Abstract:
This paper explores how processes of remembering past events contribute to the construction of highly racialised local and national politics of belonging in the UK. Ethnographic research and contextualised discourse analysis are used to examine two colonial anniversaries remembered in 2006: the 1606 departure of English ‘settlers’ who built the first permanent English colony in North America at Jamestown, Virginia, and the 1806 opening of the East India Docks, half a century after the East India Company took control of Bengal following the battle of Polashi. Both events were associated with the Thames waterfront location of Blackwall in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets, an area with the highest Bengali population in Britain and significant links with North America through banks and businesses based at the regenerated Canary Wharf office complex. It investigates how discourses and events associated with these two specific anniversaries and with the recent ‘regeneration’ of Blackwall, contribute to the consolidation of the dominant ‘mercantile discourse’ about the British Empire, Britishness and belonging. Challenges to the dominant discourse of the ‘celebration’ of colonial settlement in North America by competing discourses of North American Indian and African American groups are contrasted with the lack of contest to discourses that ‘celebrate’ Empire stories in contemporary Britain. The paper argues that the ‘mercantile discourse’ in Britain works to construct a sense of mutual white belonging that links white Englishness with white Americaness through emphasising links between Blackwall and Jamestown and associating the values of ‘freedom and democracy’ with colonialism. At the same time British Bengali belonging is marginalised as links between Blackwall and Bengal and the violence and oppression of British colonialism are silenced. The paper concludes with an analysis of the contemporary mobilisation of the ‘mercantile discourse’ in influential social policy and ‘regeneration’ discourse about ‘The East End’.

Abstract:
AbstractDiscourse markers (like, I don't know, etc.) are known to vary in frequency across English dialects and speech settings. It is difficult to make meaningful generalizations over these differences, since quantitative discourse-pragmatic variation studies ‘lack [a] coherent set of methodological principles’ (Pichler 2010:582). This has often constrained quantitative studies to focus on the form, rather than the function of discourse-pragmatic features. The current article employs a novel method for rigorously identifying and quantifying the referential function (set-extension) of general extenders (GEs), for example, and stuff like that, or whatever. We apply this method to GEs extracted from three corpora of contemporary North American English speech. The results demonstrate that, across varieties, (i) referential GEs occur at a comparable proportional rate in vernacular speech, and (ii) referential GEs are longer than nonreferential GEs. Collectively, these findings represent a step towards comparative quantitative studies of GEs' functions in discourse.

Abstract:
The Deconstruction of Modern Europe by Hugo Chávez:In recent years many countries in Latin America have undergone profound economic and political transformations, which among many other things have implied a »turn to the left«, a break with neoliberalism, and the upsurge of political viewpoints and discourses that are critical of North American influence in the area. But how is Europe represented in these anti-American discourses? This article is an investigation of Hugo Chávez’ discourse about Europe and European culture and politics. Taking its point of departure in the analysis of how Europe is portrayed in a political campaign which sought popular support for constitutional changes that would pave the way for indefinite re-election of the President, the article argues that Chávez seeks to demolish the image of a democratic and progressive Europe. Chávez’ discourse about Europe emphasizes internal, social problems and poverty in Europe, and he points at double standards of morality and the lack of capacity to solve Europe’s own problems. This means that he attempts to deconstruct the idea of Europe as a privileged centre of modernity, development and democracy. However, his discourse contributes simultaneously to the reproduction of binary distinctions between the »evil North« and the »wounded South«. Despite some important differences, Chávez’ portrayal of Europe therefore bears a resemblance to the negative ideas of the West that are often expressed in occidentalist discourses.

