Faktizitatsherstellung in Diskursen (German, Hardcover)

That which incontrovertibly exists is presented discursively as a fact. Thus, factual knowledge is produced in discourses. This lends great relevance to discursive analysis, especially when the question is raised, whichknowledge is worthy of preservation and which should be considered expendable. The studies in this volume undertake an analysis of discourse from the perspectives of linguistics, sociology, philosophy, and risk research.
