Against the backdrop of overwhelming discourse scholarship
emanating from the Western cosmopolitan centres, this volume offers
a development-centred approach to unfamiliar, marginalized or
otherwise disadvantaged discourses of the Third World or the Global
South. Written by leading researchers based in Asia, Africa and
Latin America, respectively, this book reconstructs Eastern
paradigms of communication studies on the one hand and explores the
discursive problems, complexities, aspirations, and dynamics of the
non-Western, subaltern, and developing societies on the other. As
methodological principles, the authors i) adopt the
cultural-political stance of supporting cultural diversity and
harmony at both academic and everyday levels, ii) draw upon Asian,
African and Latino scholarship in critical dialogue with the
existing mainstream traditions, and iii) make sense of the
discourses of Asia, Africa and Latin America from their own local
as well as global, historical and intercultural, perspectives. This
book will particularly appeal to scholars and students in the
fields of discourse studies, communication and cultural studies,
and development studies.
