Yang, Fan. "A Discourse on discours : Habermas, Foucault and the Political/Legal Discourses in China." Thesis, Cachan, Ecole normale supérieure, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015DENS0016/document.
Full textThe adaptability issues of Western democracy in the context of China have always been an important academic concern. This research was intended to study the adaptability of deliberative democracy in the Chinese context in terms of a normative perspective. At the beginning, this research focused on Habermas‘s Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy, because it is one of the most discussed normative deliberative democratic theories in China today. Taking into consideration the normativity and ideality of Habermas‘s theory, Foucault‘s discourse theory of power relations is then introduced to illustrate the tensions between different Western discourse theories. In order to investigate the adaptabilities of these two discourse theories in the Chinese context, and to balance the tension between them, another normative concept, namely the Confucian Rationality, is then drawn upon from traditional Chinese cultural sources. Accordingly, these three dimensions of discourse theory, as well as the relations between them, are presented. The employment of some empirical descriptions of certain Chinese historical-political facts is also necessary to explain, to supplement, or to question this theoretic framework. Two tension perspectives are critical throughout the research: the tension between universality and particularity, and the tension between normative theories and social-political facts.Through the approaches of textual studies, aided by conceptual and empirical studies as complements, the research is conducted as following: Chapter 1 discusses the tension between Habermas‘s normative discourse theory of law and democracy and social facts; Chapter 2 analyzes the tension between Habermas‘s discourse theory and Foucault‘s discourse theory of power relations, and proposes to rethink the tension problems. Chapter 3 tries to search for the resources in traditional Chinese political cultures, and to put forward another normative discourse theory- the discourse theory of Confucian rationality- to balance the tension between the foregoing two normative discourse theories. It is argued that an ideal type of Confucian rationality (a kind of normative value rationality) can be used as a bridge between the two opposite discourse theories. Chapter 4 further explains the normative theory that was proposed in Chapter 3, and tries to reexamine and redefine the concepts of ―Public Sphere‖ and ―Deliberative Politics in the context of traditional China through empirical descriptions on the ―Public Sphere‖ and political/legal discussions in traditional Chinese society. Finally,Chapter 5 focuses on the descriptions of the political and legal discussions in China's new media public sphere today. It is an empirical response to all the normative studies mentioned above, and at the same time an investigation on the tensions between the normative theories and the social experiences. We argue that, because of the different cognitive structures and diverse modes of thinking in specific cultures, there should be different normative paradigms of discourse democracy in corresponding cultural contexts. Normativity and reality are the two sides of the same coin. Normative discourse theories serve as the guidance for the practices of deliberative democracy, which can, in its turn, verify, supplement, improve and challenge the normative discourse theories. Apart from demonstrating of the multiple dimensions of discourse theories, another practical intent of this thesis is to promote an approach leading to discourse democracy that would combine elements of both Chinese and modern, consistent with both the fundamental predilections of Chinese civilization, and the practical needs of a modern China

Full textEste trabalho propõe contribuir para a compreensão da cena política brasileira contemporânea e, para tanto, articula Análise da Narrativa de viés sócio-interacional com discurso político visando oferecer uma visão do lingüista sobre o fenômeno da popularidade do presidente Lula. O corpus da análise são narrativas pessoais encaixadas em seis discursos pronunciados pelo presidente entre abril de 2006 e março de 2007. Baseada de modo flexível no modelo de narrativa laboviano e na noção de história de vida de Linde, e recorrendo ainda às noções de enquadre, conforme Bateson e Goffman, e de alinhamento, de Goffman, a análise dos dados identifica as várias identidades que o presidente Lula constrói naquelas narrativas: de migrante nordestino, de operário, de líder sindical, de pai, de presidente. Ao mostrar como essas identidades são narrativamente construídas, a análise ressalta as qualidades de caráter e nuances de sentido projetadas e indica, em relação aos variados públicos dos discursos do presidente, como esses sentidos e identidades podem promover a obtenção de alinhamentos e funcionar como pré-condição para o atingimento do objetivo básico de persuasão que define o discurso político.
