Title: Emancipatory Discourses on Ideology, Power, and the Media: A CDA
Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to explore the application of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to the potential of the media as a mechanism that
venues emancipatory discourses to catapult ideological transformation and
democratic social change. Discourse, ideology, and power in the media, as
oppressive systems, maintain the status quo and control people’s ideologies
and their perspectives. This chapter analyzes and critiques the discourse of
Suli Breaks-a young male in the media-on his position regarding school
and education through CDA, an approach that helps reveal the linkages
among discourse, ideology, and power.
