Description
The book is an introduction into discourse analysis and an application of the concept of discourse to the exercise of power. In part one, the concept is demarcated vis à vis related notions such as “text” and “narrative”. At the same time, discourse is considered as an instrument of domination. In part two, sociology of the text as a reformulation of structural semiotics (Greimas) is applied to psychiatric, legal, political and scientific discourses as instruments of power.
