Discourse and Power: An Introduction to Critical Narratology: Who
Narrates Whom? is both an introduction to discourse research and an
application of the concept of discourse to the problem of power.
Divided into two sections, Part One is a presentation of the most
important theories of discourse in which the link between discourse
and power or language and power is central. It provides a critical
overview of the most important discourse theories: Foucault,
Bourdieu, Fairclough and Greimas' structural semiotics. In Part
two, the section on practice, the insights gained in the first part
of the book are applied to analyses of particular discourses and
their involvement in power relations. Ranging from psychiatric,
legal, political, literary and scientific discourses, examples
include the presidential speeches of Obama, Trump and Biden and the
novels of Camus and Pirandello. The book demonstrates it is
possible to reduce the power factor to a minimum, improve
theoretical innovation and thus pave the way for new insights in
social sciences. This is an important and timely text from a
leading scholar, suitable for use on discourse analysis, critical
discourse analysis and rhetoric courses.
