Discourse/Counter-Discourse is situated on the border between cultural history and literary criticism: combining the insights of Marxism and semiotics, it attempts to delineate the cultural function of texts. Focusing on France during a period of remarkable cultural, social, and political transformation, Richard Terdiman examines both the dominant bourgeois discoursenovels, newspapers, and other mass forms of expressionand the effort of intellectuals to devise counter-discourses to combat it.Use it on commutes, the lectures cover a good reach of topics, Miller is entertaining and keeps the subject interesting and its broken down by individual topics so if you want to learn about Joinder specifically or Preclusion Doctrine etc. Interesting snapshot into the timeframe described..
