Learning outcomes
|
This course is an introduction to fundamental terms, concepts and methods of critical discourse analysis; among other topics, we will be touching on how CDA relates to other fields as sources of (potential) inspiration, and we will also be talking about major figures of CDA, such as Norman Fairclough, Theo van Leeuwen, Teun van Dijk or Ruth Wodak. Critically reading their texts and applying proposed methods in practical exercises, we will be exploring differences across various approaches to discourse analysis as well as variation in topics in the chosen texts.
Be knowledgeable of fundamental terms and concepts of CDA, including relations to other fields Have knowledge of major proponents of CDA and their respective approaches Be able to critically assess a mass media message in terms of genres, types of representation and styles Apply CDA on case studies