Abstract:
Using a postcolonial analytic frame and critique this article investigates the nature of the discourse used by 24 North American business leaders to describe, understand and make sense of the economic development of China and India and contemporary international encounters. In particular the article investigates how business leaders discursively characterize this ‘threat’, how they (re)present China and India and, how they discursively construct the requirements of a response to this ‘threat’. An analysis of the interviews indicates the persistence of the discourse of (neo)colonialism (Orientalism) in the construction of the Other within the context of a view of China and India as developing and progressing towards a North American ideal. Despite this, North American business leaders also show ambivalence and uncertainty towards China and India. On the one hand they laud their success while damning them for their apparently exploitative social, economic and workplace systems and practices. Moreover, while they promote a Western development discourse concerning China and India, North American business leaders recognize that China and India are becoming centres of global economic power that are increasingly challenging the global hegemony of the United States. The article ends with a conclusion on the contribution of the article and in particular points to the value of Bhabha’s notion of the in-between’ spaces as a way forward for understanding developments in the global business environment.

Abstract:
This article situates the historical “Egyptian,” more commonly referred to as “Gypsy,” into the increasingly racist legal structures formed in the British North American colonies and the early United States, between the 1690s and 1860s. It simultaneously considers how those who considered themselves, or were considered by others, as “Egyptians” or “Gypsies” navigated life in the new realities created by such laws. Despite the limitations of state-produced sources from each era under study, inferences about these people’s experiences remain significant to building a more accurate and inclusive history of the United States. The following history narrates the lives of Joan Scott, her descendants, and other nineteenth-century Americans influenced by legalracial categories related to “Egyptians” and “Gypsies.” This is interwoven with the relevant historical contexts from American legal discourses that confirm the racialization of such categories over the centuries.

Abstract:
Margaret Mead was fond of saying that when speaking about another culture, it would be wise to imagine that someone from that culture was standing next to us. That advice is a good metaphor for what has in fact happened. Global technological and educational advances have brought both readers and writers into what used to be a closed purview of outside "experts." Today discourse across the north-south divide entails challenges to neocolonial approaches and assertions of rights—not only to basic resources and life chances, but also to describe as well as to determine roles, responsibilities, and eventual realities. Growing opportunities for collaboration are evident in a diverse array of cross-cultural partnerships, participatory action research, and community-based development models.

Abstract:
It is widely acknowledged that mass media play a central role in circulating and disseminating ideas. Particularly in this globalised era, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the role and impact of news media in shaping public opinion worldwide. During the attacks on New York in September 2001, for instance, CNN - the American cable news network - broadcast across the world twenty-four hours, and most of its reports were translated, or interpreted, into other languages, to be aired in other countries in real time. Most people are thus exposed to extensive reporting every day, but they are not necessarily aware that each news institution promotes, or, at least tries to construct, a particular media discourse according to its political or social orientation. Because of the complexity of mass media discourses, however, it is difficult to demonstrate how the language used participates in constructing and disseminating certain ideologies, or to challenge stereotypes and power relationships. This explains why media, news, political and institutional texts are preferred genres for critical discourse analysts. The extensive body of literature on news media discourses and their impact which draws on critical discourse analysis includes Van Dijk (1988), Fairclough (1995b), Al-Hejin (2007), Kim S (2008), among many others. Translation is a major variable that influences the circulation of ideas and ideologies, and translational choices can participate in provoking (or diffusing) political conflict. At the same time, translation may also challenge dominant discourses. Baker (1996: 14) acknowledges the power of translation, arguing that translation and the study of translation have been used as a "weapon in fighting colonialism, sexism, racism, and so on". And yet, most research on news discourse has so far tended to examine monolingual texts, rather than multilingual texts, including translations, despite the fact that numerous news reports are translated from one language into another on a regular basis. Critical approaches to language study have occasionally been used to investigate translation, in order "to reveal how translation is shaped by ideologies and in this way contributes to the perpetuation or subversion of particular discourses" (Olk 2002: 101), but such studies have remained restricted in scope. Drawing on corpus-based methodology and critical discourse analysis, this study examines US and South Korean news stories published in mainstream media with a view to identifying specific discursive practices relating to North Korea and how they are mediated in translation. The study attempts to analyse the relationship between textual features and practices specific to each news outlet. The corpus for this study consists of two separate sub-corpora, designed and compiled according to the same criteria and specifications: one made up of news texts originally written in English, and the other consisting of translated texts which include English source texts and the target texts translated from English into Korean. The texts are drawn from Newsweek/Newsweek Hangukpan and CNN/CNN Hanguel News. It is hoped that this study will enhance our understanding of some of the ways in which particular media discourses are constructed, disseminated and mediated via translation.

