The Politics of Critical Discourse
The Politics of Critical Discourse'In this paper I want to examine the structures and influences that support a distinctive class of players in our society: players who have created space for themselves in our daily life,' wrote the late J. David Ciccariello-Maher, author of his best-selling book, 'In Trump We Trust.' While examining these players can help us understand our current predicament, it is also important to acknowledge their individual histories, which are varied, including hip hop, rap, punk, skateboarding, hip-hop, indie, and other forms of culture.The analysis is also a study of the impact of Critical Discourses, the dominant subjectivity. Critical Discourses are the processes through which people create both their private identities and their personal discourses, including language, value, images, symbols, values, beliefs, and even values as they relate to identity. How is one defined as a Critical Discourse? Critical Discourse theorists will argue for the value of the discursive author as the critical mechanism for creating power.Critical Discourses, the dominant process of socialization, creates a necessity for individuals to engage in the production of power. In addition, Critical Discourses and power are interrelated, creating a situation where individuals are struggling to generate more power in their day-to-day lives.The creative process of Critical Discourses is a collective act that results in one creating power within a given discourse. The Critical Discourse, the object of the analysis, is a shared definition that becomes the defining characteristic of the user. This process creates a demand for power to be directed to enact desired outcomes.Political power is produced by the ability to engage the public and generate social agreement, and thus is a real force within society. However, this ability to engage the public is not necessary to hold power in a society. Power is created by the demand for it and the willingness of the people to g o to the point of sacrificing themselves to sustain power.The process of Critical Discourses creates a need for power that can only be created by someone, or something, who is willing to take risks to achieve power. The Critical Discourse creates the determination of what is desired, and it can demand that we take risks in order to attain it.The demand for power is a matter of social support. The idea of Critical Discourse-as a social a need for social support in order to create power, as people identify with the discursive artist. There is nothing wrong with being a Critical Discourse artist, and anything that causes a social audience to identify with a socially controversial artist is a benefit, but it is important to remember that Critical Discourse in itself does not produce power.It is through the introduction of new social movements that power can be created. In this way, the power of the Critical Discourse cannot be identified with a single actor, because power exists as a se ries of social movements-which must be ongoing.
