Reading chapter 2 of block3. I am interested in politics and I am interested in creativity and language! This then is proving to be a good module for me and I am enjoying reading and learning about politics of language and Creativity in a globalised world.
Learning outcomes Study in Unit 17 should allow you to:
Appreciate creativity’s potential to manipulate and transgress in the arena of political discourse
See how existing linguistic and semiotic resources are frequently repurposed for political ends (often using humour to achieve this)
Examine the ways in which technological advances contribute to the wider dissemination of political messages.
Understand how literature’s openness to interpretation makes it a particularly powerful channel for political expression.
Consider: similarities and differences between the way Lillis interprets the notion of creativity and the way it was interpreted in Blocks 1 and 2
why particular forms of linguistic and semiotic creativity are used in political discourse
How Crystal’s use of stylistics and Fairclough’s use of critical discourse analysis (CDA) aid your understanding of creativity in political discourse.
Unit 17 is going well !
