<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Instances of civil disorder in the form of riots, strikes and protests have become increasingly frequent in response to economic decline and other structural conditions, in the UK, Europe
and globally. Far from political apathy, these activities suggest increased levels of public concern and civic engagement. We see such forms of engagement, as well as media coverage and government responses, as part of a political process which contains
a significant discursive dimension. Discourse plays a fundamental part in defining agendas, voicing objections, framing debates, legitimating or delegitimating actions, and in formulating policies. We therefore understand the discursive practices of social
movements, the media and policy-makers, as political practices. Understanding the complexities of this political process and the discursive dimensions involved requires a multidisciplinary approach addressing issues of language, image, journalism, media, power
and political economy. In so far as media and discourse research each provide insights into our understanding of social, historical, political and economic contexts and conflicts, the symposium will be of interest for scholars concerned more broadly with semiotics
and social practice. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">From a multidisciplinary perspective, this two-day symposium seeks to explore the discourses of social movements, the media and policy makers, the relations between them, and the role
they play in the political process. Papers presenting perspectives from Social Movement Studies, Media and Journalism Studies, as well as Critical (Multimodal) Discourse Studies are particularly welcome. We are interested in papers which explore, within
international social and political settings, the discursive dimensions of disorder representing or responding to a range of causes/contexts which might include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
