Discourse, Technology and Change

Autor Brenton Faber
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2012
Discourse, Technology and Change presents a detailed analysis of discourses that initiate, enable, and stabilise social change in organizational contexts. The book examines the function of written discourse within this setting to examine the dynamic relationships between writing, technology, and socio-cultural change. Focusing on everyday texts used to create technical and social change, the book offers a detailed study of the intersections of discourse, technology and persuasion illustrated through an empirical case study of technological change in an academic institution. The book seriously engages the claim that texts dually construct and reflect social networks and social action. Working at both the micro and macro textual level, the book examines the functions of change discourse, providing a framework for understanding how change is constituted within social networks. This cutting-edge monograph will be of interest to academics researching discourse analysis and applied linguistics.

Recenzii

The way the author attempts to integrate macro and micro approaches to text analysis , especially in the study of social change, is fascinating ... The canvas of this book is broad and amazing: it attracts scholars drawn from discourse studies, rhetoric, organization studies, management and technology studies, English and Language Teaching (ELT), and technology practitioners and researchers in technical communication, professional communication, public relations, technology management and information technology.
[Faber] is building the groundings for the next stage of work in this area
This work is going to be important both as an analysis and as a model for how this sort of analysis should be done
