What is a discourse analysis?
Discourse analysis means different things to different people dependent on their philosphocal and theoretical background. Basically discourse analysis means a way o…f approaching a problem or a situation through 'deconstructing' the text. That is getting to understand the hidden motivation behind the text. For example discourse analysis is quite often used to analyse political text to try and understand power relations. Discourse analysis is not about trying to make a claim to a 'truth' or an absolute reality. It is more about providing an opportunity for debate to facilitate growth. There is no one accepted way of undertaking research involving discourse analysis and even well known authors on the subject are open to ongoing criticism of their approach. However, this all provides further opportunty for debate and ultimately growth. (MORE)

What is dominant discourse?
It's an expression from the field of media criticism, and was influenced by two important theorists of communication-- Michel Foucault and Stuart Hall. A "discourse" is a part…icular way of talking about a subject-- it contains meanings that are understood by groups of people or by a particular culture. For example, there is a "discourse" about illegal immigrants, or a "discourse" about mental illness. The discourse contains particular ideological beliefs: for example, there are many ways to talk about illegal or undocumented immigrants-- some people are in favor of letting them eventually become citizens (and tend to prefer the term "undocumented"), some are 100% opposed to citizenship (and their discourse focuses on "illegal"); the discourse each group uses contains not just their words, but their opinions and attitudes. A "dominant discourse" is created by those in power, and it becomes the accepted way of looking at (or speaking about) the subject, since it is repeated so much. During the war in Iraq, there was a dominant discourse about patriotism, created by the president and his administration and disseminated through the media. People who dissented from that discourse were criticized and called unpatriotic. Dominant discourses can change-- eventually, other discourses about the war emerged and drove out the one that had been dominant-- but the people in power will always resist allowing other discourses to take over, and will often use the media to repeat and reinforce what they want the public to believe.
