Unintended Outcome

Artikkelen fokuserer på korleis fleirspråklegheit trer fram i læreplan- og lærebok­diskursar knytt til norskfaget. Korleis tematiserer lærebøkene fleirspråklegheit ut frå dei føringane læreplanen gir forfattarane, og er diskursen mynta på alle elevar? I eit kritisk diskursanalytisk perspektiv er det sentrale å sjå korleis ideologiske forhold vert reprodu­serte gjennom språk, og korleis makt skjuler seg i det usagte. Dersom fleirspråklegheit ikkje vert verdsett og anerkjent som ein ressurs for alle elevar i lærebokdiskursen, vil det vera eit utilsikta utfall som kan verka ekskluderande på nokre elevar. Analysen viser at det føreligg diskursar som kan verka ekskluderande i lærebøkene. Dette vert halde fram som døme på at det finst ein «skjult» læreplan når det gjeld handsaminga av fleirspråklegheit og fleirspråklege elevar i dagens norskfag. Manglande definisjon av nøkkelomgrepet «fleirspråklegheit» er ei hovudforklaring, men også at eit problem­orientert og einspråkleg syn på fleirspråklegheit er rådande i norskfaget. Som andre læreverkanalysar konkluderer med, viser også denne studien at fleirspråklegheit er presentert som spesialtilfelle og ikkje som ein normalsituasjon (Loftsdóttir, 2009; Marx, 2014; Andersson-Bakken & Bakken, 2017; Niehaus, 2018; Kulbrandstad, 2020). Alt i alt er det fortsatt lite diskusjon og merksemd rundt lærebøkenes innhald og den rolla dei spelar som formidlarar av det som vert oppfatta som nasjonale verdiar og normer (Røthing, 2015b). Nøkkelord: fleirspråklegheit, mangfald, norskfaget, læreplanstudiar lærebøker   Conditions for multilingualism in the Norwegian L1 education – An analysis of curricula and textbooks with a focus on multilingual competence goals Abstract The article focuses on how multilingualism is addressed in curriculum and textbook discourses related to the Norwegian L1 subject. How is multilingualism thematised in the textbooks according to the guidelines the curriculum gives the authors, and do the discourses seem to be aimed at all students? Within a critical discourse analysis, it is of main interest to look at how ideological conditions are reproduced through language, and how power is hidden in the unspoken. If multilingualism is not valued and recognised as a resource for all students within the textbook discourses, it will be an unintended outcome of the curriculum that may exclude some students. The analysis shows that there are excluding discourses in the textbooks. This is pointed out as an example of a “hidden” curriculum when it comes to how the L1 subject treats multi­lingualism and multilingual students. Lack of definition of the key concept “multi­lingualism” is a major explanation. Another cause is that a problem-oriented and mono­lingual approach to multilingualism is prevalent in the Norwegian L1 subject. This study also concludes that multilingualism is presented as special cases and not as a normal situation in school textbooks as other research has found (Loftsdóttir, 2009; Marx, 2014; Andersson-Bakken & Bakken, 2017; Niehaus, 2018; Kulbrandstad, 2020). In sum, there is still little discussion about textbooks’ content and the important role that they play as mediators of what is perceived as national norms and values (Røthing, 2015b).

Abstract Background Previous research has indicated that migrants risk facing inequities both internationally and in Sweden; integration policies are therefore important to study. How health is described in policies affects how health interventions are approached. A discourse analysis offers a way of understanding how health is framed within the integration policies of the Establishment Program. The aim was to critically analyse the health discourses used in Swedish and European Union (EU) integration policies. Methods A critical discourse analysis, inspired by Fairclough, was performed on integration policies related to Sweden, on local, regional, national and the EU level. The policies of the Establishment Program, which focuses on newly arrived migrants (refugees, persons of subsidiary protection and their relatives who arrived through family reunification), were chosen for the analysis, and 17 documents were analysed in total. Results The analysis of the documents showed that although no definition of health was presented, health discourses were expressed in the form of the medicalization of health and the individualization of health. This not only by the terminology used, but also in how the healthcare sector was considered responsible for any health related issue and how individual health behaviours were of focus in interventions to promote health. Conclusions A pathogenic approach to health was visible in the policies and individual disease prevention was the main health focus. The results showed similarities to previous research highlighting how a particular understanding of health in a neoliberal context is formed. Key messages Health as a resource is missing in the integration policy documents. Viewing health as an individual quality puts the responsibility of promoting health on the individual.

