- ItemOpen AccessKhomanani : critical discourse analysis of South African state funded publications on HIV(2008) Aulette-Root, ElizabethThe present study focuses on identifying the discourses that emerge in these official documents. A data set of the complete collection of Khomanani booklets and leaflets in English was discursively analysed. The analysis focuses on ways in which emergent discourses in the text maintain or resist existing power structures in the context of post-colonial South Africa. The discourses that emerged are: hegemonic biomedicine, gender, and citizenship discourses. The discourses in the text reinforce dominant and oppressive power structures in complex ways and necessitate a critical reworking in order to more successfully address HIV education in South Africa.
