Deadline DNC6

Dear colleagues,

The deadline for the submission of abstracts and panel proposals for the 6th DiscourseNet Congress is approaching. The deadline is February 28th 2025. 

The theme of the congress is Discourse and the imaginaries of past, present and future societies: media and representations of (inter)national (dis)orders . 

  The congress will be organized between July 7th and July 10th 2025, at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). 

The 6th DiscourseNet Congress (DNC6) focuses on the discursive construction of social and political imaginaries. It offers a forum to discuss how social actors imagine and articulate past, present and future societies in a world marked by multiple and overlapping crises. 

DNC6 welcomes contributions of authors who explore ontological, theoretical, and methodological aspects of imaginaries that may (re)shape our societies. We also welcome analyses and case studies of specific imaginaries circulating in our mediatized societies. These may focus on linguistic, textual, narrative, visual, multimodal, and/or ideological articulations of social and political imaginaries. 

This conference is open to discourse scholars from all disciplines, as well as to other scholars in the humanities and social sciences working on (aspects of) the imaginaries that allow us to make sense of and shape our realities. DNC6 offers an interdisciplinary forum for discussing imaginaries and the discursive construction of old and new (inter)national (dis)orders.

More information can be found on the conference website https://discourseanalysis.net/DNC6 (in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese). 

With kind regards,

The DNC6 organizing committee
