Re-framing Gender Relations: A Positive Discourse Analysis of life coaching and family counseling narrative posts on Facebook
Gender relations have been an arena of extensive Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Feminist studies as part of the "naturalized" power struggle in discourse. This paper aims to re-examine, hence re-frame gender relations within the perspective of Positive Discourse Analysis (PDA). Rather than the "deconstructive" activity of CDA that targets the revelation of various forms of sociopolitical and sociocultural power struggle, PDA has emerged as a complementary perspective. It is an attempt of a "productive activity" towards solidarity, in place of dominance and hegemony. PDA considers how people get together and make room for themselves to make "a better world". The data examined includes selected life coaching and family counseling narrative posts on Facebook. The tools employed include narrative frameworks and lexico-grammatical choices that contribute to the positive reconstruction of social actors as the main components of gender relations
