Full textSouth Africa transitioned from an apartheid system of government, with one ruling party to a new democracy; a transition that is still currently in progress. With this transition came many new freedoms, such as the ability to choose and freely express one’s linguistic and cultural preferences, amongst many others. This study analyses the negotiation of identity in constitutionally multilingual parliamentary discourses in the Western Cape in order to create a better understanding of the influence the new South Africa has on the identities constructed in parliamentary discourses whereby polylingualism is used as a linguistic resource. The parliamentary discourse is deemed constitutionally multilingual due to the fact that before 1994, African languages were not considered official, but presently Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa are credited provincial official languages in the Western Cape and are amongst the eleven national official languages. In order to investigate how performative identities are constructed discursively in the relatively new spaces of linguistic democracy, this study conducted a multisemiotic analysis on political manifestos in conjunction with a discourse analysis of a randomly selected Hansard Report of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament, which is the only parliament of the national nine to have an alternate political party in government. In collaboration with consulting the Standing Rules of the House, the National Language Policy Framework, the Western Cape Language Policy and observing the actual sitting, scholarly literature pertaining to language use, multisemiotic features and identity negotiation were evaluated to better understand the discursive spaces in which identity is negotiated as well as to achieve the objectives of this study.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: “Unofananidza Jesu naKombayi here? (Lit. Are you comparing Jesus with Kombayi?) (Condolences on the death of Senator Patrick Kombayi, 28th July 2009, Appendix B4, line 350) This Shona interjection during the debate on the motion on condolences on the death of Senator Patrick Kombayi (MDC- T) in the Zimbabwean parliament presents the speaker stance taking, appraising and strategically manoeuvering advancing certain argumentative positions. Considering the impact of the outcome of these debates on governance, discourse- analytic researches have to be carried out in order to explore the sorts of appraisal and argumentation principles that are realised. This study makes a multifaceted theoretical approach to a comprehensive exploration of debates and speeches in the Zimbabwean parliament and their representation in newspaper articles. The appraisal theory, the extended pragma- dialectic theory of argumentation and controversy analysis have been integrated to uncover important linguistic insights on parliamentary discourse and news reporting. The analysis is based on a corpus of debates and speeches in the Zimbabwean parliament within the period 2009 and 2010. Another corpus consists of newspaper reports on these debates and speeches in this period. A thematic approach informed by theoretical principles is utilised in the selection of reports, debates and speeches. Firstly, I examined parliamentary discourse. Focus have been on the critical discussion model, argumentative strategies- forms of strategic manoeuvering, how the dialectic- rhetoric relation can be understood, how appraisal resources are realised in the argumentation process and on examining how appraisal resources employed reflect the type of a debate or speech. Secondly, I explored newspaper articles from four Zimbabwean newspapers reporting on the same themes on debates and speeches. Focus has been to make comparative analysis of news reporting examining how appraisal resources are utilised in the representation of parliamentary discourse in different newspapers (independent versus government or state owned newspapers and English versus Shona newspapers) and to examine the nature of argumentation and strategic manoeuvering principles that are utilised in news reporting and how controversial (divergent) debates or issues are represented. This multifaceted analysis offered varied dimensions in the exploration of parliamentary discourse and news reporting and expansions of the appraisal and argumentation theories.