Alec McHoul

Alexander William McHoul (born 14 June 1952) is a British-Australian academic. He is an emeritus professor at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia.

Biography

McHoul was born in Wallasey, a town on the Wirral Peninsula, England.[citation needed] In 1973 he graduated from the University of Lancaster, with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Literature and Linguistics and, in 1974, a Master of Arts.[citation needed] In 1975 he moved to Australia.[citation needed] In 1978 he received a PhD from Australian National University, with a thesis titled Telling how texts talk: from readings of Wittgenstein, Schutz, ethnomethodology and the sociology of literature to the analysis of readings.[1]

Criticism and Culture

McHoul's work spans a range of academic fields such as linguistics, cultural theory, continental philosophy and literary theory. Robert Eaglestone, for example, says of McHoul's' Semiotic Investigations: Towards an Effective Semiotics: 'The book is no less ... an attempt to work in at least three fields at once, and McHoul seems at home dealing with analytic philosophy, continental philosophy, semiotics, and linguistics'.[2] Douglas Ezzy says, 'His [McHoul's] theoretical range is wide, drawing on Wittgenstein, Saussure, ethnomethodology [and] phenomenology'..[3]
