Abstract

In this accessible book, Delia Chiaro provides a fresh overview of the language of jokes in a globalized and digitalized world. The book shows how, while on the one hand the lingua-cultural nuts and bolts of jokes have remained unchanged over time, on the other, the time-space compression brought about by modern technology has generated new settings and new ways of joking and playing with language. The Language of Jokes in the Digital Age covers a wide range of settings from social networks, e-mails and memes, to more traditional fields of film and TV (especially sitcoms and game shows) and advertising. Chiaro's consideration of the increasingly virtual context of jokes delights with both up-to-date examples and frequent reference to the most central theories of comedy. This lively book will be essential reading for any student or researcher working in the area of language and humour and will be of interest to those in language and media and sociolinguistics.

Abstract

"Social network sites are dynamic online socio-cultural arenas which give users ample and unprecedented opportunities for self-presentation through the meshing of language with other semiotic modes. With a focus on Facebook, one of the most widely-used online social network sites, this book brings together ideas and concepts related to language online, multimodality, and identity through five topical issues. These include place, time, profession and education, stance-taking, and privacy. The book features a discourse-centred online ethnography that provides authentic verbal and multimodal Facebook posts in both Greek and English. These are complemented with insights from interviews with Facebook participants. The examples bring to life various engaging instances of self- and other-presentation on Facebook identifying the ways in which users can: (1) locate themselves in terms of place and time; (2) announce activities, share and broaden their expertise and buttress solidarity among colleagues and fellow students; (3) communicate emotions, tastes, thoughts, opinions and assessments; (4) control the flow of textual information on their Facebook profiles to secure their privacy. Focusing on discourse manifestations of identity, this book also shows how Facebook can function as a space for vernacular literacy practices, a silo of relationships, a digital memory bank, a research tool, a knowledge forum, a cardiograph of a society, and a grassroots channel."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

The Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) hasreoriented research into social forms, structuration and processes of meaning construction and reality formation; doing so by linking social constructivist and pragmatist approaches with post-structuralist thinking in order to study discourses and create epistemological space for analysing processes of world-making in culturally diverse environments.SKAD is anchored in interpretive traditions of inquiry and allows for broadening– and possibly overcoming– of the epistemological biases and restrictions still common in theories and approaches of Western- and Northern-centric social sciences. An innovative volume, thisbook is exactly attentive to these empirically based, globally diverse further developments of approach, with a clear focus on the methodology and its implementation. Thus, The Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse presents itself as a research program and locates the approach within the context of interpretive social sciences, followed byeleven chapters on different cases from around the world that highlight certain theoretical questions and methodological challenges. resenting outstanding applications of the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse across a wide variety of substantive projects and regional contexts, this text will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers interested in fields such as Discourse Studies, Sociology, Cultural Studies and Qualitative Methodology and Methods.

Abstract

Qu'il soit écrit ou verbal, qu'il constitue une réponse aux questions du chercheur ou qu'il résulte d'une quelconque interaction sociale, le discours occupe une place privilégiée parmi les matériaux empiriques du chercheur en sciences sociales. Ce donné, chargé de toute la complexité du langage, ne peut être valablement appréhendé par une lecture immédiate. Diverses méthodes se sont constituées avec une double visée : la mise au point de procédés d'analyse et leur adaptation à une perspective sociologique. Pour les désigner brièvement, on utilise le terme d'analyse de contenu. Mais au-delà de cette appellation commune, la diversité des méthodes laisse perplexes les utilisateurs. Dans cet ouvrage, quatre praticiens exposent et appliquent leur méthode : l'herméneutique collective, l'analyse textuelle de J. Gritti, une méthode d'analyse de l'ethos proposée par Chr. Lalive d'Epinay et l'analyse structurale. Le lecteur pourra ainsi cerner l'apport respectif de chacune de ces méthodes et sera invité à une lecture comparative et critique. Cette réflexion sera amorcée dans deux directions : celle d'une confrontation avec la tradition des sciences du langage et celle de la pertinence du lien qui s'établit entre la méthode et l'intention sociologique. L'ouvrage s'adresse à l'étudiant, au chercheur, à l'enseignant et à tout lecteur intéressé par les sciences sociales ou les analyses qualitatives.
