This collection reflects the growing interest realist critics have
shown towards forms of discourse theory and deconstruction. The
diverse range of contributions address such issues as the work of
Derrida and deconstruction, discourse theory, Eurocentrism and
poststructuralism. What unites all of the contributions is a sense
that it is essential to provide a realist alternative to the
hitherto dominance of social constructionism, hermeneutics and
postmodernism, over many of the issues discussed.
By developing a realist perspective the different authors attempt
to embed discourse within the structured nature of the reality of
the world. Realism can situate language, discourse and ideology
within context specific, or 'causally efficacious' circumstances.
Realism can help to uncover issues of power, representation, and
subjectivity and how discursive and other social practices produce
real effects. This can help us understand the manner in which
(non-discursive) social structures are reproduced through various
forms of ideology and discourse. And by knowing this, we can start
to address questions concerning human emancipation and how the
world is to be transformed.
