The Discourses of Capitalism: Everyday Economists and the Production of Common Sense de Christian W. Chun

The Discourses of Capitalism: Everyday Economists and the Production of Common Sense: Language, Society and Political Economy

Autor Christian W. Chun
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2017
Since the global economic crisis of 2007–2008, ‘capitalism’ has been the topic of widespread general discussion in both mainstream and social media. In this book, Christian W. Chun examines the discourses of capitalism taken up by people in their responses to a street art installation created by Steve Lambert, entitled Capitalism Works for Me! In doing so, he considers several key questions, including:
  • How do everyday people view and make sense of capitalism and its role in their work and personal lives?
  • What are the discourses they use in their common-sense understandings of the economy to defend or reject capitalism as a system?
Chun looks at how dominant discourses in social circulation operate to co-construct and support capitalism, and the accompanying counter-discourses that critique it. This is key reading for advanced students of discourse analysis, language and globalization/politics, media/communication studies, and related areas. A video lecture by the author can be accessed via the Routledge website (www.routledge.com/9781138807105) and the Routledge Language and Communication Portal (www.routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/languageandcommunication).

Recenzii

“Based on his own life history and embodied praxis, Christian Chun offers us a rare authentic voice in this powerful  yet sensitive study of how Americans discursively turn capitalism into common sense. Oscillating between Marxian theory and observations of contemporary events and employing innovative research tactics, this study can serve as a model for mature critical inquiry.” Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
 "Christian Chun's work contributes significantly to growing criticism of the stale, ossified rationalization of the capitalist status-quo that comprises so much of contemporary economics and presents itself as a science above partisan ideologies. Important reading for any serious engagement with modern economics." Richard D. Wolff, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA

Descriere

Since the global economic crisis of 2007-2008, ‘capitalism’ has been the topic of widespread general discussion in both mainstream and social media. In this book, Christian Chun examines the discourses of capitalism taken up by people in their responses to a street art installation created by Steve Lambert, entitled Capitalism works for me! In doing so, he considers several key questions including:

  • How do everyday people view and make sense of capitalism and its role in their work and personal lives?
  • What are the discourses they use in their common-sense understandings of the economy to defend or reject capitalism as a system?

Chun looks at how dominant discourses in social circulation operate to co-construct and support capitalism, and the accompanying counter-discourses that critique it. This is key reading for advanced students of discourse analysis, language and globalisation/politics, media/communication studies and related areas.
