This is both the first systematic introduction to Discourse Studies
for students and scholars of social movements and a study of
discourses on the European "refugee crisis", by leading theorist,
Teun A. van Dijk. Concrete examples of different kinds of discourse
are vital for the study of social movements because their
activities are not limited to such well-known forms of contention
as marches, occupations or strikes, but also daily discursive
activities, such as meetings, assemblies, interviews, press
conferences, manifestos, pamphlets, banners, graffiti, websites,
blogs, social media posts and everyday talk. This book proposes
that empirical analyses of these discourses should go beyond the
popular but vague notion of "frame" and engage in more detailed and
explicit analyses of the text and talk of social movements. This is
a much-needed introduction to the most important structures of
discourse and a detailed theoretical account of the notion of
"solidarity" defining the Refugees Welcome movement.
