Call summary: Languaging Diversity 4 Discourse and Diversity in the Global City (28-30 Sept 2018) Discourses in/of/about the city vibrantly conceptualize, narrate and imagine the past, present and future of a city and its citizens. The city's status, character, spirit and image are constantly imagined, reproduced and framed in private and public communication. In urban discourse languages, identities and subcultures meet, as old and new inhabitants interact with temporary visitors and guests.
In photography, the lens of a camera can be tilted and shifted to create new perspectives. Using discourse analysis as a lens enables us to gain new perspectives on the social world and generate new insights into influences and changes in a range of social phenomena. Discourse analysis encompasses a diverse range of analytical techniques and draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological perspectives. Through an examination of talk, text and associated social practices, issues of identity, agency, structure, representation, power and practice can be addressed.
