Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) aims to enhance our understanding
of how discourse figures in social processes, social structures,
and social change. This book is in response to specific changes in
mediation technologies of discourse, brought about by the
significant concentration of discursive practices within the
paradigm of social media communication. This book addresses this
participatory media context against a broadly defined tradition in
CDS, its aspirations, assumptions, and critique. It views discourse
as forms of structured representations across a range of modalities
of communication including the emerging meaning-making artefacts
and practices across social media. It aspires to provide an
overview of the key considerations in doing CDS on social media
spaces. The book firstly provides a set of aspiration signposting
the parameters of doing social media CDS followed by critical
explorations of a number of contemporary case studies of digital
discourses around identity, politics and representation. It
includes various social media communication including YouTube,
Instagram, Wikipedia, and Twitter. The book will be of interest to
researchers and advanced students of linguistics, politics,
sociology, communication studies, media and cultural studies, and
science and technology studies. It was originally published as a
special issue of the journal Critical Discourse Studies.