This work is intended as a contribution to the understanding of the contemporary Brazilian political scene: it integrates Socio-interactional Narrative Analysis with political discourse aiming to offer a linguist`s perspective on president Lula`s continued popularity. Personal stories embedded in six speeches delivered by the president between April 2006 and March 2007 form the corpus of this analysis. Freely based on Labov`s narrative model and on Linde´s notion of life story, and also resorting to the notion of frame as per Bateson and Goffman, and to Goffman`s footing, the analysis identifies several self- presentations constructed and displayed by president Lula through those personal stories: Northeastern migrant, blue collar worker, union leader, father and president. By showing how these identities are narratively constructed, the analysis emphasizes projected character traits and singularities of meaning and indicates, in relation to the different audiences of the president´s speeches, how these meanings and identities can obtain alignments and function as a pre-condition for achieving persuasion, the basic objective of political discourse in general.

The "Phenomenon of Juazeiro" has fascinated the academic world as Braga (2008) in anthropology, Araujo (2007) in economics, and della Cava (1970) in history attest. Nevertheless, research from a linguistic and discourse perspective has lagged far behind. To tap this gap, the present work looks at Padre Cícero's epistolary political discourse on the fight for Juazeiro's independence from Crato, by drawing on concepts and categories from systemic-functional grammar (SFG) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) with a view to analyzing power relations among the social actors involved in the fight. From SFG, I utilized the systems of transitivity, speech function, mood, and modality for the descriptive and interpretative stages of analysis; from CDA, I borrowed the concepts of ideology (Fairclough, 1989, 2003) and hegemony (Gramsci, 1971, Fairclough, 2003, Laclau & Mouffe, 1985). Five research questions were posed: The first looks at how Padre Cícero represents himself and the other political actors of the social practice of fighting for Juazeiro's independence. The second asks how he construes, for himself and for the other social actors, their social roles. The third and the fourth questions inquire how the concepts of ideology and hegemony assist in the explanatory analytical stage. The last one looks at the kinds of power relations originated from the previous analyses. To answer the research questions, I analyzed four letters written by Padre Cícero in 1910 and published in O Rebate, with my access to them having been through Guimarães and Dumoulin (1983). The first two ones were addressed to the Governor of Ceará Col. Nogueira Accioly (L1 & L2), and the latter two, to the Mayor of Crato Col. Antônio Luís (L3 & L4). The letters were broken down into clauses, which were analyzed in relation to the categories of transitivity, speech function, mood, and modality. The transitivity results showed that two macro-figures emerged from the data, the first being of Padre Cícero as a powerful political actor as realized by his taking up prominent transitivity roles such as Actor in material processes, for instance, and the second being of him as a conciliatory political player as realized by, for example, his use of relational processes for the purpose of representing his relationship with Col. Antônio Luís as friendly. These macro-figures were reinforced by the results generated from the speech function, mood, and modality analyses. Padre Cícero construes his social role as a powerful politician by engendering his political world as a place of little space for uncertainty by using little modality. Parallel to this, his image of a conciliatory political player emerges as he struggles to reinforce his friendship with the Mayor of Crato and to show a disposition to help with the independence project on many occasions. Additionally, he construes Col. Antônio Luís's social role as equally powerful as the transitivity analysis of L3 and L4 shows. As for Col. Nogueira Accioly and Juazeiro and/or its people, Padre Cícero maintains the same passive pattern that characterized them throughout the analyses. The data were then analyzed for the concepts of ideology and hegemony, giving rise to three hegemonic lines and to three power relations. Next, the limitations of the present study were discussed, which were followed by suggestions for future research. Finally, two pedagogical implications were discussed, and the presentation of a sketchy model for analyzing political discourse proper was put forward
