Sharp Dealing

Beschreibung

The book applies pragmatic analysis to Supreme Court of Canada decisions on indigenous rights, and to historical record of interactions around first legal contact between European and indigenous peoples. Recognising challenges to study of topics in indigeneity, it takes pragmatic methods to discussion of research ethics. Levinson’s concept of genre is re-activated and adds the social-action version of genre found in new-rhetorical genre theory.
