Formation Of Discourse Research Articles

Инстанции разграничения в дискурсе рок-культуры

The main concepts of the article are discourse and instances of delineation. This is a set of social institutions that can form the structure of discourse, identify its main and secondary segments. The aim of the research is identification of the instances of delineation in the discourse of rock-culture. The methods of this research included narrative interviews with agents of rock-culture and discourse-analysis. Agents of rock-culture are musicians, their close friends, collector of discs, fans. The research allows us to draw the following conclusions. In the discourse of rock-culture the role of such institutions is fulfilled by a friend, a senior member of family, media and music shops. The friend that structures the discourse should have authority and prestige. They define aesthetic positions, give assessments and exert informational impact. A friend can influence both temporarily and permanently. A senior member of the family affects the discourse in the same way. Other instances of delineation are media and music shops. Media has the effect in rock-discourse of setting the agenda. Methods of forming the agenda are nomination of facts and rankings. A music shop organizes conversation between different agents of rock-culture. A shop operates like media. It provides positive nomination segments of discourse: the demanded goods create a certain verbal series influencing a visitor of the shop. A visitor enters a certain context that leads them to perceive themselves as a referent product that can further the thesaurus of the subject. The structure of the discourse formation is determined by the institutions that act both in the public and in the private field of cultural being. The public instances of delineation are media and musical shops (or market in the reality of Soviet culture). So the discourse of rock performs a double function. It introduces the subject into the sphere of social and cultural innovations. At the same time rock that has a private character returns one to cultural traditions.

The reader behind the narration, the novels of Saad Muhammad Rahim "by choice"

Meta is one of the important technologies dealt with by postmodern novels that dealt with addressing discourse formation process within the fictional work, and the reader was one of the important elements upon which the metanarrative construction is based. It is known that the metanarrative novel or postmodernity questions and discusses the process of creating a novel to declare in the end that the truth is relative and can be viewed from all directions, and by revealing the content metanarrative of Saad Muhammad Rahim, we find that the reader has an important role, as he occupied a large part of that world and formed an axis on which the concerns of the novel revolve, and we review the most prominent details in his works novelist.

중세 요시쓰네 원령화(怨靈化)의 특징 －어령신과 호간비이키담론의 형성과정을 중심으로－

The Yoshitsune vindictive spirit has an ambivalent image as a god with scary principles and a weak underdog as the main character of Hogan-biiki. The characteristics of the Yoshitsune vindictive spirit in the Middle Ages were examined regarding how it was established and transformed through historical records and literary works, as well as the possibility of being a god of command and the formation of the Hogan-biiki discourse on the weak Yoshitsune.BR Regarding the perception of the Yoshitsune vindictive spirit, it was considered that the change in the perception of the period of the ruler and the people toward Yoshitsune occurred in the social and political structure rather than the conditions of the character Yoshitsune itself.BR Accordingly, we examined the characteristics of the Yoshitsune vindictive spirit in historical books and literary works. Then, the consideration in Noh, in which Yoshitsune directly appears as a prime minister, will be taken as a future task.

Unpacking ableist discourses in Cypriot education policy during the pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, children with disabilities were confronted with ableist discourses that justified unfair policy measures. This study is concerned with the discourses recorded in a range of education documents, published during the pandemic within the Republic of Cyprus. It employs an interdisciplinary framework, informed by Critical Discourse Analysis, Inclusive Education, and Critical Disability Studies, to examine the powerful actors and the ideologies that influenced the formation of discourses. The paper undertakes a critical interpretation of the disability discourses developed in Cyprus during the pandemic, links this with other relevant research conducted in other European countries prior to and during the pandemic, and suggests policy actions/measures that value children with disabilities and their families.

Distinguishing between neurosis and psychosis: discourses on neurosis in colonial Korea.