O "Fenômeno de Juazeiro" tem fascinado o mundo acadêmico,como atestam Braga (2008) na antropologia, Araujo (2007) naeconomia e della Cava (1970) na história. Entretanto, a pesquisado ponto de vista linguístico e discursivo não acompanhou asoutras áreas. Para explorar essa lacuna, o presente trabalhoanalisa o discurso político epistolar de Padre Cícero produzido durante a luta de Juazeiro por sua independência em relação a Crato. Vale-se de conceitos e categorias da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional (GSF) e da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), com vista a analisar as relações de poder entre os atores sociais envolvidos na luta. Da GSF, utilizei os sistemas de transitividade, função discursiva, modo e modalidade nas fases descritiva e interpretativa da análise; da ACD, apropriei-me dos conceitos de ideologia (Fairclough, 1989, 2003) e de hegemonia (Gramsci, 1971, Fairclough , 2003, Laclau & Mouffe, 1985). Cinco perguntas de pesquisa foram feitas. A primeira interroga sobre como Padre Cícero representa a si mesmo e aos outros atores sociais da prática social de lutar pela independência de Juazeiro. A segunda indaga como ele constrói, para si e para os outros atores, seus papéis sociais. A terceira e quarta inquirem como os conceitos de ideologia e de hegemonia ajudam na fase explicativa da análise. A última questão aborda os tipos de relações de poder que emergiram das análises anteriores. Para responder as perguntas, analisei quatro cartas, coletadas em Guimarães e Dumoulin (1983), escritas por Padre Cícero em 1910 e publicadas em O Rebate. As duas primeiras foram endereçadas ao Governador do Ceará, Cel. Nogueira Accioly (L1 e L2); e as outras duas, ao Prefeito de Crato, Cel. Antônio Luís (L3 e L4). As cartas foram segmentadas em orações, que foram analisadas em relação às categorias de transitividade, função discursiva, modo e modalidade. Os resultados de transitividade mostraram que duas macro-figuras surgiram a partir dos dados. A primeira é a do Padre Cícero como um ator político poderoso, evidenciada por papéis relevantes de transitividade, tais como Ator em processos materiais, por exemplo. A segunda mostra-o como um político conciliador, o que é percebido, por exemplo, no uso que ele faz de processos relacionais com a finalidade de forjar uma relação amigável com o Cel. Antônio Luís. Essas macrofiguras foram reforçadas pelos resultados oriundos da análise da função discursiva, do modo e da modalidade. Padre Cícero, ao usar pouca modalidade, interpreta seu papel social como um político poderoso, construindo seu mundo político como um lugar com pouco espaço para incertezas. Paralelamente a isso, sua imagem de político conciliador emerge quando ele se empenha para reforçar sua amizade com o Prefeito do Crato e mostrar disposição, em muitas ocasiões, para ajudar com o projeto de independência. Além disso, ele representa o Cel. Antônio Luís como igualmente podero, tal como evidenciado pela análise de transitividade de L3 e L4. Quanto ao Cel. Nogueira Accioly e a Juazeiro e/ou ao seu povo, Padre Cícero mantém o mesmo padrão passivo que os caracterizou ao longo das análises. Esses resultados foram confrontados com os conceitos de ideologia e hegemonia. Como resultado, o confronto mostrou a existência de três linhas hegemônicas e três relações de poder. Em seguida, as limitações do presente estudo foram analisadas e foram dadas sugestões para futuras pesquisas. Finalmente, duas implicações pedagógicas foram discutidas e um modelo esquemático para a análise do discurso político propriamente dito foi apresentado

Full textAbstract
This paper aims to determine the validity of the hypothesis that the effective and eloquent use of language can result in shaping beliefs and altering people’s perception of certain phenomena. In order to explore this hypothesis, a speech given by George W. Bush concerning the Iraq war is examined, followed by a brief study of two corpora, the Time Magazine Corpus and the Corpus of Contemporary American English, where the collocationpatterns of the words Iraq, evil and terror are examined. The paper starts by presenting the main concepts upon which this study is based, i.e. mental frames, the co-operative principle and conversational maxims and finally, various rhetoric devices. An analysis section follows, where George Bush’s speech is examined with the help of the concepts mentioned above and the analysis continues with the corpora-study. One of the conclusions drawn in this study is that, indeed, it is possible that language can be successfully used in order to achieve political means, and that there seems to be a shift in the American public’s perception of concepts such as Iraq and terror, visible in the use of language. However, it cannot be said with certainty whether the Bush Administration has managed to dominate public discourse, through a study as minor as this one.