En este estudio nos centramos en el estudio de la clase magistral dentro de los denominados géneros académicos en el aula (Fortanet 2004b). La clase magistral es un género hablado y como tal posee ciertas peculiaridades de los géneros hablados en contraposición a los géneros académicos escritos.<br/>Nuestro estudio se centra en la comparación y contraste de dos lenguas, el español peninsular y el inglés americano, ya que como corpus se utilizan clases magistrales españolas y norte-americanas y en consecuencia se toman como referencia estudios de retórica contrastiva. En este estudio nos centramos en un aspecto concreto del lenguaje, los marcadores discursivos. Con el análisis de los marcadores discursivos en el lenguaje académico hablado en español e inglés norte-americano pretendemos ver como se usan los marcadores discursivos para favorecer a hablantes nativos y no nativos de español e inglés en el espacio de educación superior.

Abstract:
For the past 30 years, a feminist spirituality movement has been developing in North America. Variously called Goddess Worship, Goddess spirituality, or Women's spirituality, it derives in part from Neo-paganism and Contemporary Witchcraft, on the one side, and feminist liberation theology on the other. Continuing the questioning begun by Simone de Beauvoir on female self and other, on gender and its construction, and on the merits of a morality of indeterminacy, this ethnography of a community of like minded women who participate together in devotional circles to the Goddess in and around Ottawa, Ontario, Canada focuses on the ritual, textual and iconological means by which these women come to an embodied relationship with the divine apprehended as female. By deconstructing the actions, the words, and the images of the human body, as the locus of contact with the divine, and the divine body as the central cosmological metaphor of this spirituality produced and used by these women, the ritual and ethical discourses on identity, power and agency built around them are made evident. Compared and contrasted, they then are studied as charters for the construction of the self and community.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the two major conflicting modes of interpretation applied to Mo Yan’s literary texts diachronically and synchronically in order to reveal both the aesthetic imperative and the liberating force of the British and North American literary centers in receiving literature from the periphery. After an introduction to the centers’ disparate responses to the paradigmatic shift of the local Chinese literary trend in the 1980s, the thesis continues with a theoretical discussion on reader-response theory and the uneven power relations between the literary center and the periphery. Jauss’s concept of horizon of expectation and Fish’s interpretive community are adopted to stress openness in interpretation while Casanova’s conceptualization of the world republic of letters provides the framework to study the competition among interpretive communities for the legitimacy of their respective interpretation. The study of the press reception of Mo Yan focuses on the ongoing shift of horizon of expectation from the dominating political and representational mode of interpretation to one that stresses the literary and fictional nature of literature. The study shows that the imperative in the reception of Mo Yan is the extension of the Western cultural hegemony sustained by an Orientalist dichotomy. The academic promotion in the public sphere, however, shows critics’ effort to subvert such domination by suggesting an alternative mode that brings the Chinese literary context to bear on the interpretation. In addition to this, Mo Yan’s strategic negotiation with the dominating mode of reception is analysed in my close reading of POW!. At the end of the thesis, I call for general readers to raise the awareness of the hegemonic tendency of any prevailing mode of interpretation. By asserting a certain distance, readers enable the openness in interpretation and hence possible communication among different communities.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of interior narrative techniques such as free indirect discourse and internal monologue in two of James McBride’s neo-slave narratives, Song Yet Sung (2008) and The Good Lord Bird (2013). Very limited critical attention has been given to these neo-slave narratives that illustrate McBrides attention to characterization and focalized narration. In these narratives McBride builds upon the revelations he explores in his bestselling memoir, The Color of Water (1996, 2006), where he learns to disassociate race and character. What he discovers about not only his mother, but also himself, inspires his re-imagination of the people who lived during the antebellum period. His use of interior narrative techniques deviates from his peers’ conventional approach to the neo-slave narrative. His exploration of the psyche demonstrates a focalized attention to the individual, rather than a characterization of the community, which is typically portrayed in neo-slave narratives. In conclusion, this thesis argues that James McBride’s neo-slave narratives reveal his interest in deconstructing the hierarchal positioning of whites and blacks during the antebellum period in order to communicate that although African Americans were the intended victims, slave masters and mistresses were oppressed by the ideologies of slavery as well.

