Discourse and Power: An Introduction to Critical Narratology: Who Narrates Whom? introduces the concept of discourse in relation to power, offering a critical overview of key discourse theories, including those of Foucault, Bourdieu, Fairclough, and Greimas. In the first part, the book explores how language and power are linked in these theories. The second part applies these insights to real-world examples of discourses involved in power relations, such as political speeches (e.g., Obama, Trump, Biden) and literary works (e.g., Camus, Pirandello). By focusing on these practical analyses, the book shows how discourse can either reinforce or minimise power dynamics, leading to new understandings of social structures. An essential text for discourse and critical discourse analysis courses.
