Discurso e Poder

Rate this book

O discurso controla mentes e mentes controlam ação. Isso significa que, para aqueles que estão no poder, é crucial controlar, em primeiro lugar, o discurso. Mas de que modo uma entonação específica, um pronome, uma manchete jornalística, um tópico, um item lexical, uma metáfora, uma cor ou um ângulo de câmera se relacionam a algo tão abstrato e geral como as relações de poder na sociedade? Este livro analisa as formas de abuso de poder - manipulação, doutrinação e desinformação - que resultam em desigualdade e injustiça sociais. Utilizando como instrumento a Análise de Discurso Crítica, Teun van Dijk desenvolve ferramentas de análise e as aplica em exemplos concretos como notícias jornalísticas, livros didáticos e discursos políticos. Obra importante para sociólogos, antropólogos, cientistas políticos, críticos culturais, jornalistas, linguistas e analistas do discurso.

Clear and accessible. Throughout, I was thinking of the interplay between academic discourse (as power) and its treatment of discourse and power.

I think that for people unfamiliar with critical discourse analysis this book provides as good introduction which will achieve a 'leap' in the way texts are received.

Interesante y exhaustivo análisis de las diversas formas en que el poder utiliza el discurso para afianzar y legitimar sus fines.

Incluye varios análisis de casos concretos, aunque breves.

Libro bastante escabroso, demasiado académico por momentos (y por lo mismo algo árido), pero interesante para hacer una lectura sobre le discurso político y empresarial de estos tiempos.

Dated contrasted with 2015, but foundation discusses of critical discourse analysis CDA (or CD Studies) to understand van Dijk's later more specific researches. Introduction for CDA for serious reader. Would like to see more attention to education as much as the attention to press and parliamentarian discourse is written. But it is what it is.

Discuss about race in several chapters very useful in discourse analysis, prescient of contemporary calls for denials against racist discourse in press.
