Abstract This study presents a scrutiny of ‘liberal’ discursive constructions of the ‘Enlightenment’ in the Greek public sphere. The study is based on the analysis of articles published in two news/lifestyle websites, ‘AthensVoice’ and ‘Protagon’, during the (ongoing), so-called, ‘Greek crisis’. Discourse theory, informed by critical discourse analysis, is deployed to analyze these discursive constructions. The analysis shows that Greece’s economic/social/political problems are constructed as symptoms that underline Greece’s fundamental deficit, which is the country’s alleged ‘lack of ‘Enlightenment’, as perceived by ‘liberal’ voices in Greece and elsewhere. The article concludes that such discourses are part of a biopolitical, disciplinary framework producing the object to be reformed by austerity: an ‘un-Enlightened’ ‘Greek character’, ‘guilty’ for ‘self-inflicting’ Greece’s crisis. This ‘reform of character’ envisioned by liberals in Greece and elsewhere, is supposed to emerge through the institutional advance of neoliberal restructuring processes that include austerity reforms, privatizations, and loss of labor and civic rights, conditions to foster the neoliberal, entrepreneurial, mobile and austere subject, to potentially meet the socio-political requirements of late capitalist growth.

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has entered the mainstream of linguistic and social science research with a strong transdisciplinary orientation and social engagement. This chapter introduces six variants of CDA: (1) Fairclough’s approach, which is strongly social theoretically embedded and informed by systemic functional linguistics; (2) van Leeuwen’s and Kress’s social semiotic and systemic functional approach; (3) van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach; (4) the form of CDA promoted by the Duisburg Group around S. and M. Jäger, who keenly draw on Foucault’s approach to discourse analysis and Link’s discourse theory; (5) the Oldenburg approach, which is upheld by Gloy, Januschek, and others; and (6) the “Viennese” and “Lancaster” traditions of CDA, often termed the “discourse historical approach” and sometimes “discourse sociolinguistics.”

Abstract Two branches of discourse studies, critical discourse analysis (CDA) and discourse theory (DT), could benefit through extending their critical focus and incorporating findings and methodologies of neighbouring disciplines. While indebted to the attentiveness of CDA to ordinary language, ideology studies have by contrast developed interpretative, non-judgmental analytical frameworks that explore the many-faceted features of ideology, power, and the political. In turn, the macro-focus of DT on binary distinctions, articulatory equivalences, and the construction of hegemony through empty signifiers, overlooks the complex internal conceptual morphology that produces multiple ideological vocabularies. Through a layered filtering of texts, utterances, and linguistic intensities, ideological micro-morphology reveals processes of semantic decontestation in order to defend, alter or criticize political thought-practices. It illuminates the complex interrelationship between word and concept and accepts fantasies as ineluctable and decodable features of communal life. By reaching out beyond their disciplinary confines, the interplay of these parallel approaches could enrich the scholarly understanding of the political.

Authenticity is a particularly sensitive and salient issue in the online market for second-hand luxury clothing, and it is still little explored in the field of consumption studies. In this study we sought to analyze how authenticity is represented in discursive practices of the Brazilian online market for second-hand luxury clothing. The corpus of the work consisted of data collected through interviews in five stores of the Brazilian online market of luxury second-hand clothing. The data were analyzed using the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), proposed by Fairclough (1992), articulated to the sociocultural perspective of consumption. From the discursive categories Subject, Interdiscursivity, Intertextuality, Transitivity System, and Appraisal System, we perceived that the process of legitimizing the stores and the representations of authenticity are overlapped and traversed significantly by historical, social, and cultural aspects. We conclude that insofar as it becomes difficult to ensure objective authenticity, an interpretative dimension emerges, elaborated from the influence of sociocultural factors that underlie the judgment on what is authentic luxury, which in the scenario investigated are indexes of expression of high luxury. In this case, the origins and trajectories that are recognized as references of elite distinction for Brazilian consumers are important elements for the interpretation of authenticity.

