Nexus Analysis presents an exciting theory by two of the leading
names in discourse analysis and provides a practical guide to its
application.
The authors argue that discourse analysis can itself be a form
of social action. If the discourse analyst is part of the nexus of
practice under study, then the analysis can itself transform that
nexus of practice.
Focussing on their own involvement with and analysis of
pioneering communication technologies in Alaska they identify
moments of social importance in order to examine the links between
social practice, culture and technology. Media are identified not
only as means of expressing change but also as catalysts for change
itself, with the power to transform the socio-cultural
landscape.
In this intellectually exciting yet accessible book, Ron Scollon
and Suzie Wong Scollon present a working example of their theory in
action and provide a personal snapshot of a key moment in the
history of communication technology, as the Internet transformed
Alaskan life.
