In the contemporary West, the non-Western world is still rarely read about, spoken of, or listened to. If at all, then it more often than not figures as the ‘Other’, removed from Western self-experience and deviant from ‘the norms’ arid ‘the standards’. If and when, for some dramatic reason, the Other is invoked in Western discourse, then it is usu...
So far, in the practical part of discourse studies, I have been re-describing past and present discourses — deconstructing the Western discourse of contradictions (Chapter 4), highlighting marginalized non-Western Other’s discourses (Chapter 5) and reconstituting historical discourses of ‘troubled’ communities (Chapter 6). Now, in this final chapte...
Northern Ireland is one of those few places on earth that are known the world over for all the wrong reasons. Consequently much social scientific research has been done to account for its problems. This work, involving political, historical, cultural, sociological and psychological sciences, often seems to conclude that it is some external, residua...
In Chapter 3, I suggested that one of the useful ways to confront cultural power and prejudice is to reflect on a culture’s discourse about other cultures, or the discourse of cultural ‘otherness’ or Other. More particularly, I proposed that efforts should be made to identify or rearticulate culturally domineering and demeaning discourses and, furt...
At the end of the last chapter, I raised the reflexive issue of the status of theoretical discourse in relation to alternative versions, real or potential. The question there related to my own account of discourse, of course: I rejected the realist position of representationalism and then suggested a different, reality-constitutive one. Is my own v...
Towards the end of the last chapter, I declared that the present reality-constitutive and culturally pluralist perspective on discourse is motivated to achieve an explicit form of cultural politics: to help facilitate cultural cohesion and common prosperity. More particularly and specifically, the current proposed theoretical position of CAD is ori...
Any theory of language, communication or discourse will carry with it some underlying assumption about how it is related to the world. In philosophical terms, it will take a certain epistemological stance. It is hard to imagine a theory of human speech that does not have some assumption about how the world, hence knowledge of it, is accessed and ho...

... La realidad es algo a lo que no podemos acceder directamente, sino solo a través del lenguaje. Y el lenguaje no es un espejo de la realidad, es decir, no la trasmite a nosotros de manera transparente, "tal cual es"; por el contrario, al referirse a ella la construye, porque el significado está en la manera en que las personas utilizan las palabras (Fairclough 1992, Hall 1997, Van Dijk 1999, Shi-xu 2009). Este juego permanente entre la realidad y el lenguaje es lo que ha permitido que las mismas cifras puedan, al mismo tiempo, favorecer o perjudicar a Susana Villarán. ...
