Institutional Construction of Gamblers' Identities: A Critical Multi-method Discourse Study

by Ray C H Leung

This monograph analyzes how gamblers' identities are constructed through discourse by social institutions. Using a variety of data and analytical frameworks, the author offers concrete linguistic evidence on the complementary ontological presence of institutional power holders and the docile bodies (Foucault, 1977) for societal functioning.
