Course content
|
Discourse analysis originated in the 1970s as a progression of post-structuralism and deconstruction. It was promoted mainly in France by Foucault and Althusser. In Foucault's formulation, discourses are historically specific statement formations which are bound to texts and are governed by fixed linguistic and conversational rules. However, these discourses mostly relate to non-discursive phenomena (actions and activities in the real world, "normal life"). Discourse analysis is mainly interested in the process of production of knowledge (schools, universities, libraries). Who controls this production and how are the positions of knowledge reinforced and defended? Connected with this is the question about the authoritative speakers in the discourse and their speaker positions. This seminar mainly focuses on further development of discourse analysis taking place within German literary and cultural sciences. The seminar deals with discourse analysis in media theory (Kittler), in the humanities (Fohrmann) and the variety of discourse analyses related to myths and space (Link).
