Antiracism is a global and historical social movement of resistance and solidarity, yet there have been relatively few books focusing on it as a subject in its own right. After his earlier books on racist discourse, Teun A. van Dijk provides a theory of antiracism along with a history of discourse against slavery, racism and antisemitism. He first develops a multidisciplinary theory of antiracism, highlighting especially the role of discourse and cognition as forms of resistance and solidarity. He then covers the history of antiracist discourse, including antislavery and abolition discourse between the 16th and 19th century, antiracist discourse by white and black authors until the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter, and Jewish critical analysis of antisemitic ideas and discourse since the early 19th century. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how racism and antisemitism have been critically analysed and resisted in antislavery and antiracist discourse

The study examines Hungarian historiography since the Hungarian democratic transformation. Its main question is how Hungarian history writing was able to reformulate itself during the short period after 1989. In academic and public discourse one can observe parallel processes of de-ideologization and re-ideologization towards a one-sided commitment to the national(istic) viewpoint. The study starts by setting the general scene and examining the politics of memory within the fields of general focus, i.e., the discourses of memory politics and institutions. Afterwards, it discusses two focal themes in greater detail: 1956 and the Kádár era on one hand, and the Horthy era on the other. The discussion follows the order in which these themes emerged in the discourse. It also contains a short overview of the memory politics linked to the given theme as well as the various currents in history writing, narrating and interpreting these important issues of the national historical canon.

CLIL is the acronym coined by professors David Marsh and Anne Maljers and it stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It describes a well-known and widespread methodology in Europe and in the Italian school system which was officially recognised in 1994. The current Italian school legislation has adopted it both to increase SL practice and to promote learner-centred approaches and teaching innovation. The Italian publishing industry has started to dedicate much attention to the development of ready-made supports for high school teachers and fix 'canonical' topics. Following the recent analyses of authorial voice in the academic discourse of historiography (Bondi 2007; 2009; 2012; 2014; 2017) and the applications of corpus linguistics/stylistics and appraisal theory to different textual typologies (White 2002; Martin and White 2005), this article aims at exploring the seemingly marginal textuality produced for CLIL history teaching. It constitutes an attempt at tracing stances of authorial voice in a corpus of 23 titles representing the totality of CLIL history textbooks adopted in the fifth year of Italian Licei and Istituti Tecnici throughout Italy. This corpus will be analysed with the aid of databases belonging to the most important and 'CLIL-involved' Italian publishers of schoolbooks and CLIL booklets (among others, Mondadori Scuola, Einaudi Scuola, Laterza Scolastica and more). The discourse analysis conducted on the texts will attempt at highlighting how the authors' different approaches to and viewpoints on contemporary history are conveyed linguistically in English, which in most cases is not their native language.

"Providing an account of the development of economic thought, this book explores the extent to which economic ideas are rooted in moral values. Adopting an approach rooted in 'pragmatism', the work explores key questions which have been considered by economists since the classical political economists. These include: what degree of priority ought to be granted to property rights among all individual liberties; whether uncertainties in economic life justify investing political authorities with the power to stabilize business cycles; whether it is better to trust entrepreneurial initiatives to resolve societal dilemmas or to centralize policy-making in the hands of a benevolent government. The chapters argue that economic thought has evolved from an emphasis on "sympathy" (as defined by Adam Smith) and that there has more recently been a rediscovery of the significance of sympathy reinvented as "fair reciprocity" in the wake of the emergence of behavioural economics and its connection to evolutionary psychology. This key book is of great interest to readers in the history of ideas, political and moral philosophy, and political economy.

A critique of critical discourse analysis (CDA) examines its place in the materialist conception of history & whether the latter notion can account for the significance & role of discursive phenomena in contemporary processes of social change. Focus is on Norman Fairclough's (eg, 1997) version of CDA, & an outline of this is offered before commenting on his main political & economic arguments for CDA. In this light, the CDA conception of the dialectical relationship between discourse & social structures is considered, providing three examples of CDA application to social & political phenomena -- advertising discourse, commodification in discourse, & the politics of New Labour discourse. It is concluded that the principles & methods of CDA are incompatible with the materialist conception of history, contending that CDA's approach to language mystifies the role of discourse &, thus, that the CDA project is misconceived. In this light, how Marx & Engels approached discourse is then elaborated in terms of their theoretical & political work, concluding that there is no method or procedure applicable to discourse generally that can establish its ideological function or causal role in the social process. 36 References.

The object our thesis is to bring to light signs of relations (meeting points and divergences) between a specifical discourse (historical discourse and notion of type of discourse to debate) and the historian's source. The study will focus on a selection of material composed of a part of historical discourse and a part of historical source (research in archives and digitalisation). The discourse of history is the meeting place traces of the historian's source, with the perception of events (in the past or nowaday, and through collective memory and cultural heritage), and the past reality, which was written by the historian. Science of langage will show the discourse elaborating constructions of meaning in specific domains (historical and politic) on the level of the text and the inter-texte level (intertextual and interrelation relations). If the historian discourse is a reappropriate and a reformulation of the historians source, it must carry its traces, and linguistic can explain structures of meanings. ; Notre travail a pour objectif d'analyser les rapports entre un « discours d'archive » et un « discours d'historien » (notion de genre à discuter), chaque modalité renvoyant à des fonctions et à des formes de structurations différentes tout en portant sur la même réalité. Il y a donc un double paradigme mais avec des corrélations. L'analyse portera sur un corpus de discours d'archive (étape pré-analytique de recherche et de numérisation) et sur un corpus d'écrits d'historiens. Après une description des relations qu'ont pu entretenir l'histoire, la linguistique puis plus tard l'analyse du discours, nous analyserons chaque partie du corpus, puis nous les confronterons pour tenter d'identifier leurs points de rencontre et de divergence. Le discours historien est le siège de la confrontation entre d'une part les traces que le passé a laissées et la perception que l'on a des événements (dans le passé et dans le présent, et ce sous le joug de la mémoire collective et de l'héritage culturel), et d'autre part la ...