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: “Unofananidza Jesu naKombayi here? (Letterlik: Vergelyk jy Jesus met Kombayi?) (Medelye ten tye van die dood van senator Patrick Kombayi, 28 Julie 2009, Bylaag B4, reël 350) Hierdie Shona-uitroep gedurende die debat oor die mosie van medelye ten tye van die dood van senator Patrick Kombayi (MDC-T) in die Zimbabwiese parlement wys hoe die spreker standpunt inneem, en sekere beredenerende posisies opper, beoordeel en op strategiese wyse manipuleer. Met die uitkomste van hierdie debatte oor bestuur in gedagte, moes diskoers-analitiese navorsing gedoen word om die soorte waardebepalende en beredenerende beginsels wat gerealiseer is, te verken. Hierdie studie het ʼn veelvlakkige teoretiese benadering tot ʼn omvattende verkenning van debatte en toesprake in die Zimbabwiese parlement en hulle uitbeelding in koerantartikels ingeneem. Die teorie van waardebepaling, die uitgebreide pragma-dialektiese teorie van beredenering- en geskilsanalise is geïntegreer om belangrike linguistiese insigte oor parlementêre diskoers en nuusrapportering bloot te lê. Die analise is gebaseer op ʼn korpus debatte en toesprake in die Zimbabwiese parlement uit die tydperk 2009 tot 2010. ʼn Verdere korpus bestaan uit koerantberigte oor hierdie debatte en toesprake uit hierdie tydperk. ʼn Tematiese benadering wat deur teoretiese beginsels geïnspireer is, is gebruik by die keuse van berigte, debatte en toesprake. Eerstens het ek parlementêre diskoers nagegaan. Die fokus was op die kritiese besprekingsmodel, beredenerende strategieë, vorme van strategiese manipulering, die wyse waarop die dialekties-retoriese verhouding verstaan kan word, die wyse waarop hulpbronne vir waardebepaling tydens die beredeneringsproses verwesenlik word en op ʼn ondersoek na hoe hulpbronne wat vir waardebepaling gebruik word, die soort debat of toespraak uitbeeld. Tweedens het ek koerantartikels uit vier Zimbabwiese koerante verken wat oor dieselfde temas oor debatte en toesprake verslag gedoen het. Die fokus was op die maak van ʼn vergelykende analise van beriggewing om na te gaan hoe hulpbronne vir waardebepaling gebruik word by die uitbeelding van parlementêre diskoers in verskillende koerante (onafhanklik teenoor koerante in besit van die regering of die staat en koerante in Engels teenoor ander in Shona) en om die aard van beredenering en strategiese manipulerings-beginsels wat by beriggewing gebruik word en die wyse waarop kontroversiële (uiteenlopende) debatte of kwessies uitgebeeld word, te ondersoek. Hierdie veelvlakkige analise het wisselende dimensies by die verkenning van parlementêre diskoers en beriggewing en uitbreidings van die waardebepaling- en beredeneringsteorieë gebied.

Full textFrame semantics and argumentation analysis are among the most popular research methodologies in discourse linguistics. Over the course of the last few years, semantic frames and argumentative topoi have been used in numerous studies to analyse the lexical and argumentative dimension of discourse. However, their simple addition contradicts one of the most basic premises of frame semantics, namely, the idea that frames are not only a tool of semantic analysis but also the universal format of conceptual representation structuring our know ledge of and our interactions with the world that surrounds us. Semantic frames, thus, potentially allow for a description of all knowledge structures underlying discourse at different levels of abstraction. By integrating the concept of argumentative relations in the established methodology of frame analysis, these different dimensions of discursive meaning construction become describable in frame semantic terms. These argumentative relations between discourse elements at the text surface can be seen as mirroring equivalent relations between the constituent elements of cognitive frames at the conceptual level. This approach will be used in the empirical section to analyse the parliamentary discourse on nuclear energy in the French Assemblée nationale and the German Bundestag from 1946 to 2012

Full textBased on a corpus of British, French, and German parliamentary debates, this research presents an integrated account of how third person expressions denoting human referents can encode the targets of an utterance – as opposed to the addressee. Third person forms include every linguistic item triggering third person agreement, regarded as a heterogeneous category: third person pronouns (he, she, one, they in English, il(s), elle(s), on in French, er, sie, man in German), interrogative and indefinite pronouns (whoever, qui, quiconque, wer), quantifiers (all, every, many, some, anyone, tous, chacun, beaucoup, certains, alle, jeder, viele, manche, etc.), relative clauses introduced by those (those who, ceux qui, diejenigen, die), and noun phrases containing a noun denoting a human agent (people, citizen, peuple, personnes, citoyen , Volk, Leute, Menschen, Bürger, etc.). I combine a trilingual contrastive research design with a qualitative discourse-analytic and a quantitative corpus- based perspective to determine how reference to the targets of an utterance, conceived as a speech role distinct from the empirical persons, can be achieved by third person expressions. With most existing research focusing on the first and second persons, third person reference has been considerably neglected. Yet, the conceptualisation of targets via third person expressions is explicit, pervasive, functional, and occurs with equal frequency throughout the political spectrum. By focusing on the newly refined speech role of the target, attention is given to the continuity between second and third grammatical persons as a system referring to addressees and targets of an utterance
