This volume gathers the work of the Brussels Discourse Theory Group, a group of critical media and communication scholars that deploy discourse theory as a theoretical backbone and an analytical research perspective. The book seeks to show the value and applicability of discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) within the field of media and communication studies, through a variety of case studies that highlight both the radical contingent nature and the hegemonic workings of media and communication practices.

Leen Van Brussel is a staff member of the Flemish Institute of Healthy Living (Vlaams Instituut Gezond Leven), where she works on health promotion ethics and health communication. Nico Carpentier is associate professor in media and communication studies at the Department of Media Studies of Charles University in Prague. Benjamin De Cleen is assistant professor at the Communication Studies Department of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB-Free University of Brussels) where he is the coordinator of the English-language master’s on journalism and media in Europe.