This article analyses the origins and formation of medical and social discourses on neurosis in colonial Korea. With the introduction of Western medicine after the Opening of Korea in 1876, neurasthenia and hysteria began to be understood as neurotic diseases, and their importance was further highlighted during the colonial period of 1910-45. The article also addresses the role of neuropsychiatry in forming discourses on neurosis. In medical communities during the colonial period, the main source of these discourses gradually shifted from internal medicine to neuropsychiatry. In particular, Korean neuropsychiatrists distinguished between neurosis and psychosis as a way to reinforce their authority. Neuropsychiatrists tried to explain the temperamental and environmental factors of neurosis from a psychoanalytic standpoint.

Socio-cultural foundations of discourse and modern transformation

The article considers the place and role of discourse in human life. The basis for this is the im- portance of language and speech as one of the leading features of humanity. Thanks to language, a person’s own reality is formed, which has a semantic character. Four dimensions of the effect of speech in the constitution of the human world are identified. These are: the function of se- mantic productivity and reliability of speech; function of organization and accumulation of ex- perience; the function of normativity of human life; personalization function. The acquisition of the discourse format by speech is associated with the assertion of significance and substantiation of the validity of judgments. These qualities of discursive practices are inseparable from their normative effect. If speech as such is dominated by the effect of communication and statements, the discourse is primarily a semantic ordering of reality. It always creates, transforms or cancels a certain semantic order. The thesis on the growing role of discursive practices in the contempo- rary world is substantiated. This is due to the epoch-making changes in human life, namely the end of the era of production. The whole history of human civilization can be represented as the development of production (from the invention of the production mode of economy in the form of the Neolithic revolution). The end of the era of production means at the same time the actu- alization of the great historical task of man’s appeal to himself, to his own nature and organic ability to live. Taking care of yourself, not the conditions of existence (external goods) will be a priority for human development in the near historical perspective. However, this reorientation of human existence is confronted with the contradictory impact of virtualization of reality for man, which entails changes in the classical vocation of discourse. In this regard, the effect of discourses in the highly powerful information environment of today is analyzed, which is becoming the leading force of global reality in the form of information power.

The Indonesian Council Ulama (MUI) and Religious Discourse In Indonesia

This paper wants to explore the existence and role of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in religious discourse and practice in Indonesia. This research is library research using the theory of Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough. The approach of this research is the political approach of Islamic law in Indonesia. Results This study found research findings related to the existence and role of MUI in the process of forming Islamic discourse in Indonesia. The MUI was designed by the government of the New Order Era as a medium of communication between the government and the ulama. The position of MUI in this era is more dominant in its role as "khodimul Hukumah" (government servant) and in the reform order its role has shifted to "khodimul ummah" (servant of the ummah). MUI as a big umbrella for Muslims has played a big role in shaping religious discourse in Indonesia through its products, namely fatwas and non-fatwas. Among the non-fatwa are in the form of tawsiyah, Tadzkiroh, amanah, attitude statements and appeals. Even though the fatwa and non-fatwa are morally binding, politically legal products of MUI products are often accommodated by the government into a legally binding public policy (law). In this context, the MUI has had an influence in the formation of religious discourse through the process of transformation from religious authority to state authority through government public policies.More about this source textSource text required for additional translation informationSend feedbackSide panels

The Image of Peter I as Visual Propaganda of the State Ideology in Russian Pre-revolutionary Journalism

On the basis of continuous review of 45 Russian magazines and newspapers of 1809–1918, the author of the article managed to single out a significant array of illustrations dedicated to the image of Peter I. The visual series was considered using the contextual method; at the same time, three thematic subgroups were picked out for study: Peter the Great as the Father of the Country, the formation of the imperial thinking discourse, the sacredness of the memory of Peter. Peter appears as a wise, courageous and non-standard reformer who was ready to give his life for the good of the country, while not sparing the potency of his subjects. The deification of Peter was achieved with the help of allegorical and symbolic images. Through the visual image of Peter, the editorial offices of illustrated magazines and newspapers transmitted the narratives accepted in society, forming a sense of pride in the glorious past of the Russian Empire in their readers and while comparing it with the no less glorious present.