Abstract : This study discusses the discourse of sexual violence that occurs among women in online media coverage. Good media can display balanced information. Various reports related to sexual harassment often experienced by women can be represented in a discourse differently. At present the exploitation of women is carried out through more intellectual and neatly packaged methods, one of which is through discourse revealed in the mass media. Women in the media are positioned visually prominent , but also marginalized in meaning. If this continues, it will reinforce the existence of gender differences between women and men which has implications for the potential for increasing gender oppression with women as victims. The problem discussed in this study is a critical discourse analysis using the theory of Sara Mils. The discussion of Sara Mills around discourse theory makes the discourse of feminism a vortex of study. In addition, it also addresses women's issues such as how women are displayed in text, images, photos and in the news. The focus of this study is to examine 1) how the text experiences bias in representing women in the text, 2) how the marginalization of women is formed in weakening women's position.Abstrak: Penelitian ini membahas tentang wacana kekerasan seksual yang terjadi di kalangan perempuan dalam pemberitaan media online. Media yang baik dapat menampilkan informasi yang berimbang. Berbagai pemberitaan terkait pelecehan seksual sering dialami perempuan dapat direpresentasikan  ke dalam sebuah wacana secara berbeda-beda. Saat ini eksploitasi terhadap perempuan dilakukan melalui cara-cara yang lebih intelektual dan dikemas secara apik, salah satunya melalui wacana yang diungkap dalam media massa. Perempuan dalam media diposisikan yang menonjol secara visual, tetapi juga terpinggirkan dalam makna. Hal tersebut jika terus dibiarkan, akan mempertegas adanya perbedaan gender antara perempuan dengan laki-laki yang berimplikasi pada potensi meningkatnya penindasan gender dengan perempuan sebagai korbannya. Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah  analisis wacana kritis menggunakan teori Sara Mils. Pembahasan Sara Mills seputar teori wacana menjadikan wacana feminisme sebagai pusaran kajiannya. Selain itu juga membahas isu-isu perempuan seperti bagaimana perempuan ditampilkan dalam teks, gambar, foto serta dalam berita. Fokus penelitian ini  yaitu mengkaji 1) bagaimana teks mengalami bias dalam merepresantasikan perempuan dalam teks, 2) bagaimana marginalisasi perempuan terbentuk dalam pelemahan posisi perempuan.

This article discusses critical discourse theory as a qualitative research theory. Analytical frameworks include analysis of texts, communication and social practices in local, corporate and social levels. It has the goal of expressing and engaging in politics to discuss or deal with certain research methods, statements or values. It refers to the need to explain, understand, analyze, and criticize social life that reflects in text using critical discourse analysis. According to Lake (1996), “the authors use texts to understand their world and at the same time, the article admits to creating actions and social relationships in everyday life, while text positions and individual buildings provide different meanings, ideas, and world versions”.

This paper tries to indicate how the candidates of Iran’s eleventh presidential election attempted to rise to power by the means of language. In this analysis, the discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe is applied. The candidates tried to win the battlefield of election by creating exclusion borders and excluding their rivals. Critical discourse analysis is a methodology that can reveal ideological purposes behind the political discourses to reflect the hidden Realities. The study of the debates between presidential candidates shows that Hassan Rouhani was elected because he could exclude other discourses resulting from the rising sociopolitical crisis. Nevertheless, He could not articulate his floating signifiers and his discourse was not hegemonic.

The article is devoted to the characterization of traditional ceramics of Bukovyna XIX – XX centuries and its role and place in the interior of the people’s home. This issue is covered taking into account the belonging of certain Bukovyna territories to various ethnographic groups and historical and administrative areas and its presence in the composition of foreign states in different historical periods. The article reveals the migration, historical and cultural processes that influenced plots and ornamental motifs on ceramic objects. The conducted historical-ethnographic and art-study analysis gives grounds to compare the Bukovynian products with pottery and industrial ceramics of the countries of Central and Western Europe. The species and local names and purposes of pottery, regional variations of silhouettes and forms, the dependence of decor on the application of the subject, the semantics of individual elements of the ornament, and the peculiarities of the technology are also studied. Keywords: Bukovyna, traditional dwelling, interior, dishes, cell, ceramics, drawing, glaze, faience,style

This article has explored and examined the ways of using the classroom language in primary school by Ethnography of communication (EC) and Critical discourse analysis (CDA). The classroom is a setting in which schoolboys and their social position are located. Causal force of the discursive space seems to be extremely effective in delimitation and incarceration of the mind. The position of every particular schoolboy (and schoolgirl) in this field is a result of the interaction between the specific rules of the field, language, interpretation and illusion. Masculine habitus is created not only by the way of using language and a spectrum of performative acts but also through the knowledge construction process during the learning practice. School is a special place where masculine habitus is produced and reproduced, day by day, according to the logic of the classroom field.
