Objetivos
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of the intersections between discourse, critique, power, and ideology. This course aims to familiarize students with the basic theoretical tenets and methodological procedures of the field of critical discourse analysis.
The course will help students to develop a critical sensitivity to issues of power, ideology, and inequality as produced and reproduced in discourse in a variety of socio-cultural contexts, and will enable them to understand the nature of the relation between language and ideology and the way this connects to social, cultural, and political power structures.
Students are expected to develop their ability to analyse different types of texts and discourses understood as a reflection, product and creation of discursive and social practices.