The Beasts and the Beastly: Colonial Discourse and the (Non-)human Animals of Pantisocracy

In 1794 Coleridge and Southey made a plan to set up a utopian community on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania; the proposed society was christened Pantisocracy. The project, however, did not materialize. The differences between Coleridge and Southey regarding the place of servants in Pantisocracy and an uncertainty over the role of women in the community have often been cited as the key issues that led to the failure of the project. However, a close attention to Coleridge and Southey’s writings on Pantisocracy reveals that a third reason for the abandonment was the anxiety of the two poets over the non-human animals and native humans of America. Considering critical theory’s interest in posthuman issues, the present paper revolves around the question of the non-human animals in Pantisocracy. It contends that the non-human animals are central to an understanding of the utopian scheme and aims to discuss the role of non-human animals in the construction of racial other and in the formation of colonial discourse. Further, it proffers the argument that the human-non-human entanglement that is witnessed in issues regarding Pantisocracy underscores the fact that human agency is an assemblage of the human and the nonhuman actors.

The Case of the Director of the Kamіanskе museum of revolution I. Gavrilov in the context of soviet memory policy in the 1930s

The aim of the article. On the basis of the archival investigative case of the director of the Dniprodzerzhynsk Museum of Revolution, I. I. Gavrilov, who was repressed in 1936, the formation of a memorial discourse about the revolutionary events of 1917 in the museums of revolution is investigated. Methods. In the course of the study, general scientific, historical and special methods are used. The first category is represented by historical, terminological, cognitive methods and axiological approach. Comparatively-historical, historical-typological, historical-systemic methods are used for historical methods. Special methods in the work are presented by methods of scientific critique of sources, textual and social psychology. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time the subject of historical research is the process of forming the historical memory of the October revolution of 1917 in the museum discourse of the 1930s. Main results. The archival and investigative case of the director of the Dniprodzerzhynsk Museum of the Revolution was put into scientific circulation, which made it possible to complete the picture of the repressions of the 1930s in Dnipropetrovsk region, to reveal the challenges facing museum workers during the terror. It is proved that in order to form historical memory of the revolutionary events of 1917, restrictions were imposed on the source base for the research and popularization of museums, records of oral history were strictly controlled, and expositions were checked. The basis of the Revolution Museums was the concept of the Great October and the Civil War, aimed at creating mythologized historical memory in order to legitimize Bolshevik power. It is established that with the onset of great terror, museums were faced with new challenges and prohibitions when the interpretation of events and the presentation of particular persons in the exposition required an urgent correction of museum work. On the example of the fate of the director of the Dniprodzerzhynsk Museum of Revolution, the formation of the ideological foundations of a totalitarian state is illuminated, when any deviation from the basic tenets was severely punished. The article is recommended for use in writing works on both the history of the repression of the 1930s and the history of museum work. Type of article: descriptive.

“No One is Illegal” As a Reverse Discourse Against Deportability

ABSTRACT After 2015, state authorities in many European countries actively stigmatised asylum-seekers and paperless, framing them as “illegal”. In Finland, this illegality discourse was countered by resistant non-citizen and citizen subjects at multiple levels. This article examines the ways in which the arguments presented in the “No one is illegal” campaign can be considered to constitute a reverse discourse in a Foucauldian sense, and how it operates in the context of deportability which maintains structural inequality and racialised hierarchies based on the logic of political exclusion/inclusion embedded in state-centric sovereignty. It demonstrates how the state's illegality discourse contributed to a strong advance of social controls but enabled the formation of a reverse discourse that helped promote non-citizens' legal and political demands. While operating within the legal–illegal binary under which non-citizens were “disqualified” by the state, simultaneously, the reverse discourse strategically challenged it by utilising shared humanity as a common category.

