discourse science and spectacle

[Dr Adrian Carr]

I totally agree with David's comments here and indeed wonder how anybody
can want to be contemporary in the arena of discourse and not critically
appraise those narratives that are currently influencing our lives.
Discourse is communication, but the 'invisible hand' and use of it to
mobilise an ideology is a fundamental issue - less we fall into the abyss
of semiotics?
