5th New Zealand Discourse Conference (NZDC5)

Submissions are invited for the 5th New Zealand Discourse Conference from academics and others interested in discourse analysis that addresses theoretical, methodological or empirical research in a variety of applications.

Given the increasing use of discourse analysis in many disciplines submissions are not limited to any one particular theme. However some of the areas that have been included in our previous conferences include:

CADAAD 2016 Panel: Discourse Space and Evaluation across Disciplines and Domains

We invite abstracts to contribute to the panel on Discourse Space and Evaluation across Disciplines and Domains. In this panel we want to build on recent developments in Discourse Space Theory (DST) and its application to the study of evaluative discourse (e.g. Chilton 2014; Filardo-Llamas et al. 2015). The aim of this panel is to explore different ways of doing DA for understanding the relationship between discourse, subjectivity, intentionality and social action. The opanel will include much time for discussion.
Deadline for submission 10 nov. 2015!

Discursive Pathologies: Notions of Health and Illness from the 19th through the 21st Century

In Feminist Practice and Poststructuralist Theory, Chris Weedon interprets Foucauldian discourse as “more than ways of thinking and producing meaning. They constitute the 'nature' of the body, unconscious and conscious mind and emotional life of the subjects they seek to govern”.

Language, Discourse and Mass Media (GT2)

Los medios de comunicación cumplen un rol destacado en la producción y circulación de discursos. Estos discursos, por su alcance espacial y temporal, ayudan a la conformación de opiniones, actitudes, ideologías y representaciones socioculturales que -en cierta medida- median nuestra interpretación de la realidad social. En este sentido, el estudio del lenguaje verbal (y de otros lenguajes no-verbales) en los medios de comunicación es de especial interés a varias disciplinas sociales y críticas.

17th International Workshop on Discourse Studies: Critique and Decolonization

During the twentieth century, the critical turn in discourse studies produced far-reaching changes in the understanding of discourse and in the models used to analyse it. Discourse ceased to be considered an imperfect representation tool, and was recognized as having an essential role in the construction of the social, political and economic reality. Social and human sciences have progressively integrated the contributions of the critical turn into the history of thought.

11th Essex Conference in Critical Political Theory: Global challenges - New imaginaries. Image, Voice, and Radical Democracy

Few doubt, today, that we face a series of connected global challenges: the dangers of climate change and environmental degradation; a crisis of international finance and global capitalism; an ever-increasing logic of minoritization, which threatens to fragment communities and societies; greater social and economic inequalities, both nationally and globally; the intensification of various forms of religious belief, including fundamentalism, alongside a growing secularization of communities and societies; securitization of society, and a palpable disillusionment with politics and politicians
