Abstract
Book review: Discourse and crisis: critical perspectives by Antoon De Rycker & Zuraidah Mohd Don (eds.), published by Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2013, 489pp.
Discourse and crisis contains a collection of studies on the discursive construction of ‘crisis’ in a wider sense, exploring how crises are ‘being essentially socially produced and discursively constituted’ (4), using a broad range of methods including Conversation Analysis and Corpus Assisted Discourse Analysis. Methodologically dominant are, however, various forms of Critical Discourse Analysis. The volume is divided into three main parts, each containing chapters on one major context of crisis discourse: organisational discourse, political discourse, and media discourse. The three parts are framed by a two-chapter introduction and an epilogue that give the volume a thorough theoretical base.
