Diskursusanalüüsi rakendamine religiooniuuringutes: muinsuskaitseklubi Tõlet ajakirjade näidisanalüüs. (Estonian)

During the last decade, discourse analysis (DA) has become a popular method in religious studies. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge of implementing DA in accordance with theory and method, there is lack of clarity with regards to its proper application. It seems that vague understanding of the theoretical background of the method is the underlying problem and thus its main analytical concept – discourse – also remains vague. The aim of this article is to bring some clarity to the use of DA and to show how thoroughly the method and theory are intertwined. An example of the implementation of DA is also given, highlighting how during the revolutionary processes in Estonia the Heritage Protection Club Tõlet’s ideals of independence and identity were connected to their idealization of Ancient Estonia.
