| Abstract | "This volume aims to offer a critical discursive-argumentative framework that will enable scholars to scrutinize the discursive construction of and, moreover, the argumentative justification for authoritarian attitudes on newspaper front pages in highly polarized times of multiple 'crises' in Greece (i.e., 'debt crisis' and 'refugee crisis'). In this sense, it aspires to outline novel research avenues that could lead scholars, working in the fields of critical discourse and argumentation studies, multimodality, and communication sciences, to move beyond studying the meaning potential of multimodal artifacts, all the while paving the way for a study of the argumentative inferences that are triggered by multimodal discourses in very polarized contexts. It frames the theoretical discussion based on notions such as Nikos Poulantzas' 'authoritarian statism' as well as Antonio Gramsci's 'hegemony' and 'intellectuals'. Methodologically, it draws on the agenda of Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA), synthesizing principles and tools from social semiotics and (multimodal) argumentation studies with a particular focus on inference in argumentation, for micro-level (textual) analysis"-- Provided by publisher. |
