The chapter starts with a summary of the main tenets of Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, and touches upon its methodological/analytical translation in discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA). The next main part of the chapter discusses how discourse theory has been put to use for the analysis of communication and media, distinguishing four thematic areas: (1) communication, rhetoric, and media strategies; (2) discourses in media organizations; (3) media identities, practices, and institutions; and (4) media and agonistic democracy. In the next part, two areas that are currently being developed in the group, and have thus far remained under-developed, are singled out theoretically as well as empirically, from a discourse-theoretical perspective. This includes the relation between the discursive and the material, and the relation between media, communication, and audiences. Finally, the chapter provides a short overview of the other chapters in this book. 2019-04-12 17:04:40 2020-04-01T10:32:43Z 2020-04-01T10:32:43Z 2019 chapter 1004823 OCN: 1100490656 9781789380545; 97817899380552 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/25271 eng application/pdf n/a Communication & Discourse Theory.pdf Intellect Communication and Discourse Theory dba70200-fc42-4588-b068-f9ec198260f0 54c8969f-b8c4-4efa-aa9d-8f1972ce967b 9781789380545; 97817899380552 36 Bristol open access
