Naturalized Discourse in Arguments : A Textual Approach to the Study of Social Representations

ABSTRACT This paperdiscusses that using a textual approach to study social representations in arguments could help to better understand the relationships among naturalized discourse and argumentation. To naturalize an utterance,i.e. to make it commonsensical, is to give an arbitrary utterance the quality of “true” without questioning the ideological context which frames -and, therefore, gives meaning- to that utterance. Naturalized discourse is discourse that has become commonsensical even though it has actually been framed by the values and beliefs of a given social group. This paper argues that using critical discourse analysis (CDA) to study discourseat the textual level might be useful to find how social representations could affect the strength of an argument.

Multiculturalism and Nationhood : A Postmodernist Reading of Nadine Gordimer's None to Accompany me and Gillian Slovo's Red Dust

Eric Nsuh Zuhmboshi The University of Yaounde I (Cameroon) Department of African Literature and Civilisations  ABSTRACT  In order to forestall the trauma of the past, post-apartheid South African leadership has been legislating laws to reconcile cultural differences among its citizens in the hope of invigorating the spirit of nationhood. Thus for socio-political harmony to exist in this society, cultural pluralism and dialogue must be encouraged so that the different races and ethnic groups will see each other as part of the same nation. Using Nadine Gordimer’s None to Accompany Me and Gillian Slovo’s Red Dust, this paper verifies the place of multiculturalism in post-apartheid literary narratives and its influence in inculcating the spirit of national consciousness in South Africa. From the paradigm of postmodernist criticism, this paper sustains the premise that for social justice and harmony to reign in multicultural and multiracial societies, there should be the ...