In dieser Arbeit präsentiere ich eine umfassende Analyse der Funktionsweisen von englischen, französischen und deutschen Ausdrücken der dritten Person zur Bezeichnung menschlicher Referenten, an die eine Äußerung gerichtet ist. Zu den Formen der dritten Person gehören alle sprachlichen Elemente, die in Bezug auf die grammatischen Kategorien Person und Numerus mit Verben in der dritten Person verwendet werden: Personalpronomen (er, sie, man im Deutschen, he, she, they, one im Englischen, il(s), elle(s), im Französischen), Interrogativ- oder Indefinitpronomen (wer, whoever, qui, quiconque), Quantifikatoren (alle, jeder, viele, manche, all, every, many, some, anyone, tous, chacun, beaucoup, certains), Relativsätze (diejenigen, die, ceux qui, those who), und Nominalsyntagmen, die ein Substantiv enthalten, das einen menschlichen Referenten bezeichnet (Volk, Leute, Menschen, Bürger, people, citizen, peuple, personnes, citoyen, etc.). Anhand eines Korpus britischer, französischer und deutscher Parlamentsdebatten kombiniere ich ein sprachkontrastives Forschungsdesign mit einer qualitativen Diskursanalyse und einer quantitativen korpusbasierten Perspektive, um zu bestimmen, wie der Bezug auf die gemeinten Referenten erfolgt. Bisher hat sich die Forschung auf Formen der ersten und zweiten Person konzentriert und die dritte Person vernachlässigt, obwohl explizite, funktionale Bezüge auf den intendierten Referenten einer Äußerung in der dritten Person allgegenwärtig sind und im gesamten politischen Spektrum vorkommen

Full textCette thèse présente une analyse critique sur le développement des cadres politiques relatifs à la prévention du VIH/SIDA et à l'éducation sexuelle au niveau international et leurs impacts sur le discours national concernant l'éducation sexuelle au Japon.Dans le premier chapitre, l'auteur présente un récit autobiographique qui lui permet de se positionner en tant que femme japonaise ayant vécu à l'extérieur du Japon depuis plus de 20 ans, mère et fonctionnaire international depuis près de dix ans à l'UNESCO, une institution spécialisée des Nations Unies. Ce chapitre porte également sur la théorie et la méthodologie utilisées ; le travail repose sur le constructivisme social et l'analyse du discours.Le chapitre deux explique comment le discours sur le VIH/SIDA, la santé sexuelle et les jeunes est devenu une préoccupation mondiale au cours de ces années; des informations sont fournies sur les actions des Nations Unies sur le VIH/SIDA. Dans le chapitre trois, il est fait état du développement de l'éducation sexuelle à l'égard des jeunes depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, suivi d'un aperçu des politiques actuelles dans certains pays.Le chapitre quatre traite de l'histoire de la sexualité au Japon et des politiques d'éducation sexuelle élaborées au fil des ans. En présentant les approches de la sexualité au Japon et la position sociale des femmes japonaises à travers l'histoire, la recherche montre la manière dont le Japon, société sexuellement tolérante, a, avec le temps, en particulier pendant la période Meiji (1868-1912), inventé une tradition de la chasteté pour les femmes, impliquant une sexualité féminine régit par un contrôle étatique. Cette idéologie de genre et sexuelle construite sociopolitiquement a été renforcée à travers l'éducation scolaire. L'éducation de la chasteté axée sur la moralité a dominé pendant la période précédant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cependant, les politiques relatives à l'éducation sexuelle au Japon ont changé, lorsque le VIH/SIDA est devenu un sujet de préoccupation à l'échelle mondiale dans les années 1980. Le chapitre quatre se penche aussi sur le sort réservé à la brochure « Love and Body Book » distribuée en 2002 par le Ministère de la Santé, mais qui a été retirée suite aux violentes critiques des politiciens et médias conservateurs dont elle a été l'objet.Le chapitre cinq analyse le discours parlementaire sur l'éducation sexuelle au Japon entre 1945 et 2012. Il fait valoir que, tandis que les cadres politiques internationaux en matière de santé reproductive pour les femmes et d'égalité entre les sexes ont influencé la manière dont les parlementaires japonais ont débattu sur l'éducation sexuelle, ils n'ont jamais tenu compte des trois déclarations des Nations Unies sur le VIH/SIDA, qui comprenaient pourtant des recommandations concernant l'éducation sexuelle en milieu scolaire et l'autonomisation des jeunes. Les parlementaires japonais, en règle générale, se sont référés aux