The discourse seminar: power, truth, critique

The Discourse Seminar 

Are you interested in the study of discourse? This online seminar is run by and for graduate students and early-career researchers who want to develop their discourse research projects. We started in fall 2024 and our discussions centred on the question of truth and critique.

In this new cycle, we will build on these discussions and focus on the question of power, truth and critique. The core group consists of Irene Ktori, Michael Schmidlehner, Thiago Augusto Pereira, Adel Tayebi, Johannes Angermuller. Members of the group work on ideas such as the discursive construction of technology (Adel), family policies (Irene) truth and post-truth discourse (Johannes), environment and psychoanalysis (Michael), right-wing book publishers (Thiago).

The two starter meetings have taken place on the 19th of September 2025  (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DrxiVy97sonNLrmnd8kXqHP2GKSyJXHd) and on the 26th (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S2p5M9TBsobMufjvIC7nfkzEbDf-sIGS&authuser=0).
