Discourse studies in the 21st century: A response to Mats Alvesson and Dan Kärreman’s ‘Decolonializing discourse’
回应Alvesson和Kärreman关于去殖民化话语的评论，探讨话语的定义、作为概念框架、语言、能动性及与非话语的对立等核心问题。
This article reflects on some of the definitions and practices that fall under the heading ‘discourse studies’. The springboard for my reflections is Mats Alvesson’s and Dan Kärreman’s retrospective piece, ‘Decolonializing discourse’, published in this issue. In responding to their piece, I’ll address some of the ‘big’ issues they raise: discourse as conceptual frame; discourse as language; the agency of discourse, and discourse as opposed to non-discourse.