jeunes en termes d'innocence et de protection, en niant leur sexualité. L'analyse des débats parlementaires révèle que les sujets récurrents dans le domaine de l'éducation sexuelle sont les suivants : le contrôle et la normalisation sexuelle, la prévention des MTS, des droits de l'homme et de l'égalité entre les sexes. Mais des notions telles que l'autonomisation des jeunes gens, ou le plaisir sexuel sont les grands absents de ces débats.Dans le dernier chapitre, l'auteur souligne que la reconnaissance de la sexualité des jeunes et l'accès pour ces derniers à des informations pertinentes sur la sexualité et la santé sexuelle à un âge précoce sont des points de départ importants pour le développement constructif de l'éducation sexuelle. L'auteur préconise en outre l'importance de l'élaboration de politiques fondées sur des données factuelles et la transparence, ainsi que la pertinence des plateformes de normalisation élaborées par les Nations Unies et ses institutions.

Full textThe subject of this study is a semantic, pragmatic and discursive analysis of irony in Portuguese parliamentary debate. We study in particular the implicitation degrees of ironic criticism, the signals, the functions and the discursive strategies of irony. Our interdisciplinary theoretical approach covers the multiple forms that irony takes in our corpus, and includes operating concepts deriving from : the speech act theory (Austin 1962 and Searle 1969 and 1979) ; Grice´s conversational maxims (1975) ; the antiphrastic irony´s point of view (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 1980) ; the linguistic theory of polyphony (Ducrot 1984) ; the verbal politeness theory (Brown & Levinson 1987 and Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2005 and 2010) and studies on argumentation (Amossy 2000). The first part of this work focuses on the characteristics of the Portuguese parliamentary discourse and on the critical analysis of different studies on irony. In the second part, we study the different forms of irony in our corpus and identify the most common signals of irony. In the third part, we focus on the main discursive functions and strategies that underlie the use of irony in the discursive genre being analysed. This approach has allowed us to conceive irony as an axiological linguistic-discursive mechanism that aims to depreciate someone, while supporting argumentation and persuasion

This dissertation deals with the retextualization of parliamentary debates and intends to map changes introduced by retextualizers during the transformation of parliamentary oral speeches into written texts, as well as to analyze these changes in order to understand their implications for the meaning of the text. The research is relevant because parliamentary debates contribute to the validation of Executive and Legislative acts. Translated from oral into written language, these speeches make up the annals of legislative chambers, and so become essential historic records, and can be ordered by the Courts as evidence in legal proceedings. The retextualization of these speeches, having in mind the importance of what is said in plenary sessions, should excel in their fidelity to the speaker s words and respect for his style. However, these two requirements are not always met because there are changes in the retextualization process that distance the source text (speech) from the secondary text (written). This research is based primarily on studies located in the field of Textual Linguistics and Conversation Analysis and its corpus consists of extracts from five Guarulhos City Chamber (São Paulo State) ordinary sessions that took place between 2001 and 2007. The results indicate that deletions, insertions and substitutions are the main changes made by retextualizers and that those affect the style, the speakers words and the meaning of the text
Esta dissertação trata da retextualização de discursos parlamentares e tem como objetivo o levantamento de alterações promovidas por retextualizadores na passagem de discursos parlamentares orais para a modalidade escrita, como também a análise dessas alterações com vistas às suas implicações para o sentido do texto. Justifica-se pelo fato de que os discursos parlamentares contribuem para a validação de atos dos Poderes Executivo e Legislativo. Transpostos da modalidade oral para a escrita, esses discursos compõem os anais das casas legislativas, constituindo-se em registros essenciais para a história, além de poderem ser requisitados pela Justiça para instrução de peças judiciais. A retextualização desses discursos, tendo em vista a importância do que é dito no plenário, deveria primar pela fidelidade ao dito pelo orador e pelo respeito ao seu estilo. Observa-se, porém, que esses dois itens nem sempre são atendidos, pois, no processo de retextualização, ocorrem mudanças que afastam o texto derivado (escrito) do texto fonte (oral). A investigação fundamenta-se primordialmente em estudos situados no campo da Lingüística Textual e da Análise da Conversação e tem como corpus cinco trechos de atas de sessões ordinárias da Câmara Municipal de Guarulhos, Estado de São Paulo, realizadas no período de 2001 a 2007. Os resultados indicam que eliminações, inserções e substituições são as principais alterações realizadas pelos retextualizadores que afetam o estilo, o dito do orador e o sentido do texto

