Description
Discourse (The New Critical Idiom) by Sara Mills provides a comprehensive analysis of the term 'discourse' and its theoretical assumptions. This revised edition explores the historical development of discourse, examining Foucault's use of the term in linguistics, social psychology, and feminist theory. Mills also discusses the work of various discourse theorists, including Zizek and Bourdieu, and updates the bibliography to reflect recent developments in critical discourse analysis. With a new glossary and suggestions for further reading, this guidebook remains an invaluable resource for students of literary theory. Suitable for those looking to understand the concept of discourse and its applications in various fields, this book offers a thorough introduction to the subject.
