- Definition of Discourse Analysis
- was later adopted in sociology, anthropology and
other social sciences and humanities
- Michael Stubbs: language use beyond the boundaries
of a sentence/utterance - the interrelationships between
language and society and the interactive or dialogic
properties of everyday communication
- Michael Stubbs: language use beyond the boundaries
of a sentence/utterance - the interrelationships between
language and society and the interactive or dialogic
properties of everyday communication
- had profound effects in a number of academic disciplines,
including sociology and education and therefore has a direct
impact on the way we view and understand childhood
- incorporate the ways in which language is used to frame
and direct our understanding of different social phenomenon
- was later adopted in sociology, anthropology and
other social sciences and humanities
- Discourse
- argument or discussion between two ways of thinking
- Plato believed that discourse was a means
of finding the solution or truth to any problem
- Language and Discourse
- One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter
- aims and views have changed as terrorists are defined
when they attack American or allied helicopters
- Discourse between supporters and detractors
which can be seen in their use of language
- One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter
- Language and Context
- meaning of a word depends on its context
- Republican can mean a right wing American party member - A
British person opposed to the monarchy or a northern Irish terrorist
- meaning of a word depends on its context
- the debate over the use of language produces a
conflict between different views of the same subject
- what is being debated is negotiated - which
produces a new accepted view of the object
- Discourse can be applied to childhood
- The way in which we see children: between global theories of
childhood and observed childhoods - between our experiences and
memories of childhood and the childhoods of children today
- Discourse sees childhood
as part of a developing
dialogue between different
ideas and experiences
- Discourse and the media: our identity is created by society
in general - media limits out view to those of the rich and
powerful - the media is a mechanism, less influencing us by
what it tells us, than by limiting what we discuss
- Dominance and Discourse: Those who are
dominant often accept and internalise the
discourse they are given - only when an alternative
discourse is provided can they begin to construct a
new indentity
- Alternative Discourses: alternative discourses
were evident in the civil rights movement from the
1950's and in subsequent movements for women's
gay and disability rights
- the ways in which our understanding of childhood
is negotiated between different perceptions
- The ways in which language is used to
construct a view of childhood and children
- argument or discussion between two ways of thinking
- Foucault and Discourse
- if you have the knowledge, you have the power
- saw discourse as a mechanism for legitimating power
- power is defined by knowledge
and knowledge is defined by power
- if you have no knowledge, it can
be seen in your personality
- childhood is not a fixed thing, it changes all the time
- childhood is not a fixed thing, it changes all the time
- in an isolated family - they create a child's identity
- whatever children experience tends to seem normal -
only when a child encounters different circumstances
can they construct an alternative discourse
- if you have the knowledge, you have the power
- Hyper reality
- occurs through the media, doesn't
always occur in the real world
- Jean Baudrillard - media
can create a hyperreality
- physical reality was being replaced
by a constructed media reality
- Disneyland is made to feel like a real world
- media creates something that is not real
- TV shows and the internet, which seem to fit
the idea of hyper reality much more clearly
- only way is Essex or made in Chelsea is examples of
hyper reality shows
- occurs through the media, doesn't
always occur in the real world
- Discourse and Childhood
- leaning language is the most important in childhood
- Childhood and youth can be seen as
being created a series of discourses
- Global theories of childhood - our own
memories and past experiences - current
observations and perceptions
- the discourse on childhood can be seen in our use of
language to describe different children - at different ages -
in different roles - to indicate different perceptions
- teenager - youth - brat -
student - pupil - innocent - child
- criminal - yob - teen parent
- Hoodies is an example - thugs or just normal
clothing - can be seen as a bit of clothing or trouble -
can you not wear them without being seen as a thug
- leaning language is the most important in childhood
