This book suggests that journalism plays a more radical role in politics, and explores new ways of thinking about news media discourse. It develops an approach to investigating both hegemonic discourse and discursive fissures, inconsistencies and tensions. By analysing international news coverage of post-Soviet Russia, including the Beslan hostage-taking, Gazprom, Litvinenko and human rights issues, it demonstrates the (re)production of the 'common-sense' social order in which one particular area of the world is more developed, civilized and democratic than other areas. However, drawing on Laclau, Mouffe and other post-foundational thinkers, it also suggests that journalism is precisely the site where the instability of this global social order becomes visible. The book should be of interest to scholars of discourse analysis, journalism and communication studies, cultural studies and political science, and to anyone interested in 'positive' discourse analysis and practical counter-discursive strategies.Discourse approaches to politics, society, and culture ;40.Discourse analysisPolitical aspectsEuropeDiscourse analysisPolitical aspectsUnited StatesForeign newsPolitical aspectsEuropeForeign newsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesMass media and languageEuropeMass media and languageUnited StatesRussia (Federation)Press coverageEuropeRussia (Federation)Press coverageUnited StatesDiscourse analysisPolitical aspectsDiscourse analysisPolitical aspectsForeign newsPolitical aspectsForeign newsPolitical aspectsMass media and languageMass media and language070.4/49947086Macgilchrist Felicitas891761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964518003321Journalism and the political4344699UNINA03064nam 22005535 450 991095490290332120251117081958.01-4875-1186-81-4875-1185-X10.3138/9781487511852(CKB)3710000000887158(MiAaPQ)EBC4699950(DE-B1597)498547(DE-B1597)9781487511852(OCoLC)959713779(MdBmJHUP)musev2_107352(EXLCZ)99371000000088715820191221d2018 fg engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBorders in Service Enactments of Nationhood in Transnational Call Centres /Kiran Mirchandani, Winifred PosterToronto : University of Toronto Press, [2018]©20161 online resource (289 pages) illustrations, charts1-4875-0080-7 1-4875-2059-X Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Cover ; Title Page ; Copyright Page ; Contents; Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1.