The paper based on the content of the Facebook group Immigrants in EU and The Daily Mail publications discusses the issue of discursive construction of an immigrant image in media discourse. Using the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the authors claim that the image of an immigrant can be viewed as a discursive construct, and the main discursive strategies involved in its construction include the reference strategy and the prediction strategy. As a result of the analysis, the so called CDA-categories (topic blocks) underlying the formation of the immigrant figure, are identified and illustrated by the relevant examples, the need for further study of the social media discourse as part of critical discourse analysis is justified. The relevance of such study is due to the growing research interest in discursive construction of the immigrant figure in the media discourse, since it underpins the definition of discourse as a form of social practice, not only reflecting processes in the society, but also exerting a reciprocal effect on them. The use of both verbal and non-verbal means in the media texts under study reflects the intention of the authors of the messages to use all possible communication channels when constructing an immigrant’s image. The results show that the dichotomy of “friends and foes” is being formed and maintained by the British newspaper The Daily Mail, while the members of the Immigrants in EU group try to mitigate the conflict between immigrants and indigenous people.

General Difference

The Internet is a communication space where newly formed communities are searching for ways to reflect on their social nature. We provide a theoretical framework to demonstrate how humor was used to manipulate social groups before and after the emergence of the media. We use Critical Discourse Analysis and pragmatics to study several cases of social manipulation through humor. The two Internet communities, 2ch and Pikabu, being among the largest Russian-speaking entertainment communities, often compete and use humor as a way to manipulate their representatives for social purposes: to consolidate, fight back, reflect on the norms and values of their community. Our research shows that these communities follow the old traditions of humor and laughter in order to organize a poorly regulated information space. Although 2chers tend to use trolling more often, there is no general difference between these communities in the way they use humor to manipulate their social group.

The article is devoted to the research of crowd as a text and discourse object and the definition of discourse parameters of crowd. The author compares the formulation of conception about crowd as text and discourse with the formation of anthropocentric paradigm in linguistics that was developing from text and linguistic identity to discourse and discourse identity/community. Projecting the results of scientific researches of XIX-XX centuries (works by G. Le Bon, E. Canetti, T. Tarde, S. Freud ect.) onto linguistic sphere, the author makes a conclusion that the crowd phenomenon was reviewed in the text dimension with the following characteristics: hyper- and intertextuality, inculcation of ideas through such factors as race, beliefs, traditions, time, education and upbringing: the transmission of the key codes by word-concepts that have conclusive sense (FREEDOM, EQUAILITY, FAMILY VALUES ect.); the usage of suggestive means to encourage crowd for some specific actions, ect. The transformation of text-crowd to discourse-crowd begins with the globalization of mass movements. For researching the crowd as a discourse, the pressing approaches of critical discourse analysis are the research of "authority in discourse and authority over discourse"; discourse is ideologically colored and built into specific culture, ideology or history; discourse is a form of social conduct. The research of the crowd as a discourse has to be carried out in marginal dimension in the junction of sciences – linguistics, psychology, sociology and jurisprudence. Critical discourse analysis as a scientific approach combines the approaches of different sciences and makes it possible not only to study crowd in discourse dimension but also to foresee possible proactive means to define narratives, messages, concepts that allow to organize social conduct to the crowd peacefully.

