analysis) was not done in a specific order. Rather, as will be elaborated on in in the next chapter, during the research the analyses of the texts were constantly moving back and forth between these parts of the analysis. The next stage of Fairclough’s approach is stage 3: “consider whether the social order (network of practices) in a sense ‘needs’ the problem” Fairclough 2001a, 124–125). Essentially, this stage has already been covered in the introduction and first chapter, since this stage is about whether the problem is a constructed problem or not, for whom it is a problem, what the relevance is of addressing this problem. In the conclusion I will touch upon this stage once more in light of the findings of stage 2 and as part of stage 4, which is concerned with the identification of possible ways past the obstacles. The drawing up of stage 5, the critical reflection on the analyses of stages one to four is covered in chapter 4. As mentioned before, CDA is not a strict approach. It is encouraged to create a process that suits a specific case. Therefore, I have not blindly followed Fairclough’s list of steps and stages, but kept thinking how certain stages, steps and parts were productive for my research. Since the stages, parts, and steps that were described in this section can be confusing, I have once again printed the overview of the framework below and included the chapters and of my thesis that address specific parts of the framework: Stage 1 Stage 2 Focus upon a social problem that has a semiotic aspect. Identify obstacles to it being tackled, through analysis of a) the network of practices it is located within b) the relationship of semiosis to other elements within the particular practice(s) concerned c) the discourse (the semiosis itself) • structural analysis: the order of discourse • interactional analysis • interdiscursive analysis linguistic and semiotic analysis Consider whether the social order (network of practices) in a sense ‘needs’ the problem. Identify possible ways past the obstacles Reflect critically on the analysis Introduction Chapter 1.2: “Current discussions on search algorithms” Chapter 1.1: “What is an algorithm?
