<p>We are pleased to announce that the <b>9th conference of the
Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines
(CADAAD)</b>, jointly organized by the University of Bergamo and
Birmingham City University, will take place <b>from 6-8 July 2021</b>
and will be hosted by the University of Bergamo, Italy.</p>
<p>CADAAD conferences are intended to promote current directions and
new developments in cross-disciplinary critical discourse research
from a critical-analytical perspective, deal with contemporary
social, scientific, political, economic, or professional
discourses and genres. Whilst we hope to receive abstracts across
the usual wide range of topics and approaches, we also invite
scholars to present papers and posters that that engage with this
year’s conference theme: <i>(Critical) Discourse Analysis and the
(new?) normal</i>.<br>
Norms, normalities, and normativities have undoubtedly been
disturbed in recent years. Though ‘normal’ is a local, subjective,
and fluid concept, norms are fundamental to collective endeavour
and social practices and have important implications for ideology,
power, and, of course, the construction of meaning in discourse.
Equally, the destabilisation or disruption of norms gives rise to
contestation over shared social values and normativities, as well
as opportunities to galvanise new ways of being. The need for
contemporary discourses to adjust to rapidly changing norms makes
this an area of particular interest for (critical) discourse
analysis.</p>
<p><b>Submission</b></p>
<p>CADAAD2022 welcomes paper, poster, and panel proposals that
engage in cross-disciplinary critical discourse research and/or
that respond in some way to the conference theme <b>Discourse
Analysis and the (new?) normal. </b>Alongside submissions
engaging with <b>methodological traditions, advances in (C)DS and
the theoretical handling of ‘normativity’ in (C)DS research, </b>we
invite work in discourse analysis across any discipline to explore
topics and perspectives including, but not limited to:</p>
<p>• Colonialism<br>
• Corporate and organisational communication<br>
• Culture, cultural studies, and cultural promotion<br>
• Education<br>
• Environment and environmentalism<br>
• Extremism and radicalisation<br>
• Health<br>
• Identity (gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity/race, etc.)<br>
• News and (social) media analysis<br>
• Politics<br>
• (post-)pandemic life - what, if anything, has changed?<br>
• Protest<br>
• Queer studies</p>
<p>There will be a series of <b>plenary lectures</b> at the
conference from prominent researchers in the field which will be
confirmed soon.</p>
<p>Apart from individual submissions, panel proposals of three or
more papers with a clear and coherent topic/programme are also
welcome. If you are interested in proposing a panel, please
