Subject to Failure

Mitchell, Ryan Robert 01 February 2008 (has links)
My project here is to look at how uncovering those unconscious and phantasmatic identifications in the social field can lead to the possibility of altering subjectivity or, at the very least, tracing how subjects are formed through structure and how they are psychically linked to ideological structure. This thesis suggests that subjection is never total or complete and that when viewed from an awry or skewed perspective, particular discourses and modes of subjection are revealed to be neither permanent, true nor necessary—we can always open up new spaces of subjectivity and discourse and through the practice of ‘tracing’ structure we can discern how we are determined and at which points structure constrains or enables us. My work is an effort to supplement theories of discourse analysis/ideology critique with psychoanalytic concepts, and more specifically, the psychoanalytic category of fantasy to discuss the ways in which discourses are provided with coherence and how subjects are tethered/binded to discursive fields. In my discussion of the non-discursive, I will be drawing from the Freudian concept of unheimlich, or the uncanny, to discuss the ways in which discursive fields become disrupted by repressed or “foreign” elements. I contend that the subject always exceeds structure, and for this reason, there is always room for resistance within discursive fields. / Thesis (Master, Sociology) -- Queen's University, 2008-01-30 10:31:51.525

I've had a good life - I can't complain : a description of cognitive, physiological and environmental effects on discourse behaviour with ageing and an analysis of discursive representations of normal ageing / by Carol Gibson. / Description of cognitive, physiological and environmental effects on discourse behaviour with ageing and an analysis of discursive representations of normal ageing

Gibson, Carol, (Carol Margaret). January 2001 (has links)
Includes bibliographical references. / xi, 264, [69] leaves : ill. ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / Physiological, cognitive and environmental changes, together with personal and social attitudes towards the ageing process and towards the state of being old, bring about alterations in opportunities for communication. This, in turn, brings about changes in who we talk to, what we talk about and how we are talked about. This dissertation discusses the changes and the subsequent effects on communication abilities and possibilities. There are three interrelated elements in this research project: linguistic self-identification of the elderly, linguistic representaion of the elderly and communication networks of the elderly. Findings indicate that the predominant social perseptions of ageing as revealed through the media and most fiction, with the exception of some children's picture books, are linguistically marked for negative stereotypes. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Adelaide University, Dept. of Linguistics, 2001
