300257 Discourse Analysis (MA: Soziologische Methoden - qualitativ) (S) (WiSe 2025/2026)
Contents, comment
-
In this course, we will explore Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) – an approach that examines how language (re)produces, normalizes, or challenges social power relations. We will engage with both the social-theoretical and methodological foundations of CDA, as well as with practical tools for conducting discourse analysis. At the heart of the course lies the question of how linguistic structures shape social reality. Students will work in groups to carry out their own small-scale discourse analyses, which we will discuss collectively in class. The aim is to develop a critical perspective on language as a social instrument of power – and to learn how to analyze it systematically.
