Abstract
This study provides an overview of the linguistic representations of power dynamics in fine arts administration discourse. Using a critical discourse analysis framework, this research examines the language and communication patterns employed by fine arts administrators to exercise power and influence. The findings reveal that power dynamics are embedded in the linguistic structures, vocabulary, and pragmatics of fine arts administration discourse, reflecting and reinforcing existing social hierarchies. The study contributes to our understanding of the complex relationships between language, power, and fine arts administration, highlighting the need for critical awareness and reflective practice in this field. The implications of this research are relevant to fine arts administrators, policymakers, and scholars interested in the intersection of language, power, and organizational dynamics.
