We have just published a special issue of the Journal of Language and Politics on Discourse Theory and the Turn to Practice.
The aim of this special issue is to bring together work that advances the post-structuralist discourse-theoretical tradition as a framework for the study of political practice within and beyond the field of politics. It focuses on work inspired by the Essex school of discourse theory (DT) but takes an explicitly open approach to this and sees the interdisciplinary dialogue between DT and different strands of discourse studies and other approaches to power and ideology across disciplines as a precondition for the strengthening of DT as a sharp and useful discursive framework for the study of contemporary political practices in the broad sense.
