This collection makes the case for existing critical discourse
analysis theory and methods to meaningfully engage with the new
communicative parameters, power dynamics, and technological
affordances of contemporary digital spaces. // The volume lends a
critical focus on discursive practices operating through the
paradigm of social media communication, arguing that the critical
discourse social media research must go beyond the notion of the
simple analysis of social media data. The volume features chapters
highlighting a diverse range of methods, including multi-sited
ethnography, multimodality, argumentation, and topic modelling, as
applied to a global range of case studies to present a holistic
portrait of the latest methodological and theoretical debates in
this space. The book demonstrates the ways in which questions of
identity run through these conversations and their subsequent
re-shaping of existing societal discourse. In so doing, the
collection advocates for a new tradition in critical discourse
research, one which is rigorous in accounting for both solid
discursive frameworks and the evolving complexity of digital
platforms, to fully make sense of contemporary digital practices on
the participatory web and advance the field forward. // This book
will be of interest to students and scholars in critical discourse
studies, digital communication, media studies, and anthropology.
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.
This book demonstrates the importance of understanding how
political rhetoric, financial reporting and media coverage of
austerity in transnational contexts is significant to the
communicative, social and economic environments in which we live.
It considers how aspects of moral storytelling, language,
representation and ideology operate through societies in financial
crisis and through governments that impose austerity programmes on
public spending. Whilst many of the debates covered here are
concerned with UK economic policy and British social contexts, the
contributions also consider examples from other countries that
reflect similar concerns on the ideological operations of austerity
and financial discourse. The multiple discursive contexts of
austerity demonstrate the breadth of social concerns and conflicts
that have developed in societies and institutions following the
global economic crisis of 2008. Through its interdisciplinary focus
on this topic, this book provides an important contribution across
multiple subject areas, with shared interests in critical and
analytical approaches to discourse, power and language in social
contexts reflecting the healthy collaborative scope of critical
discourse studies as a field of research. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Critical Discourse Studies.
