Dear colleagues:

We would like to invite paper submissions for our Panel "Doing Policy Analysis with SKAD" (p22) at 10th Interpretive Policy Conference in Lille, 8-10 July. Please find the CfP below and attached to this message.
Paper proposals can only be submitted via the conference’s website (http://ipa2015.sciencesconf.org/). Please send us an e-mail when you submit your proposal. Full papers will be due on 1 June 2015.

The Conference seeks to examine issues in the ongoing construction of European identity, including notions of diversity and (physical and symbolic) borders. It will focus on critical investigations that draw on discourse theory or bottom-up textual analysis to investigate these topics from the following perspectives:

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.
