This thesis conducts a Discourse Analysis of “Sumud Podcast: Inspired by Palestine”, reflecting on the discursive construction of the diaspora’s identity and collective imaginary, as well as the representations of care practices and their radical potential. Resorting to a framework that combines both Diaspora Theories and Radical Care, the analytical focus centres both on how care practices are

Taking inspiration from Fairclough’s Three Levels Framework, this study employs a Positive Discourse Analysis to analyse 16 episodes of this Podcast. The findings show that care is both constructed as a moral obligation and a multi-dimensional praxis, presented as an important tool for the design and imagination of alternative futures. It provides insights around digital spaces, its exploration by counter-hegemonic discourses and how diaspora subjects challenge neoliberal and colonial forms of caregiving. (Less)
