Conference

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Theory, Culture & Politics at Trent University, TCP will hold a graduate student conference with the theme: Technology/Politics.

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:

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!

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.

The Discourse of German Nationalism and Anti-Semitism 1871-1924

CALL FOR PAPERS: The Historical Discourse Working Group would like to announce its first international conference

English and German Nationalist and anti-Semitic Discourse

to be held at Queen Mary, University of London on 10-11 September 2010.

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.

Deadline: 15.12.2011
