| Omschrijving | This course provides a hands-on introduction to conducting research for the BA thesis. In small groups students will design a research project and conduct an analysis of the selected sample under the close supervision of the instructor. The research method that will be covered in this course is Discourse Analysis - and in particular - critical discourse analysis (CDA). We will explore the following questions: • What is discourse? • How has discourse been studied (in media studies)? • To what extent does language shape social identities, social relations, and systems of knowledge and belief? • How do texts construct subjects and subjectivities? • How do readers make meaning through texts? • How do texts carry values and norms? What discursive mechanisms build up and naturalize social/economic/political/cultural relations? • How are struggles for power and control carried out in discourse? • How are we controlled by others through language and symbols? (And how do we control others?) • What are the relations between texts, discursive practices and socio-cultural practices? • Should researchers be politically engaged? • What counts as relevant/interesting/valid analysis? |
