Discourse analysis/propaganda analysis.

One can get a very different idea of discourse analysis depending on what
book one reads. I presume the students are sophisticated enough to sample
various books and choose one that suits their needs. Therefore they can
read any of the following. Brown is older and drier, but still very
useful; Johnstone and Martin/Rose are more recent.
   Brown, Gillian and George Yule, Discourse Analysis. Cambridge.
University Press, 1983. UHS 401.41 Bro
   Johnstone, Barbara, Discourse Analysis. Blackwell, 2004 (UHS 401.41
Joh; Sophus C 130 Joh)
   Martin, J.R. and David Rose, Working with Discourse: Meaning Beyond the
Clause. Continuum, 2004 (UHS 401.41 Mar)

For propaganda analysis one can get a good, short introduction from:
   Britannica Online. "Propaganda"

Narrative Analysis.

This also means different things for different scholars. A good
introduction can be had in Peter Barry, Beginning Theory: Chapter 12,
"Narratology", which all the students should read. (UHS 801.95 Bar)
   Social science students should read:
   Toolan, Michael, Narrative: A Critical Linguistic Introduction.
Routledge, 2001 (UHS 809.923 Too)
   Riessman, Catherine Kohler, Narrative Analysis. Sage, 1993 (UHS 300.722
Rie)

Students of literature should read:
   Bal, Mieke, Narratology. University of Toronto Press, 1997. (UHS 808.393)
