“…This strategy requires creative and active use of a range of conceptual tools and iterative engagement with empirical materials rather than one dominant conceptual framing (deductive) or a descriptive grounded theory approach (inductive). An abductive materialist approach enables ‘seeing’ from multiple perspectives, drawing from our “theoretical repertoire” to provide “illumination, insight, and understanding” and to “generate new conceptualizations” (Frauley, 2021, p. 9). This is not a static or fixed process, but instead an “iterative interplay between generating ideas and engaging with empirical materials” (Frauley, 2021, p. 9).…”

This paper explores the symbolic dimension of corruption in the print media, or the rhetoric deployed that reproduces a particular discursive order. Employing an abductive materialist analysis and drawing insight from the political-economy and critical anti-corruption(ism) literatures, we examined over 2300 news items on corporate corruption in five prominent Canadian newspapers. In addition to finding differing and contradictory notions of corruption, we identify three phases of (anti)corruption rhetoric that represent notable moments in the struggle over the meaning of corruption and how to curb it. The paper concludes that Canadian newspapers have reproduced the language and claims of powerful voices emanating from the international realm rather than scrutinizing these claims, resulting in an incoherent Canadian popular discourse on corruption.