Attention to women’s low participation in information technology is framed in Canada and elsewhere in terms of concern over availability of well-qualified human resources (ITAC & IDC, 2002) as well as equity issues (Applewhite, 2002; Ramsey & McCorduck, 2005). In most of these discussions, IT Professional is equated with Computer Scientist or Engineer in spite of the evidence that the profession is more diverse. This article suggests that while those directions are worthwhile, the very definition of “information technology professional” framed in the discourse may have unintended consequences which tend to exclude women. Framed by the literatures on gender and institutionalization of professions, this article applies critical discourse analysis to a variety of “texts” concerning the IT profession in Canada as well as available empirical data. Critical discourse analysis focuses on surfacing the political structures which underlie taken for granted assumptions (Fairclough, 1995). We maintain that while it is critically important to continue to attract females to study computer science and engineering, it is equally important to ensure that multiple paths are available and respected and that narrow definitions are not systemic barriers to the participation of women in the IT profession. In addition, more inclusive definitions which broaden the perspective on information technology (and match the reality of the industry) will promote good technology practices.

This commentary discusses the Swartz and Lappeman article asking us to rethink the word violence and its potential to “disempower the women that it is meant to empower.” The commentary examines the term violence through a critical lens that underscores the need for critical discourse analysis as a driver to deepening a widely somewhat antiquated definition of violence. It explores the enabling and constraining complexity of identity work associated with using the label of victim and suggests a more comprehensive approach that considers the linkages between intention, practices, structures, and context to foster a more transformative understanding of violence.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show evidence of the undetermined expansion of Polanyi’s fictitious commodities within the Brazilian nuclear context. The issue of the marketification of social agendas has drawn a lot of attention to the data, collected through in-depth interviews. The analytical process was guided by the decolonial theory approach and by critical discourse analysis. Among the analysis’ main findings, it is possible to point out the elaboration of a framework which reveals the mechanisms employed by the Brazilian nuclear segment as a way of exercising parallel power and silencing social agendas. The main contributions are the temporal and geopolitical updating of Polanyi’s thesis; and the definition of the mechanisms used by the company Eletronuclear and by institutions as a way of co-optation, naturalisation and marketification of social and political agendas.

The lack of a clear definition of radicalism leads Islamic organisations to feel entitled to interpret it. It results in contention for the meaning of radicalism and forms a different reality for each reader. By taking a case study on two spectra of Islamic organisations, moderate Islamic organisation (NU Online) and Islamic extremist organisation (Portal Islam), this study aims to understand the construction of radicalism in two Islamic news portals. We utilised a dataset of news about radicalism from September 2018-2019 and analysed it using a combination of corpus linguistic (CL) and critical discourse analysis (CDA). While CL helped to reveal emerging discourses, CDA intended to observe the patterns and relate them into socio-political contexts critically. The results indicate that each site was blurring the information function of news portals into a propaganda function. They also generate fragmented knowledge, which leads to a misrepresentation of paradigm towards radicalism. This leads to discriminatory actions against other groups. The meaning of radicalism in the media may encourage group dichotomy, which is counterproductive to countering terrorism in Indonesia. This study contributes to a comprehension of the terrorism phenomenon by providing a closer view of how moderate and extreme Islamic organisations interpret radicalism.

<p><em>This article examines the fatwa of Bahtsul Masa’il on women using Critical Discourse Analysis. Two matters of research problem is how Bahtsul Masa’il fatwa on women and how the Critical Discourse Analysis of the fatwa Bahtsul Masa’il about women. There are twelve fatwa on women decided by Bahtsul Masa’il forum, seven of which talk about the role of women in the public world. They were analyzed using Critical Discourse Analysis framework involving three levels of analysis, namely text, social cognition and context. Texts of Bahtsul Masa’il decision on women represent women as being vulnerable to libel and can bring slander. Women are also represented as weak creatures who need supervision and protection of men. Fatwa text that is bias arises from the procedure of making fatwa which highly favor the yellow book. While the yellow book itself tends to put women in the private sphere and look down on women. In addition, the frame of the community producing Bahtsul Masa’il fatwa (religious leader and religius students) are also the result of the internalization of norms and values of yellow book as the idol at the pesantren. In context level, the fatwa which tends to give a negative identity toward women is born out of the context of the patriarchal society.</em></p>
