Letters to the Editor are an important research site
to investigate social dynamics of specific groups
because they are created by discourse producers with
status and authority different from the elites
holding and exercising socio-political control. This
real-life material includes community concerns and
personal relations, thus bringing the private
or subjective into the public sphere and showing
what is valued in situated communities. This
original and comprehensive book explores an everyday
genre using data from two countries which have
produced few studies on these discourses and even
fewer comparisons. It examines its subject through
the looking-glass of a postrationalist proposal,
Autopoiesis theory, which has been barely used in
this area of the Humanities. Its method of Discourse
Analysis incorporates analytical tools from
Pragmatics, Cognitive Linguistics and Discursive
Psychology. This text is intended for scholars and
university students working with discourse from a
multidisciplinary approach and searching for
connections that integrate the biological,
cognitive, and social dimensions of life.
