MacLure, M: Discourse in Education and Social Research Chapter 5: The fabrication of research • All research, and writing about research, is a rhetorical fabrication • Questions that might ‘open’ a research text: • How do politics and poetics intertwine in the text? • Does the text carry the ‘scent’ of an institution/discipline? • How does the text make us think it’s believable? • Where does the text get its authority? • How does the text persuade us? • Where does power reside in this text|? • What other kinds of text is this test similar to? • What is so taken for granted in the text that it remains invisible> • Whose voices are privileged? Whose silenced? • What kinds of oppositions structure the text • How are subjects shown? Who has agency? • Where does the text position the reading? (Who is the reader supposed to be?_ • What questions can the text not ask itself? • Where are the gaps, silences, inconsistencies?
