Conference

It is our pleasure at Linköping University, Sweden, to host NORDISCO 2012, the second Nordic and Baltic interdisciplinary conference on discourse and interaction on 21-23 November 2012. It is our hope that this conference will give rise to creative synergies and facilitate new networks, crossing both geographical and disciplinary borders.

The panel is part of the fifth international conference Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis across Disciplines (CADAAD) which will take place at ELTE (Loránd Eötvös University) in Budapest, Hungary, 1-3 September 2014.

The music panel will explore the broad area of music and discourse from a critical-analytical perspective. Papers may wish to explore (but are not limited to) discourses in music in the areas of:

Discourse Power Resistance
DPR is an annual international conference that has been held each Spring since 2002. The conferences began with a focus on the social, economic, political and cultural forces that shape education policy and practice world-wide. Over the years this broad focus has been maintained; but what has established the international reputation of DPR has been the on-going critical analysis of issues of social justice, and the commitment to enable silenced and marginalized voices to be heard: discourse, power, resistance.

Hybridity and the News: Hybrid Forms of Journalism in the 21st Century

Recent years have witnessed major critical reappraisals of British Cultural Studies and its key figures. This one-day conference, organised by the Greater Manchester-based Radical Studies Network, continues that process through assessment of Raymond Williams’ work and legacy.

The event will feature a keynote lecture from Professor Tony Crowley. Artist Ruth Beale will present a film of her 30-minute performance, ‘Performing Keywords’, first performed at the Turner Contemporary, 2013. The day will conclude with a round-table discussion on Raymond Williams and the contemporary Left.

In the wake of the international symposia at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in 1997, 2002 and 2008, and so many other important events organized by several Brazilian and foreign research teams which consolidate Discourse Analysis as a discipline, the IV International Symposium on Discourse Analysis, an initiative of the Discourse Analysis Nucleus (NAD) of the Faculty of Language and Literature of the Federal University of Minas Gerais, intends once more to be a space for debates and discussions between Brazilian and foreign professors, researchers, undergraduate and post-graduate

Criticality in Education (Research):
Definitions, Discourses and Controversies

“I and my public understand each other very well: It does not hear what I say, and I don’t say what it wants to hear.” (Karl Kraus)

“A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.”
(Confucius, The Analects, Ch. 14)

Since the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom and the rise of Trump, Orbán and Le Pen, to name but a few, ‘populism’ has re-emerged as a common keyword in international news coverage. This term has become highly contested, often used to stigmatise political opponents. The current conflation of new right-wing politics with ‘populism’ backgrounds leftist mass movements such as Syriza in Greece and Podemos in Spain, despite a rich history of left wing populism.

The Postgraduate Winter School Language for Communication: Research Perspective is a three to-five-day event for individuals or groups organised by the University of Latvia, Riga (Latvia) in cooperation with the Field Committee of Linguistics of Discourse of International Committee of Slavists (Belarusian & Polish branch of the Field Committee), and international academic project D-ART (Germany).
