Discourse and Social Psychology: Beyond Attitudes and Behaviour

1987 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: Although much has been written about discourse analysis in recent years, little of it has been intelligible to the average undergraduate or even post graduate student. It has become a field in which terminological confusions abound and a bewildering variety of theoretical perspectives compete. This book, which is aimed at the advanced undergraduate student, is the first systematic and comprehensible introduction to the theory and application of discourse analysis within the field of social psychology and other related disciplines. In the first chapter of the book, the theoretical roots of discourse analysis in linguistic philosophy, ethnomethodology and semiotics are described. Chapter Two overviews the perspective of discourse analysis and illustrates its utility in studying attitudes. The following five substantive chapters deal with concepts which are at the heart of the study of social psychology: rules, accounts, the self, categories and social representations…. [detailed...]

Discourse as Social Interaction (Discourse Studies: A Multidisciplinary Introductio)

1997 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: How do people engage in, and manage discourse and interaction with others? Whether in informal, everyday conversations of professional dialogues, people do many things while they are speaking or writing. Focusing on the fundamental interactional, social, political, and cultural functions of text and talk, Discourse as Social Interaction shows that discourse is not merely form and meaning, but also action. The volume looks further at this social dimension of discourse by examining the role of social identity and group membership, such as those based on gender, race, and ethnicity. It asks these important questions: How do members of various groups typically speak among each other and how do they communicatr with people of other groups or cultures? What is the role of discourse in the perpetuation or legitimation of sexism or racism? Discourse as Social Interaction closes the gap between the micro analysis of very detailed structures of talk with the macro analysis of their functions… [detailed...]

Discourse as Structure and Process

1997 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: What are the structures of discourse and what are the functions of these structures in the communicative context? This volume explains how and why discourse is organized at various levels. The multidiscplinary contributions illustrate that discourse analysis goes far beyond the linguistic answer of designing grammars. Discourse as Structure and Process covers a huge variety of grammars both written and spoken, and has separate chapters on storytelling and argumentation due to the key roles they play in our personal and professional lives. The chapters illustrate the necessity to examine the mental processes of the language users such as how people--and their minds go about producing, understanding, and remembering text or talk. This cognitive approach also emphasizes the vital role of knowledge in such processes. Similarly, it is stressed that both discourse and its mental processing have a social basis: They can only be fully understood in relation to social interaction. [detailed...]

Discourse, Power and Resistance: Challenging the Rhetoric of Contemporary Education

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a call to educators to recognize and resist the rhetoric around education and to question the practices that are controlling education all over the world, reducing it to little more than skills development in preparation for work. DavidHursh of University of Rochester, New York argues that testing and accountability have fostered the decline of teacher professionalism and local control, thus achieving compliance and making contestation all but impossible. Helen Colley of Leeds University, England questions the generally venerated strategy of mentoring to show how its dynamic requires docility from the learner and thus perpetuates inequality. These are but two of the dozen or so academics who have come together to challenge the prevailing academic discourse. In Part Two of the book, they suggest ways in which to provoke and enable students to critique the system. `Discourse, Power and Learning` is for students, teachers, trainers, lecturers and researchers….

Discourses of Tolerance and Intolerance in the European Enlightenment (UCLA Clark Memorial Library Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The idea of tolerance is one of the most enduring legacies of the Enlightenment. However, there is a surprising lack of scholarly works that attempt to analyse the influence of tolerance on the individual during this period. This collection assesses, for the first time, the positive and negative impact of discourses and theories of tolerance upon the lives of individuals in eighteenth-century Europe.Featuring an internationally renowned group of contributors, this volume looks at the concept of tolerance at the point where the individual, or group, converges or clashes with the state. Though it appears to provide grist for the mill of Enlightenment critics such as Adorno, Horkheimer, Foucault, and MacIntyre by confronting specific cases in which individual freedoms are forced to acquiesce to state control and authority in the guise of tolerance, the essays also offer a cautionary tale of critical restraint in the post-9/11 world. By reflecting on similar discrepancies in the interplay… [detailed...]

Niccolo MacHiavelli
Discourses on Livy (Oxford World`s Classics)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDiscourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to an understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of theancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli`s close analysis of Livy`s history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is one of the most sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval ever written. In an age of increasing political absolutism, Machiavelli`s theories became a dangerous ideology. This new translation is richly annotated, providing the contemporary reader with sufficient historical, linguistic, and political… [detailed...]

Discovering Addiction: The Science and Politics of Substance Abuse Research

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
Description: `Discovering Addiction` brings the history of human and animal experimentation in addiction science into the present with a wealth of archival research and dozens of oral-history interviews with addiction researchers. Professor Campbell examines the birth of addiction science-the National Academy of Sciences`s project to find a pharmacological fix for narcotics addiction in the late 1930s-and then explores the human and primate experimentation involved in the succeeding studies of the `opium problem,` revealing how addiction science became `brain science` by the 1990s. Psychoactive drugs have always had multiple personalities-some cause social problems, others solve them-and the study of these drugs involves similar contradictions. `Discovering Addiction` enriches discussions of bioethics by exploring controversial topics, including the federal prison research that took place in the 1970s-a still unresolved debate that continues to divide the research community-and the effect of… [detailed...]

Description: America`s Extreme Capitalism Wreaked Havoc on the American People -- Even Before the Bubble Burst DISCOVERING AMERICA AS IT IS, is a monumental study of the devastating effect American-style capitalism has been having on the American people -- even before the onslaught of recession. It raises serious questions not only concerning America’s role as a leading model for development, but even as to its future capacity to compete due to the deterioration of its human capital resulting from anti-social domestic policies. During the era of the Soviet Union, many human rights dissidents turned to the United States to champion their cause. Many even emigrated to the USA. Few, however, have expressed the disappointment that awaited them there, and fewer still have publicly exposed their view of human rights as practiced in the U.S.. That fact, in itself, would make Discovering America As It Is an important book, written by a journalist who was expelled from the USSR for human rights… [detailed...]

Discovering Another Way: Raising Brighter Children While Haveing a Meaningful Career

Publisher: —
Description: In spite of several decades of progress made by women in expanding life and career options, they are often still faced with the narrow choices of either stay-at-home motherhood or corporate career. Lane Nemeth, the founder of a successful toy company, argues that it`s possible to do both and gain the rewards that each offers. In Discovering Another Way , the author describes how the first generation of the women`s movement helped free women from the rigid role of mother/homemaker. But the pressure to only have a career can also become a trap. This book traces her personal story of challenges met and overcome and the evolution of her own goals: to have a family, to help others raise smarter kids by making educational toys generally available forthe first time, and to provide an opportunity for women to have a business and a family life.
