Conference

During DN35, we want to reflect on (neo)authoritarianism today, its role in public discourse, and its impact on contemporary politics. We want to map the discursive construction of the (neo)authoritarian appeal across the Global North and South, and the ways in which they can be counteracted. We welcome a wide range of methodologies and approaches to researching these issues, including critical political, psychological, and post-structuralist discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and rhetorical analysis.
