Bøger af Norman Fairclough

"fem tekster af Fairclough, som efter min opfattelse er velvalgte, fordi de favner bredt og samtidig er centrale milepæle i hans forfatterskab." Roy Langer, Kommunikatøren Den britiske lingvist Norman Fairclough (født 1941) har siden 1980'erne været kendt som eksponent for den såkaldte kritiske diskursanalyse. Ved at kombinere grundige analyser af forskellige teksttyper med et skarpt blik for de sociale og historiske sammenhænge teksterne indgår i, afdækker han, hvordan samfundets magt- og betydningshierarkier skabes og reproduceres gennem diskursive praksisser. Denne tekstsamling indeholder fem centrale artikler i Faircloughs omfattende produktion. Bogen, der præsenterer kritisk diskursanalyse både som en teori og en praktisk metode, henvender sig til studerende, forskere og undervisere, der ønsker at blive klogere på dens anvendelse og dens videnskabsteoretiske fundament. Kritisk diskursanalyse er oversat og forsynet med indledning af Elisabeth Halskov Jensen, ph.d. og lektor på CBS – Handelshøjskolen i København.
