Intertextuality and the Discourse Community Forum Analysis

Question Description

In the article you read by James E. Porter, “Intertextuality and the Discourse Community,” he follows his explanation of intertextuality with an argument concerning pedagogy, in which he states,

Intertextuality suggests that the proper focus of audience analysis is not the audience as receivers per se, but the intertext of the discourse community. Instead of collecting demographic data about age, educational level, and social status, the writer might instead ask questions about the intertext: What are the conventional presuppositions of this community? In what forums do they assemble? What are the methodological assumptions? What is considered “evidence,” “valid argument,” and “proof”?

At the end of the document, Porter includes an appendix, “Forum Analysis,” in which he outlines a means of performing such analysis.

To apply Porter’s concepts to our DC, Amateur Genealogists, study the forum “World War I Centenary and FTF” on the Family Tree Forum website by completing the following steps:

First, review the introduction to this site’s forums: https://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/393-Research-Forums (Links to an external site.) .
Skim through the “Family Tree Forum FAQ”: https://www.familytreeforum.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_forums_threads_posts (Links to an external site.) .
Study the forum “World War I Centenary and FTF (Links to an external site.)” by reading through multiple pages of posts.
Using Porter’s “Forum Analysis” outline, analyze this forum.
