About the Book

This volume gathers the work of the Brussels Discourse Theory Group, a group of critical media and communication scholars that deploy discourse theory as a theoretical backbone and an analytical research perspective. The book seeks to show the value and applicability of discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) within the field of media and communication studies, through a variety of case studies that highlight both the radical contingent nature and the hegemonic workings of media and communication practices.

Review :
'This work significantly contributes to research intersections on discourse and communication. [...] This book’s main contribution is to demonstrate that DT is employed in communication studies not from lack of attention but for its practicability, which represents a strong, systematic interpretation of communication practices. The authors fill methodological gaps with their analyses by explaining how the interpretative mechanisms underlying DT are operationalized. [...] The work further contributes by translating DT into a DTA methodology.'
