| description | Discourses of development in academic institutions must be thoroughly investigated.
Using a set of Development Communication (DevCom) syllabi and the theories of Xu
Xiaoge (2009) and Arturo Escobar (1995), this paper qualitatively investigated on
the nature and process of the constructed discourse of development in an academic
setting from sample course syllabi content, topics and activities. Results have shown
that the syllabi's content and discourse are either pro-process or pro-participation
development. Moreover, the set of studied syllabi have not actively articulated the
post-development paradigm. The research suggests that faculty members who teach
the course revisit the constructs of DevCom by constantly including development in
the content, putting the discourse of alternatives to development, and theorising on
the paradigm of development communication to further establish the feld. |
