Discourse and Culture

Více o knize

Focusing on the interplay of ideology and cultural formation, the book examines six prominent American historical figures as reflections of societal conflicts between subordinate and dominant forces. It utilizes the Foucauldian framework to reinterpret American culture and ideology, questioning whether cultural change can be understood through discourse. By integrating theories from Althusser, Gramsci, and Hayden, it engages with contemporary debates on cultural history, offering a critical analysis of how language and history shape societal values.
