Description

Discourse Studies for social movements requires a nuanced understanding of the language and communication used by activists. This introduction, written by leading theorist Teun A. van Dijk, provides a systematic approach to analyzing discourses in social movements. Concrete examples of discourse are essential for studying social movements, as they encompass not only formal activities like marches and press conferences but also everyday talk and online interactions. By examining these discourses in detail, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying structures and concepts that shape social movements. This book offers a detailed theoretical account of the notion of "solidarity" within the Refugees Welcome movement, providing a much-needed introduction to the most important structures of discourse.
