Sintesi	Field-based Critical Discourse Analysis (Field-based CDA) integrates Pierre Bourdieu's sociological concept of the field — structured social spaces with their own rules, capital, and positions — with the linguistic and critical tools of Critical Discourse Analysis. The approach examines how language constructs, legitimates, and contests power relations within specific institutional or social fields, situating texts in their broader sociological context rather than treating discourse in isolation.	Institutional Ethnography (IE) is a qualitative research method developed by Canadian sociologist Dorothy E. Smith that investigates how people's everyday lives are shaped and coordinated by institutional texts, rules, and relations of power. Starting from the lived experience of individuals in a particular standpoint, IE traces the social organization that governs their work and troubles — revealing how macro-level institutions operate through the micro-level activities of real people.
