  Norman Fairclough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norman Fairclough (1941 -) is emertius Professor of Linguistics at Lancaster University.
Fairclough's line of study, also called textually oriented discourse analysis or TODA, to distinguish it from philosophical enquires not involving the use of linguistic methodology, is specially concerned with the mutual effects of formally linguistic textual properties, sociolinguistic speech genres, and formally sociological practices.
Fairclough's theories have been influenced by Mikhail Bakhtin and Michael Halliday on the linguistic field, and ideology theorists such as Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu on the sociological one.

 Encyclopedia: Norman Fairclough
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of texts, which views language as a form of social practice (Fairclough 1989: 20) and attempts to unpack the ideological underpinnings of discourse that have become so naturalized over time that we begin to treat them as common, acceptable...
By incorporating analyses of discourse and social practices in language studies, Norman Fairclough succeeds in advancing the idea of language as a site of constant and dynamic...
Against the backcloth of this critical overview, Fairclough develops an original framework for discourse analysis which formly situates discourse in a broader context of social relations.

 Critical discourse analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fairclough notes "that language connects with the social through being the primary domain of ideology, and through being both a site of, and a stake in, struggles for power" (1989: 15).
Notable researchers include Norman Fairclough, Paul Chilton, Teun van Dijk, Christina Schäffner, Ruth Wodak, Peter Teo, Roger Fowler, Gunther Kress, Mary Talbot, and Robert Hodge.

 Norman Fairclough literacy article
I have referred to this elsewhere as ‘technologisation of discourse’ (Fairclough 1996) - instrumental rationality applied in the shaping and reshaping of discursive practices (such as interviews) within more general processes of engineering institutional cultures to enhance their ‘performativity’ (Lyotard 1984).
This process rests upon a critical awareness of discourse, but it also calls for a critical awareness of discourse amongst those who are on the receiving end of it, people who work in commercial, governmental and public service organisations in a variety of capacities.
On the contrary, discourse is a complex matching of models with immediate needs in which what emerges may be radically different from any model, ambivalent between models, or a baffling mixture of models, and where flair and creativity may have more impact than skill.

 Private Domains in the Public Domain: The Synthetic Institutionalization of Personal Web Space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Fairclough (1989) observes another kind of discursive migration, which he calls "synthetic personalization," occurring between two extremely different kinds of voices: institutional and individual.
Fairclough, in accounting for the relationship between language and its application of power, proposes that synthetic personalization manipulates two dimensions of human representation in discourse: subject positions and social relations (1989, p.217).
Fairclough reminds us that the conventions embedded in "discourse type[s] embody ideological representations of subjects and their social relationships" (1989, p.157).

This is an aspect of the multifunctional character of texts, but I am suggesting that texts not only simultaneously have representational, actional and identificatory functions in their linguistic features, they also have these functions ‘interdiscursively’, at the level of discourses, genres and styles.
In Critical Discourse Analysis, interdiscursive analysis of texts is the mediating level of analysis which is crucial to integrating social and linguistic analysis (Fairclough 1992, Chouliaraki & Fairclough 1999).
In this case for instance, one might refer to recontextualization relations between the economic field and the political field (and their orders of discourse), and between the ‘global’ scale and the national scale.

Fairclough will discuss the epistemological premises of practice, discourse and text in the context of political analysis; Chouliaraki will discuss multi-modality as a way of studying mediated political discourse, particularly the strategies of justification and legitimation of political discourse in the news.
On the second day, Fairclough will discuss textual analysis as a method of social scientific research and present a variety of political discourse materials; Chouliaraki will present the Analytics of Mediation, a framework for the analysis of mediated political discourse that shapes cosmopolitan sensibilities and political consciousness among media users.

The question of language and power is still important and urgent in the twenty-first century, but there have been substantial changes in social life during the past decade which have somewhat changed the nature of unequal power relations, and therefore the agenda for the critical study of language.
In this new edition, Norman Fairclough brings the discussion fully up-to-date and covers the issue of 'globalisation' of power relations and the development of the internet in relation to Language and Power.

Media Discourse (A Hodder Arnold Publication) by Norman Fairclough
By incorporating analyses of discourse and social practices in language studies, Norman Fairclough succeeds in advancing the idea of language as a site of constant and dynamic struggles of people in society.
This book shows us: first, how language both shapes and is shaped by society; second, how language in specific contexts can be designed and redesigned by contemporary discourse technologists to market people and products; and third, how language can satisfactorily be reshaped to change society towards emancipation and democracy.

Siegfried Jager's chapter on Discourse and Knowledge is a nice surprise from a lesser-known German analyst, who fortifies and corrects some of Foucault's conceptualizations about discourses and dispositifs and provides a trialectical model for looking at action, discourse, and manifestation.
The book is honest about CDA's "growth areas" and the criticisms it has received, and calls rather commonsensically for more research in order to shore up some of its weaknesses or areas that have not yet been fully explored.
