CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS - FROM THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL TO THE ARTICULATION AMONG PRACTICES: THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Abstract

In this work we make a retrospective of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) while emphasizing the movement between the three-dimensional model proposed by Fairclough (1989, 1992) and the theoretical elaboration of CDA proposed by Chouliaraki & Fairclough (1999). The goal is to show that such a development of that discipline is, above all, a movement of discourse toward practices, of which discourse is but a moment. The dialogue with critical perspectives from the Social Sciences - the works of Habermas (2002 [1987]), Harvey (1992 [1989], 1996), Giddens (1991, 2002), among others - we find in the 1999 model implies a development of the social bases of CDA and, consequently, a refinement of its emancipatory character.