СУЧАСНИЙ АНГЛОМОВНИЙ ІНТЕРНЕТ-ДИСКУРС

The scientific article highlights the approaches to interpreting the notion of discourse. First, it considers the three most important approaches to defining this concept: formal, functional, and situational. Next, the article outlines constitutive, genre-stylistic, substantive, and formal-structural discourse categories. Finally, it analyses distinctive features of discourse, among which contextuality, personality, procedurality, theology, and the closed structure of discourse are distinguished, provided that textual information is available. Moreover, the article outlines the peculiarities of Internet discourse formation and highlights the approaches to its definition. Finally, it analyzes distinctive features of Internet discourse. It highlights its globality, the efficiency of information transfer, unlimited amount of information and possibility of its constant updating, accessibility, anonymity, visual decontextuality, interactivity, indirectness, emotionality, hypertextuality, hybridity, and equality, etc. The article proves that Internet discourse borrows the features of oral and written speech and acquires some distinctive features. In particular, Internet discourse is characterized by the lack of synchronous feedback, making it difficult to understand the perception of information by the recipient. In addition, this type of discourse is characterized by a relatively slow pace of Internet communication, complications or lack of communicative role change, lack of prosody and paralingual means, and the impossibility of live spontaneous speech as a reaction to what is heard. The article highlights the prospects for further research. It stresses the significance of studying the genre and stylistic features of Internet discourse and its structural and communicative-pragmatic features.

Effectiveness of Communicative Learning Technologies in the Formation of Intercultural Communication Discourse of Future Diplomat Specialists

The experience of using communicative technologies in the process of teaching intercultural communicative discourse to future diplomats is described. The authors present the results of the study of the development of communicative skills of future diplomats in the educational process. It is proved that in modern education communicative technologies are used as a means of forming communicative skills and as a means of intensifying the cognitive activity of students. One aspect of this relationship is the attitude in the learning process to the language as a means of communication, knowledge of the world around, as well as self- nalysis of the problem under study and the results of the experimental work, generalizing conclusions are fordevelopment of future diplomats as a person with their own interests, needs and abilities. Based on the theoretical amulated. The aim of the work is to justify and test the communicative technology, assuming an active role of future diplomats in the formation and development of intercultural communicative competence, necessary for the use of a foreign language in communication. The topicality of the given problem is conditioned by the process of development of international relations and by the fact that in this connection the specialists that have both a system of professional knowledge and the ability to communicate in a foreign language and on this basis successfully solve the diplomatic negotiations are needed.

Turning the Stereotype Against Itself: A VOC Clerk, “Hottentots”, and the Formation of Colonial Discourse

ABSTRACT Stereotyping has always permeated inter-ethnic understanding, conflating knowledge with prejudice. The seventeenth century European image of the Cape indigenous peoples was bound by a sustained ideological bias. The so-called “echo chamber of the discourse of the Cape” captured the Cape Khoi as primitive beasts in a negation of Christian values, and meant that knowledge about the Cape Khoi did not actually advance (Coetzee). In this paper I show that the Dutchman Jan Willem van Grevenbroek, VOC clerk at the Cape from 1684 to 1694, did in fact challenge the prevailing European image about the Khoi, then commonly called “Hottentots.” In a Latin letter, he positions himself against negative primitivism and interprets Khoi customs as authentically Christian. However, Grevenbroek thus risks being drawn into an oppositional discourse that limits the possibilities for renegotiating stereotypes (Hall; Matusitz). At the same time, he strategically demonstrates that the stereotype contains no inherent knowledge about the people and thus exploits one of the few possibilities to open ideological discourse up to renegotiation (Hall). Grevenbroek’s position challenges the very notion of there ever having been a single, colonial discourse (White), which makes Grevenbroek a valuable voice in Cape history, post-colonial discourse, and the history of knowledge in South Africa and beyond.

