DISCOURSE CULTURE AND ORGANIZATION GEBUNDEN

This edited volume brings together leading international researchers from across the social
sciences to examine the theoretical premises  methodological options and critical potentials of
the Essex School of discourse analysis  founded on the work of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal
Mouffe. In doing so  it presents a clear picture of a poststructuralist and post-foundational
research program to postdisciplinary discourse research. Divided into three parts  it begins by
elaborating the ontological  theoretical and methodological foundations of the Essex School's
approach to discourse analysis. The second part provides empirical case studies showing how the
Essex School research program informs and instructs empirical discourse research. In the
concluding third part authors explain how and with what possible consequences this strand of
discourse research contributes to social practices of critique. It offers a crucial
contribution to the further methodologization and operationalization of the Essex School's
approach so as to make it a viable alternative to discourse-analytical approaches that take
dominant positions in today's 'field of discourse studies'. The book's transdisciplinary focus
will attract readers who use discourse analysis in all areas of the social sciences and
humanities  particularly applied linguistics  cultural anthropology  sociology  philosophy and
history.