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the comparative analysis of Portuguese, Brazilian and Romanian parliamentary debates, from the point of view of interactional organization and address terms uses (Carreira 1997). Our theoretical framework is interactional linguistics (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 1990), political discourse analysis (Charaudeau 2005) and parliamentary discourse analysis (Ilie 2006; Marques 2000). After a legal and political preamble that presents how parliaments in the three selected countries (Portugal, Brazil, Romania) work, we analyse, in the first part of the thesis, the official transcripts of parliamentary sittings as a corpus for linguistic studies. Then we focus on the characteristics of the sequential structure of the debates – opening, body, closing –, negotiation of turn taking and evasion strategies in answering questions. The second part of the thesis focuses on the uses of address terms in constructing images of the self and of the others and the configuration of interlocutive distance. This approach has allowed us to identify a few characteristics of each sub-corpus: Portuguese debates are closer to the parliamentary protocol (the micro-sequential structure is more rigid, nominal institutional address forms are used almost exclusively), while in Brazilian and Romanian debates there is more flexibility both in the micro-sequential construction (ritual acts are more frequent) and in the wider range of address forms used (relational, academic, professional, generic)

Discourse markers, linguistic expressions, can be observed in spontaneous speech. Speakers use discourse markers as cohesive devices for giving fluent speech. Other than maintaining cohesion (Schiffrin, 1987), discourse markers enable speakers to figure out how to express ideas that fit the speakers’ intention in communicative interaction. With regard to the desire to avoid conflicts and the wish to maintain social relationship, the pragmatic functions deserve more attention in the field. Studies of discourse markers within pragmatics grow rapidly. Discourse markers that function on the interpersonal level are emphasized. A pragmatic approach is taken to shed light on how people interpret particular utterance and how the marker operates in actual usage to maintain social relationships. Researchers have carried out research studies to explore the discourse-pragmatic functions of discourse markers in casual conversation, adolescent talk, peer interaction and TV/radio interview. However, little attention has been paid to pragmatic functions of a particular individual marker within a specific context regarding power differential in previous studies. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to delve into pragmatic functions of Chinese discourse marker hǎo in parliamentary discourse. Drawing on the analytic framework of politeness, how discourse marker hǎo operates in the context in relation to power differential was further interpreted. The data included 1011 tokens of hǎo in total collected from parliamentary discourses, which consists of exchanges by parliamentarians and government officials and have been orthographically transcribed. The discourses were selected from the official documentary records, which are the unsolicited transcription archives, of a session which was held from March 27 to June 4 in 2014. The results show that the discourse marker hǎo in parliamentary discourse signaled fourteen pragmatic functions, including to agree, to express understanding, to express an opinion, to bring up an issue, to elaborate, to request, to attract attention, backchannels, to hold the floor, to query, to express disagreement, to vie for a turn, to make a promise, and to complete negotiation. Moreover, in terms of the perspectives of politeness maxims as well as politeness strategies, based on the dichotomy of participants, parliamentarians and government officials, the present data showed that speakers in parliamentary interaction used tact, agreement and approbation maxims (Leech, 1983) while negotiating issues. Other than politeness maxims, the parliamentarians enacted both positive and negative face saving acts (Brown & Levinson, 1987) to meet the fact want and to mitigate threats to the negative face of others, while the government officials adopted only positive politeness strategy in the communication.

