Abstract
This paper selects from a longer chapter which recapitulates and extends discussions on antiadministration (anti-admin) from the perspective of discourse theory. First, it discusses discourse theory, explaining that the discourses of anti-admin aim toward the inclusion of marginalized or excluded perspectives. Second, it outlines some anti-admin theory. Parallel to the action of antimatter and matter, the interaction of freshly demarginalized discourse perspectives and traditional discourse can yield anti-admin resultants. Used in describing these resultants is the Herbert Marcuse’s notion of one-dimensional man. Third, the paper offers macro and micro examples of anti-admin gains in terms of problem definition and response resources. It underscores that antiadmin can recognize its affinity not only to the postmodern but also to critical theory perspectives.
