Previous research has demonstrated that professional narratives reference discourses that shape the practice of information literacy within higher education. This article uses discourse analysis method to identify how information literacy discourses construct and position teaching librarians within higher education. Texts analysed include four recent English-language models of information literacy and 16 textbooks. Analysis suggests the existence of two distinct narratives related to the role, expertise and professional practice of teaching librarians. In the outward-facing narrative librarian work is typically absent from guidelines for practice. In contrast, book introductions, which constitute the inward-facing narrative, centre professional librarians yet simultaneously position them as incompetent, or as lacking the skills and understandings that they need to be effective in this setting. These narratives constitute a form of othering that threatens professional practice at a time when the professionalisation of librarianship is being drawn into question. This article represents the second in a research programme that interrogates the epistemological premises and discourses of information literacy within higher education.

ABSTRACT The new National Curriculum Guidelines aim at restructuring and adapting medical curricula. The objective is to conduct a critical-reflective analysis of the restructure of a medical course’s curricular matrix. This action research was conducted at a Brazilian federal university. The material was analyzed using the discourse analysis method. Among the results, the proposal of a curriculum that values life and transfers the biomedical paradigm to incorporate other dimensions in healthcare is highlighted. The need to strengthen a curricular matrix based on social demands and preferably focused on primary care is indicated. The establishment of longitudinal and transversal relationships among the competency areas of the 2014 National Curricular Guidelines and the curricular components is proposed. The intention is to foster the understanding of determinants and relationships between diseases and the communities’ ways of living.

Dalam pandangan masyarakat, kultur dan tafsiran agama perempuan masih lekat dengan isu ketidakadilan gender. Khususnya bagi kaum feminisme, pandangan budaya dan keagamaan yang bersifat patriarkis menjadi tantangan untuk kebebasan perempuan dan kesetaraan gender. Dengan menggunakan metode Analisis Wacana Sara Mills, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana konstruksi wacana perempuan dan Islam dalam stand up comedy Komika Santri oleh Sakdiyah Ma’ruf. Peneliti menganalisis stand up comedy Komika Santri yang dibawakan oleh Sakdiyah Ma’ruf melalui tiga tahapan level analisis yaitu level kata, kalimat, dan wacana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan masih diperbincangkan sebagai korban dalam stand up comedy Komika Santri. Sakdiyah Ma’ruf menegaskan wacana bahwa ketidakadilan terhadap perempuan yang digambarkan dengan adanya pelarangan perempuan dalam beraktivitas di luar dan pembatasan hak perempuan disebabkan oleh ideologi agama yang bersifat patriarki. Melalui wacana tersebut, Sakdiyah Ma’ruf mengesampingkan bahwa diskriminasi terhadap perempuan terjadi karena praktik budaya patriarki yang menjadikan agama sebagai justifikasi untuk melakukannya.In the view of the community, culture and the interpretation of religion is still closely related to the issue of gender injustice. Especially for feminists, patriarchal culture and religion have challenged women's liberation and gender equality. Using Sara Mills’s discourse analysis method, this study sought to understand how Muslim woman was constructed in stand up comedy Komika Santri which was delivered by Sakdiyah Ma'ruf. Researchers analyzed the stand up comedy script through three levels of analysis, including words, sentences, and discourse. The research results showed that women were mainly discussed as victims in the stand up comedy Komika Santri. Sakdiyah Ma'ruf confirms discourse that social injustices against women such as the prohibition of women to perform an outdoor activity and the restrictions of women's rights was caused by religious-based patriarchal ideology. Through such a discourse, Sakdiyah Ma'ruf ignored that discrimination against women occurred because of the practice of patriarchal culture who made religion as a justification for doing so.

This article presents a discourse analysis method designed to study networked cognitive communication processes in knowledge communities, such as conceptual change, higher order learning and knowledge building. The method is grounded on genetic epistemology and integrates constructivist and socioconstructivist theoretical concepts. The sentence (understood as judgment) is chosen as the unit of analysis, and the application of the method is further explained. In addition, a study of transcripts in an asynchronous networked community of nurses illustrates the method and demonstrates how conceptual change, collaborative learning and knowledge building can be identified. Advantages and limitations of the method are also discussed.