Abstract:
A culinária é um traço cultural muito forte e distintivo dos hábitos e feições de um povo, de uma sociedade ou mesmo de uma nação e estudos recentes sugeriram que essa atividade implica grandes desafios para os tradutores. Sabe-se que a tradução não é uma atividade neutra, uma vez que, além de preferências individuais, o tradutor transfere escolhas ideológicas para os textos que produzem. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar como o tema culinária brasileira tem sido abordado na sociedade norte-americana, comparando frequências e padrões colocacionais dos itens lexicais mais recorrentes em livros escritos por brasileiros àqueles escritos por norte-americanos. Para tanto, foi compilado um corpus de estudo comparável a partir de oito livros de receitas brasileiras publicados em língua inglesa e quatro livros de culinária brasileira publicados em português. Esse corpus foi dividido em dois subcorpora: um subcorpus receitas e um subcorpus textos informativos. O subcorpus receitas fornece subsídios para identificar os ingredientes e pratos relacionados como tipicamente brasileiros pelos norteamericanos, sendo possível, após essa identificação, compará-los ao que é publicado no Brasil. O subcorpus textos informativos é base para a análise do discurso do norte-americano em relação ao Brasil e ao povo brasileiro. A análise do corpus foi feita de maneira semi-automática, com ajuda da ferramenta computacional WordSmith Tools 5.0. A análise quantitativa dos dados precedeu a análise qualitativa, manual, do corpus de estudo. Diferenças significativas foram observadas nos dois idiomas. Os autores norte-americanos tendem a associar a culinária brasileira à culinária nordestina, principalmente à baiana. Também foi possível observar que dão preferência a receitas familiares e cujos ingredientes são mais facilmente encontrados nos Estados Unidos. Pela análise dos livros de receitas, ainda foi possível delinear certa imagem construída do brasileiro. Estereotipada, essa imagem pautou-se por características como: festeiro, místico, exótico e adepto de hábitos alimentares pouco saudáveis. Além disso, a culinária brasileira é vista como essencialmente caseira, restrita às residências, e os autores norte-americanos não costumam distinguir termos e aspectos próprios da cultura brasileira dos de outros países da América Latina. A metodologia baseada em corpus mostrou-se adequada e eficiente na identificação de padrões lexicais recorrentes, de uma forma mais prática e confiável do que seria possível a partir de uma leitura sequencial de textos individuais.<br>Culinary is a very strong cultural feature of a people, a society and even a nation, and recent studies have shown that it poses major challenges to translators. Taking into consideration that translation is not a neutral activity, since translators tend to transfer their ideological choices to the texts they produce, this research aims to investigate how Brazilian cuisine has been portrayed in North-American society. Our primary purpose is to compare the frequencies and collocational patterns of the most frequent lexical items in American and Brazilian cookbooks. In order to be able to do this, a comparable study corpus was compiled from eight Brazilian cookbooks published in English and four Brazilian cookbooks published in Portuguese. This corpus consists of two subcorpora: one made up of recipes and the other of informational texts. The recipes\' subcorpus has been compiled to enable the retrieval of ingredients and dishes which Americans would regard as typical Brazilian cooking and compare them to what is published in Brazil. The subcorpus \'informational texts\' serves as an input for the analysis of the discourse of Americans in relation to Brazil and Brazilian people. The analysis was carried out semi-automatically, by means of the software package WordSmith Tools 5.0, focusing on the quantitative as well as qualitative aspects of the data. Relevant differences were found between the books in the two languages. Firstly, North-American authors tend to associate Brazilian cuisine to dishes from the northeast of Brazil, mainly from Bahia. It was also found that North-Americans prefer recipes which are familiar to them and whose ingredients are more easily found in the United States. The analysis of the North-American discourse pointed to a stereotypical image of Brazilians, who are seen as revelers, mystic and, with unhealthy eating habits. In addition, Brazilian cuisine is mostly viewed as homemade and North-Americans do not seem to distinguish terms which are specific of the Brazilian culture from those of other Latin American countries. All in all, the corpus based methodology proposed here has proved to be adequate and reliable for identifying recurring textual patterns in a way that would not have been possible by sequential reading of individual texts.

