“…Ideologies are "foundational beliefs" of social representations that are considered "the basis of discourse and other social practices" (van Dijk, 2006, p.116). In particular, critical discourse analysts seek to extrapolate the discursive structures and strategies which operationalize/(re)produce or resist particular relations of power, power abuse, dominance and injustice (Nonhoff, 2017;van Dijk, 1993), critiquing/unmasking power and ideology from a particular political, oppositional standpoint (Fairclough, 2010;Nonhoff, 2017;van Dijk, 1993;van Dijk, 2005). Critical discourse analysis requires a political/social ethic on part of the researcher to possess "critical adequacy" (van Dijk, 2005, p.19) and an explicit, oppositional stance to the status quo.…”

“…Foucault also discussed the discourse analyses in the Archaeology of Knowledge as an effective approach to view the clear picture using critical approach (Foucault, 1972). Nonhoff (2017) defined the relationship between discourse analysis and critique in two ways: (1) external and (2) integrated. The external relationship of discourse analysis and critique is expressed through core positions (Nonhoff, 2017).…”

“…Nonhoff (2017) defined the relationship between discourse analysis and critique in two ways: (1) external and (2) integrated. The external relationship of discourse analysis and critique is expressed through core positions (Nonhoff, 2017). This concept is based on analysing social, political, and other problems with the critical perspectives, which is focused on ''real'' or "serious" problems using linguistic discourse analysis.…”
