About this title

Synopsis

What can discourse analysis offer to the better understanding of power and change in South Africa? Discourse perspectives have emerged as a means of addressing the structuring effects of language. This unique book shows how they can provide a framework for critical intervention and radical political engagement. The contributors focus in turn on the process of dismantling apartheid, of issues of gender and sexuality in popular culture, everyday talk and counselling practice, of methodological issues arising from this mode of analysis in South Africa, and finally the wider context of using these perspectives for supporting change.

Review

How does discourse analysis fare when it confronts the realities of brutal coercion and committed resistance? In the course of addressing that question this exciting volume illuminates many dark corners of both South African society and discourse analysis.’ - Kurt Danziger, York University, Canada