Full text
Abstract:
The term “feminist” is a widely used label that is often embraced by women who do not advocate feminism. The wide use of the feminist label in contrast to the declining presence of feminist activism indicates a problem with the development of a third wave of feminism in the United States. In this study, I evaluated trends in feminism in the United States through an analysis of public political discourse. A semantic discourse analysis of political discourse from 1870 to 2011 evaluated a shift in the use of inclusive and exclusive pronoun usage by female political speakers. Speeches compiled for this study were obtained from internet sources such as NPR, C-Span and CNN, and evaluated the oratory of Victoria Woodhull, Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. The results of this study indicated that there was not a strong shift in the use of inclusive and exclusive pronouns overtime, but there was a large growth in both population and diversity of the targeted audience, and this growth was often not accommodated for in the discourse of contemporary female political candidates. The slow shift in inclusive discourse indicated a post-feminist line of thought that questioned the validity of an argument for a third wave of feminist activism in the United States. Political discourse cannot define a cause for post-feminism, but can indicate a downward trend in the influence of feminism as a contemporary cultural movement.

Abstract:
AbstractGlobal university rankings have emerged as a benchmark of institutional success, setting standards for higher education policymaking and institutional practices. Nevertheless, only a marginal share of higher education institutions (HEI) are in a realistic position to be ranked as a ‘world-class’ institutions. In the European context, the global rankings have been used to highlight a performance gap between European and North American institutions. Here the focus has been on the HEIs in the top-100 positions, causing concerns over European higher education. This has also become a marker of world-class university. We analyze the strategies of 27 Northern European universities in different tiers to learn how they have adjusted to the reality of ranking. We conclude that the references to global rankings have increased between 2014 and 2018. At the same time, the references to rankings have become more implicit in nature. Nevertheless, we find that the discourse of global comparison and excellence has become more common in the strategies. There are also emerging references to the regional role of universities, which are apparent in the strategies of universities that are clearly outside the top-100 ranked institutions. However, this is also a reflection of the discourse of world-class university.

Abstract:
AbstractDiversity discourses in music education tend toward anthropocentrism, focusing on human cultures, identities, and institutions. In this chapter, we broaden conceptualizations of diversity in music education to include relationships between music, education, and ecology: understood as interactions among organisms and the physical environment. Diversity in music education can be realized by attending to the ongoing interrelationships of local geography, ecology, and culture, all of which contribute dynamically to local music practices. We situate our analysis within specific Indigenous North American cultures (e.g., Western Apache, Nuu-chah-nulth, Stó:lō, and Syilx) and associated perspectives and philosophies to shed light on the multiple forms of reciprocity that undergird diversity. Indigenous knowledge, in combination with new materialism and political ecology discourses, can help us come back down to earth in ways of being and becoming that are ecologically sustainable, preserving the ecodiversity that exists and grows in place, forging egalitarian relationships and a sense of communal responsibility, fostering reverence for ancestors along with nonhuman lives and topographies, and cultivating musical practices that are one with our respective ecosystems.

Abstract:
This chapter engages the discursive problem of music in both popular and academic literature, and, using ethnographic evidence, shows that musical meaning is partially determined and simultaneously configured via linguistic and generic means. One of the ways communities may form is around shared understanding of musical meaning, and musical meaning may be determined largely by generic understandings—musical genres often function discursively for North American evangelicals. The chapter argues that generic musical meaning is imbued with values and convictions, claiming that these are negotiated as a kind of discourse ethics. However, these generic understandings of meaning are unstable, being troubled by the competing claims of authenticity and control. This instability precludes ethical theorization on the premise of discourse alone, yet it indicates that the discourse that takes place both around and through musical activity is ethically important and should be taken into account in any ethical theory that gives an account of music.
