This new and innovative book fills a gap in the growing area of communication and discourse analysis and is unique in bringing four theorists - Foucault, Koselleck, Laclau and Luhmann - together in one slim, easy to digest volume. A best seller in Denmark, this is the first version to be published in English. It is certain to be read widely by an audience of students and researchers internationally for whom it clearly juxtaposes four different theories about society as communication or discourse in regard to their analytical strategies. In particular Andersen focuses on the analysis from a political and social viewpoint, combining theory with practical illustrations; it is this that makes the text so original.

"... a fascinating read. The book's originality lies in providing a welcome comparison of the analytical strategies of four theorists whose work is not usually brought together - Foucault, Koselleck, Laclau and Luhmann. It will appeal to both academics and their students." Norman Fairclough, Department of Linguistics and M.E.L., Lancaster University
