Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm undertaking a PhD on the topic of green architectural discourse,
implementing Bourdieu's social theory (field) and Foucualt's notion of
the 'will to truth' to determine distinction and exclusion. <br>
I am currently in the process of determining an appropriate discourse
analysis method and am concerned that as I am not trained in linguistics,
and am applying discourse analysis to a previous unrelated area of
discourse (architecture), I may not select the most appropriate
method.<br>
<br>
<b>Is anyone out there doing work in this area, that is, analysing
architectural discourse, green architectural discourse, environmental
discourse or green discourse, who can suggest and comment on appropriate
methods</b>, e.g. Teun van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis, Norman
Fairclough's Media Discourse Analysis etc.<br>
<br>
Thanking you,<br>
<br>
