Short Description:
This volume gathers the work of the Brussels Discourse Theory Group, a 
group of critical media and communication scholars that deploy discourse 
theory as a theoretical backbone and an analytical research perspective. 
The book seeks to show the value and applicability of 
discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) within the field of media and 
communication studies, through a variety of case studies that highlight 
both the radical contingent nature and the hegemonic workings of media 
and communication practices.

About the Editors:
Leen Van Brussel is a staff member of the Flemish Institute of Healthy 
Living (Vlaams Instituut Gezond Leven), where she works on health 
promotion ethics and health communication; Nico Carpentier is associate 
professor in media and communication studies at the Department of Media 
Studies of Charles University in Prague; Benjamin De Cleen is assistant 
professor at the Communication Studies Department of the Vrije 
Universiteit Brussel (VUB-Free University of Brussels) where he is the
