Opis: Discourse and Transformation in Central and Eastern Europe - A Galasinska

This interdisciplinary volume explores the discursive construction of post-1989 social change in Central and Eastern Europe. Encompassing a set of national case studies on countries such as Czech Republic, former East-Germany, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia or other Balkan states, the volume explores processes of post-communist transformation from the point of view of accelerating and unique dynamics of linguistic and discursive practices. Highlighting the micro-macro link, those practices are examined within -- as well as at the cross-section of -- the public domain (in politics, media, religion or civil society) and the private sphere (within individual experiences of post-communism). Providing in-depth, systematic analysis of discourse in different situations, contributions to the volume analyse diverse forms of social, political, cultural, economic or institutional transformation in post-communist contexts. The analysis points to several differences and similarities between ways in which discourse influences the unprecedented social change across Central and Eastern Europe.Tables and Figures Notes on Contributors Introduction: Discourses of Social and Political Transformation in the 'New Europe'; M.KrzyA anowski & A.GalasiA ska Theorising and Analysing Social Change in Central and Eastern Europe: The Contribution of (Critical) Discourse Analysis; M.KrzyA anowski& R.Wodak PART I: TRANSFORMATION(S) OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE (I) -- DISCOURSES OF MEDIA AND PUBLIC POLICY Reflecting Social Heteroglossia and Accommodating Diverse Audiences: A Challenge to the Media; B.Busch Contesting Social Space through Language Education Debates in Latvia's Media Landscape; G.Hogan-Brun The (Re)Construction of Refugees in Slovenian Media; I.A .A agar PART II: TRANSFORMATION(S) OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE (II) -- DISCOURSES OF POLITICS, INSTITUTIONS AND ECONOMY On the 'Europeanisation' of Identity Constructions in Polish Political Discourse after 1989; M.KrzyA anowski Governing Abandoned Children: The Discursive Construction of Space in the Case of 'Babybox'; I.Nosal Critical Juncture: Church Slavonic and the Discourse of Cultural Preservation in Post-Soviet Russia; B.P.Bennett Narrating Transition in East German Company Histories; H.Kelly-Holmes PART III: TRANSFORMATION(S) OF THE SEMI-PUBLIC/SEMI-PRIVATE AND PRIVATE SPHERES - DISCOURSE AND THE EXPERIENCE OF TRANSFORMATION 'Mea culpa': The Social Production of Public Disclosure and Reconciliation with the Past; C.Tileaga Small Stories Fight Back: Narratives of Polish Economic Migration on an Internet Forum; A.GalasiA ska Narratives of Disenfranchised Self in the Polish Post-Communist Reality; D.GalasiA ski Notes References Index