Full textThe present PhD thesis covers the study of political ethos management through a rhetoricalpragmatic analysis of discredit and persuasion strategies in the parliamentary debate on the state of the Nation, in a theoretical perspective of argumentation in discourse (Amossy, [2000]), integrated into the Discourse Analysis. In the first chapter, we focus on the functioning of the discourse figures identified in the counter-discourse and on their refutal. We also bring attention to the pragmatic value of the discourse figures in winning the audience's support to a devaluing image of the opponent, thus highlighting their contribution to the management of the speakers' ethos. The identification and the analysis of the types of arguments used by the speakers carried out in the second chapter, allow us to categorize the various argumentative configurations used in the parliamentary political discourse in the genre under study. In the third chapter, we not only study the rhetorical-discursive procedures adopted in the counter-discourse and their refutation, that is, in their controversial dimension, but we also seek to observe which strategies are mobilized by politicians to preserve and save their face, as well as to carry out the construction or affirmation of an identity policy. Through the type of the argument, as well as the mobilized rhetorical procedures and the way agonal interaction is processed, we reconstruct the speakers’ types of (individual and collective) discursive ethè and we attempt to demonstrate that the ethos politicians want to project (Charaudeau, [ 2005]) is contrary to the devaluing image they build of the opponent. We conclude by stating that the construction and management of the political ethosis shaped as a form of political legitimation that not only reveals ideological conflicts but, above all, discloses positioning strategies.

Full textThis investigation intends to study the post-colonial relations in the Portuguese parliamentary discourse (1976-1980) through the plenary sessions. We considered the democratic and constitutional nature of the elected Parliament, its political and legislative competence and popular representation to understand the relationship with other entities. We conceive this political discourse as a product of the political parties’ dialogue, confronting its similarities and differences. The post-colonialism is assumed in this work in its historical sense. With regards to the identity significance of this term, we questioned the disruptions and continuities in parliamentary discourse as the loss of the Empire, the decolonization’s effects and the configuration of national identity. The characterization of the post-colonial relations depends on this post-revolutionary period, on the nature of the semi-presidential regimen, the relationship’s dynamics between Sovereignty institutions, the singularity of this first democratic parliament and on the parliamentary labour contingencies. The vocation and orientation of the Portuguese foreign policy also weights in our investigation. Between the Europeanism propulsive of the Community integration and the universalist and ecumenic notion which privilege the relations with the ancient colonial area, the Assembly of the Republic seeks for a new international position for the Portuguese Democracy. Particularly in respect to the ancient Empire, we consider the building ties with the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP) among fraternal designs and cooperation between States, while questioning the political protest and colonial litigation affairs. We measure the position of the chamber on this purpose, underlining the difficulties associated to the attempts to normalize the diplomatic relations with the ancient Ultramar. On the decolonization theme, we examine the impact of the Retorno by considering the political statements on this issue and analysing the evaluation of its effects. Discussing the problems of integration in the European territory, we aim to observe the parliamentarian’s commitment with the proposals to host the migration flows in this new European Democracy. Realising the different political lines of approach of post-colonial relations in the house of Democracy, we seek to balance the conflicts and alignments exposed in the Assembly of the Republic. Some homogenic patterns may reflect a post-colonial consensus on the dialogue of Portuguese national identity with the recent past. The conclusions suggest some clues for future investigations.

