Title: | Critical Discourse Analysis of Rhetoric Against Complementary Medicine | Contributor(s): | Flatt, Jeffrey (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/13715 | Abstract: | Purpose: This paper aims to critically analyse a selection of the 'Friends of Science in Medicine' media to determine if power and ideology are linguistically structured and deployed in their representation of complementary medicine. Design/methodology/approach: Thirteen separate media events are collated as a single case and analysed by critical discourse analysis. This research design interrogates discourse statements for their constitution and reproduction of power and ideology. Findings: The Friends of Science in Medicine represent complementary medicine through a strategy of rhetoric and argumentation that contradicts the literature. Their discourse is symbolic and derives from a power-based ideological perspective that forms the basis for promoting exclusion of complementary medicine from university education and primary health care. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Creative Approaches to Research, 6(2), p. 57-70 | Publisher: | Creative Approaches to Research | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1835-9442 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200403 Discourse and Pragmatics 110499 Complementary and Alternative Medicine not elsewhere classified 130209 Medicine, Nursing and Health Curriculum and Pedagogy |
