Fairclough’s Organisational Critical Discourse Analysis Methodology in the Studies of Art Organisations and Events

Researching art organisations and institutions from a discursive point of view with a focus on art events needs an interdisciplinary method based on a specific theory and approach, </span>in order to shed light on procedures and structures of power and ideology. </span>The present paper investigates the challenges of exploiting critical discourse analysis method (</span>CDA). </span>After focusing on organisations and events, </span>data collection and analysis methods, </span>it moves on to the foundations of the methodologies of CDA, </span>and then on Norman Fairclough’</span>s theories, </span>showing how data is gathered and analysed using contemporary Iranian Art organisations and events. </span>The research shows that based on the tri-</span>level CDA method of Fairclough, </span>which is in line with Roy Bhaskar’</span>s analytical model, </span>and also taking advantage of Fairclough’</span>s Organisational Discourse analysis, </span>one can refer to archival data such as statutes, </span>regulations, </span>recalls, </span>and then use intertextual and interdiscursive analyses of discursive behaviours of organisations and their events, </span>to identify features and paradoxes of discursive hegemonisation in art and culture.</span></span></div>
