The relation between language and the mediatisation of resistance is
particularly relevant these days in view of the intensification of tensions,
bigotry, and polarization we have been witnessing worldwide. <span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">A well-established body of research indicates that this state of
conflict is partly articulated in media communication. It also shows just how
high the stakes rise when attrition gets commodified. Although media
interaction involves complex and layered power relations, it only exists amidst
constant battles for meaning and contextualization. One can thus say that the
production, circulation and interpretation of media texts are always power-resistance
actions. However, the dynamics of these complementary practices and their
transformation possibilities still demand thorough exploration. Foucault has
taught us that power games are fluid and relational and, as such, are prone to
instability and insubordination. These concerns embody the conference’s focus
on struggles for domination-reversal enhanced by media semiosis. These topics
will be addressed in keynotes by </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Stencil;color:black">Daniel Silva</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> (UFSC, Brazil), </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Stencil;color:black">Deborah Cameron</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black"> (University of
