Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 discourse--novels, newspapers, and other mass forms of expression--and the effort of intellectuals to devise counter-discourses to combat it.
