108 ŠOLSKO POLJE LETNIK <strong>XX</strong> ŠTEVILKA 5/6discussing prevailing discourse topics. Establishment of the OHR afterDayton, with its actions and interactions, is seen as a semiotic act in whichthe final word and interpretation of everything related to transition andfuture European integrations in Bosnia rests with the HR.Although discourses on democratization and transition have blurredboundaries, democratization or the so-called ‘post-war period’, conditionallyspeaking, began in 1996 and ended in 2000, when the transitionstage began which still continues today. The OHR-style democratizationand, more recently, Europeanization discourses are rarely criticizedexcept from an extremely nationalistic point of view. In a world where‘social power is based on privileged access to socially valued resources,such as wealth, income, position, force, group membership, education orknowledge power’ (Van Dijk, 1993a: 254), it seems that BiH citizens eitherdon’t have or don’t have enough of such power given the little resistanceto OHR’s activities during the period. The reasons are plentiful: weak publicopinion, corrupted and discredited politicians who are using populistrhetoric, the historical legacy of the Balkans as the Other, or mistrustand insecurity aggravated by the poverty typical for any post-war society.This type of discourse-as-social-interaction presumes subject positionsand through occupying them both the OHR and BiH citizens becomewhat they are. In the same way, occupation of the aforementioned subjectpositions, i.e. the dominant (OHR) and the dominated (BiH citizens),reproduces and temporarily fixates a certain social order that, wrongly,appears to be commonsensical. In this situation, BiH politicians, althoughsometimes appearing hesitant to attract votes, cannot but agree to theOHR’s decisions which creates a culture of dependence. Via its Internetportal, the OHR informed the public, used strategies of positive self – andnegative other-presentation (Majstorović, 2006), sanctioned, brought legislationor otherwise promoted political stances. To make their dominancemore efficient, the OHR also used all modern communication resourcesavailable from press officers, through press releases and press conferenceswhere their statements appear in various frames and recontextualizations(Bernstein, 1990), such as extradition of war criminals to ICTY framedas a necessary precondition for entering the EU or frequent appealsto intellectuals to help BiH accept the changes and transition.
THE VOICE OF AN AGENDA-SETTING AUTHORITY - CONTENT CHARACTERISTICS ...1095. Analyzing the data: definition of topic/themeDiscourse topics are crucial for understanding of text and talk (Van Dijk,1997: 10). It is »an intuitively satisfactory way of describing the unifyingprinciple which makes one stretch of discourse ‘about’ something andthe next stretch ‘about’ something else« (Brown and Yule, 1983: 70). Forthese reasons, the key rule in defining them was centrality of some propositionsand concepts in relation to others (Tomlin, Forrest et al. in VanDijk: 1997a). The study of semantic macrostructures of a text may showhow propositions are ordered in hierarchical networks of importance, relevanceor conceptual dominance (Van Dijk, 1993b: 33). Themes or topicsare primarily realized in headlines or lead paragraphs and they »definethe overall coherence or semantic unity of discourse, and also what informationreaders memorize best from a news report« (Van Dijk, 1998: 248).The semantic representation cannot be systematically ‘reduced’ to producethe discourse topic representation is provided; instead, one is requiredto go back to the original text and »make up a sentence which appearsto summarize the main points in the piece of text, and then translate thissentence into a semantic representation« (Brown and Yule, 1983: 109).To identify topics and not the amount of airtime, I needed to becomefamiliar with the corpus and then use corpus linguistics methodology. Thedata were downloaded from the OHR’s website by means of Teleport Proand then processed by Wordsmith Tools software whereby two wordlistswere created: a wordlist of the entire corpus and a wordlist comprising ofheadlines. These were compared with the reference corpus wordlist, whichwas Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations and some other texts in my textualarchive, which made up a reasonably big list for calculating keyness 7 . Iidentified recurrent topics by investigating the contents of all the texts inthe corpus and came up with a list that to a great extent coincided with thetopics that were discussed in the HR’s special reports to the UN Generalsecretary 8 . Then, to corroborate these findings, I analyzed headlines of over1400 press releases between 1996-2004 and partly 2005, as these were themost direct way of addressing the BiH public, and came up with a similar listof key words that coincided with the previously defined topic category 9 .This reason why I combined the two calculations was because thismethodology proved in many ways problematic: the keyword analyseswere not clear-cut in the sense that they yielded a lot of function words.Another problems with the content analysis method was that it included agreat deal of overlap between the topics as some fell into multiple catego-
