Abstract:

This volume focuses on the ongoing protest in the US against racial
discrimination and racial profiling, which often result in the loss of black
lives at the hands of police agents, a phenomenon that has recently attracted
unprecedented media attention. The topics dealt with here, such as the
relevance of the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement, are currently included in a
variety of education curricula in the US, and, in like manner, this book can
be used in first and second level degrees in linguistic and cultural studies,
communication, media studies and political sciences. It contains
well-developed methodological sections (with tables, figures, graphs and
notes), where the tenets of critical discourse analysis are concisely
illustrated from its Foucauldian roots up to the more recent developments of
multimodal critical discourse analysis and positive discourse analysis, as
well as the contribution of the Sidney School with their emphasis on mapping
culture through narrative genres and the wealth of resources for discourse
analysis provided by the appraisal framework.
