Quote from Susanne Winchester on 22nd July 2020, 3:29 pmThese comments and questions were gathered during the presentation and discussion:
- Does discourse studies include linguistic and non-linguistic/paralinguistic features
- Is discourse studies a newer term than discourse analysis?
- Is discourse studies a Western concept?
- what is the difference between interactional and discourse studies in linguistics?
- What are valid ways of knowing in discourse studies? What are the main accepted methods /techniques to establish credible and reliable findings in discourse research?
- Do discourse studies value oral traditions, non-text based languages
- Can someone examine a different culture from their own from the outside? Do you need to focus on your own discourse community?
- Is discourse analysis strictly scientific, or is it also philosophy?
- It also seems that Discourse Studies/Analysis is still in the making. Or it is open for improvisations and experiments.
- How has discourse studies evolved as a field in an increasingly multimodal world
- How efficiently can DA be conducted in postmodern realm of ideas?
This evokes a similar question in my mind: to what extent are DA approaches relevant within a posthumanist approach?- Would discourse analysis be a powerful tool when the participants are the 'muted', the 'subaltern', who do not verbalize or articulate what they do
- What is the role of the of semioses in Discourse Studies nowadays?
- Could we afford to make categorical demarcations between discursive and non-discursive practices?
- How can the balance of power antinomies be maintained while engaging in conducting CDA?
- Foucault said that "discourse in general and scientific discourse in particular, is so complex a reality that we not only can but should approach it at different levels and with different methods".
- To what extent is conversation analysis (CA) diffrent/similiar to/from discourse analysis (DA)?
- How can we use the DA methods to understand the evolution of abstract concepts such as ideology, activism…?
- There seems to be an ambiguity in the role of the discourse analyst. In order to subvert a power structure through his deconstructive work, he needs to gain a strong subject position in the scientific power discourse. How do you deal with this double bind?
- What are the challenges of discourse analysis ?
