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.
'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.'
