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”.
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.

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

Public and political discourses on the matter of inward and outward
migration are of crucial importance, as they are responsible for
framing the issue, and for how, when, and where these issues arrive on
the public / political spectrum (Schain 2008, p.465). As a result such
discourses have substantial influence over the general public’s
attitudes towards migration (McLaren, 2001) and for migrant’s
self-image.
In this interdisciplinary conference, we particularly welcome papers
that address the following:
