Hidden and Public Transcripts/Use of Power

Abstract: A 5 page research paper on James Scott's model of discourse that delineates between hidden and public transcripts. Basically, public transcripts are the face that subordinated people assume for those in power, while hidden transcripts are what they really think and feel. Scott makes an excellent argument that this model for considering discourse illuminates the dynamics of social power structures. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