On the philosophical "dumbness" of ancient Russian literature

Aim to review the process of formation of Russian philosophical discourse. The author supports the position that there was no philosophical discourse in the literature of the ancient Russians, and the original Russian philosophy began to form only in the 18th century. The books of Ancient Russia are characterized by the absence of a direct connection with the ancient philosophical tradition. The ideas of Ancient authors came to Russia through Byzantium. However, the ancient Russian scribes perceived them as "Hellenic sophistry" and manifestations of paganism.
 The author comes to the conclusion that the Russian religious literature is specific for its essential orientation to the Greek religious literature of the IV-VI centuries. Russian philosophy historians can understand better the specifics of the Russian intellectual culture analyzing religious texts.

Reconstructing History: Postmemory and Ectopic Literature

This paper deals with the possible ways of understanding the relation between the reconstruction of history and literary fiction (postmemory and ectopic literature). The transmission of memory across generations – postmemory, and the composition of literary works out of the place of the origin – ectopic literature – facilitate the formation of historical discourse, which is inevitably accompanied by modern interpretation. As interpretation is understanding reality in a subjective manner, literary fiction takes its place in the reconstruction of historical events. And ectopic literature is one of the main narratives, which helps to understand the relation between facts and fantasy.

A Critical Discourse Analysis of Early Childhood Education and Care Policy in Korean Newspaper Editorials

This study investigated how newspaper editorials contribute implicitly to what people know and think about by recontextualizing the discourses of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) policy. Drawing from Fairclough s critical discourse analysis, we examined 311 editorials on ECEC policies of two mainstream Korean newspapers, Chosun Ilbo and Joongang Ilbo, published from 1991 to 2016. Findings are that the text of discourses changed to reflect shifts in ECEC policy. The textual elements emphasized or de-emphasized information or opinion about events or situations. By controlling the text contents, editorials participated in the (re)formation of discourses, and these discourses were recontextualized to express ideological positions that they support through the interface with social-cultural contexts. The recontextualized discourses can influence the socio-cultural context by building public awareness and bringing political reaction. This study suggests that language, including in newspaper editorials, should be analyzed as a social practice through the lens of discourse.

Formation of Ideological (Official and Religious) Discourses as Basis for Ryacudu’s Securitization of LGBT Acts in Indonesia 2016 – 2017

Despite its existence in various local traditions, LGBT acts in Indonesia has recently faced notorious condemnation and abuse. This paper explores minister Ryacudu’s discourse formation in removing LGBT issue from normal politics into security sector, and whether such action has been successful in convincing audience that LGBT is indeed a security issue. In doing so, this study utilizes securitization framework to unravel the rationalization of removing LGBT into security sector and how it relates to Indonesian identity discourse. This paper argues that securitization of LGBT acts in Indonesia is an enactment of national and religious identity. LGBT has been re-constructed as a threat to national identity, thus, a societal security threat. This securitization is conducted by Indonesian government, initially started by Minister Ryacudu’s call to reject LGBT, which is then widely echoed among citizens. Statement from Ryacudu is the main speech act, supported by, utilization of religious values and national heteronormative identity as reference values to legitimize extraordinary measures to the so-called ‘LGBT problem’. The ‘extraordinary measures’ taken to ‘protect’ Indonesia’s identity include various sectors from education, communication and media, and commerce. Wide acceptance among citizen suggests that Indonesian government, especially Minister Ryacudu have successfully securitized LGBT issue in Indonesia.

Digital transformation of a big city as an object of sociological analysis

The article presents a sociological analysis of the digital transformation phenomenon (the case of Minsk). The chronology of the stages of the formation of scientific discourse about this phenomenon (automation, digitisation, digitalisation and digital transformation) is described. Specific indicators of the sociological dimension of the digital transformation of the city based on empirical data are proposed (the ratio of digital and traditional methods of solving applied problems, the exit of digital technologies beyond their utilitarian use, motivation for the development of new technologies). Using the obtained indicators, a typology of digital types of citizens is constructed.
