Description
Posthumanism and Deconstructing Arguments: Corpora and Digitally-driven Critical Analysis presents a new approach to Critical Discourse Studies. This book provides a data-driven method for evaluating arguments in the public sphere, focusing on ethical analysis.
It explores how digital tools can be used to generate 'ethical subjectivities' from large numbers of dissenting voices online, drawing on posthumanist philosophy and key thinkers such as Derrida, Deleuze, and Guattari. The book also showcases a critical deconstructive approach using corpus linguistic programs.
This book is relevant for lecturers and researchers interested in critical discourse studies, critical thinking, corpus linguistics, and digital humanities, offering a practical and ethically-based method for examining arguments in the public sphere.
