| ||||||||
| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||
The
focus of this course is on the ‘critical’ study of discourse, specifically in
terms of how the use of language and other semiotic resources is implicated in
(re)producing and perpetuating ideological interests and power relations in
contemporary society. Students will be introduced to conceptual and analytic
frameworks for the critical investigation of linguistic and visual data in
various social domains and institutional settings, such as politics and
governance, media and advertising, and corporate branding and communication,
and be sensitized to how semiotic features reflect and enact particular
ideological underpinnings, authority relations, and social currents.