Full textIn Portugal, change in education policies is a controversial issue. On the one hand, there are those who criticize systematic change; on the other, those who consider that education has changed little, calling for transformation. But what can research focused on policy change tell us? Using discourse analysis of 30 years of debates in the Portuguese parliament, this research centres on changes that have occurred during this time, targeting one of its central aspects: the trajectory of political ideas on equal opportunities. To this end, it explores sources of legitimacy and resources of authority used by parties, such as scientific knowledge or the recommendations of national and international organizations (OECD and EU), investigating their impact on policy changes. With a parallel focus on the process of decision-making, it also subjects the measures implemented since 1986 to meta-analysis and, by the study of legislation, statistics and reports, reconstructs the dynamics of decision-making and political action, identifying and interpreting links and relationships between discourses and practices. The investigation reveals a picture that combines, in different ways, continuity and change in discourse with permanency and transformation in policies, from which gradual but significant changes to the concept of ‘equality of opportunities’ emerges. While the ideas of ‘failure’, ‘rupture’ and ‘change’ are mobilized to convey an impression of change on party proposals, analysis to policies adopted throughout different political cycles reveal a different truth: less abrupt processes of testing, whose adjustments have led to the overall improvement of results, both in school access to school and in improving the quality of school processes leading to educational success.

Full textMany African countries have been holding regular elections since the “Third Wave” of democratisation which reintroduced multi-party politics on the African continent, but few of these elections meet the democratic litmus test, due to, among other factors, the prevalence of election violence. The press has been justifiably or unjustifiably indicted for these imbroglios on account of alleged transgressions linked to its overt or covert incitement to violence. In the ensuing political contestations, citizens bear the burden of diminished prospects of credible information occasioned by a highly politicised press. In the Southern African region, there is no better case to illustrate the entanglement of the press in electoral contestations than Zimbabwe. This study is a qualitative exploration of press and citizen discourses on election violence during the presidential and parliamentary elections held in Zimbabwe between 2000 and 2013. A Foucauldian discursive analytic approach was used to analyse the representation of election violence in two-state-owned and four privately-owned newspapers during presidential and parliamentary elections held over the specified period spanning thirteen years. The study also examined how these press discourses interrelate with citizen discourses. Empirical data were drawn from a corpus of archival textual data comprising hard news and feature articles published in The Herald, The Sunday Mail, The Zimbabwe Independent, The Financial Gazette, Newsday and the Daily News. In-depth interviews were conducted with purposively targeted journalists and editors from the selected newspapers. In addition, in-depth-interviews were held with twenty-one (21) regular newspaper readers who were also politically engaged citizens. The main observation was that press representation of election violence was marked by antagonistic discursive practices reflective of the rivulets of political and ideological bifurcation. Consequently, competing and politically expedient journalistic philosophies emerged. The state-owned press used a model of ‘national interest’ journalism while the privately-owned press preferred the ‘human-rights’ model which crystallized into an over-arching ‘activist journalism’. This ‘activist’ journalistic approach found expression through an array of anti-democratic press discursive practices epitomised by selectivity, silence and salience, the consequence of which was that citizens were starved of credible and impartial information. This thesis argues that the anti-democratic discursive practices deployed by the press camps blunted the citizenry’s critical engagement with the exact motivations, causes and manifestations of election violence. These anti-democratic discursive practices have a potential to engender a culture of political intolerance with long-term consequences that predispose society to political conflict rather than consensus building.
