arguments (educational research vs. conservative
politics). The book ends with chapters which extend the theory to
processes of large-scale social change and apply it to the
challenges facing education and political action in the new global
information century.
