Not OP, but dialectics not dialects. Here's how I interpret it:
The phrase dialectics of power is framing the concept that a lot of a political discourse is centered around arguments of who has power, and who doesn't.
Its superficial arguing. "Oh no, X has won the house that means the future of Y is in peril!" instead of discussion around why X won the house or why idea Y is something we want in our future.
Much of this line of thinking is about making sweeping assumptions about policies, and what groups of people/political organizations believe and support.
- mancerayder 4y agoTalking in the context of power relations seems inherently combative a form of discourse. If you feel you're up against someone with a differing viewpoint on a topic and it's so because of their different power vantage, you are going to what: either fight argumentatively or lecture to the person in front of you that they're naughty and need to see it. It doesn't seem productive.
