Full Title: Textes et Contextes 


Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 10-Nov-2010 

Call for papers: 
Issue number 6 of online journal Textes et Contextes 
(Centre Interlangues, University of Burgundy)

Authoritarian discourse(s) and resistance in the twentieth century

Issue number 6 of Textes et Contextes (edited by EA 4182, Centre 
Interlangues, University of Burgundy) intends to reflect on the types of 
discourse produced or imposed by totalitarian and, more generally, 
authoritarian regimes or by a dominant central power over its colonies, its 
regions or its periphery. The issue will concentrate on the twentieth century 
without any geographical limitation. Discourse is considered as a political tool 
in the service of power.  Aspects which can be studied are its use and its 
rhetoric as well as phenomena of propaganda linked to official discourse, of 
manipulation, of censorship, of self-censorship, etc.
It can be suggested that authoritarian regimes also generate forms of 
resistance, simultaneously with, and as a consequence of, authoritarian 
discourse. Studies about the link between oppression and resistance in 
Germany, Italy and France have shown that 'oppressive or occupation 
regimes in Europe during the Second World War and their opponents belong 
to the same world' because they are born from the same culture, the same 
state structures, the same social world and the same geostrategic world . 
Papers dealing with the spaces of freedom offered by the forms of resistance 
born in authoritarian contexts, with their dynamics, with the modalities 
through which they escape authority/authoritarianism (exile, creation, 
subversive forms of language, affirmation of individual or regional history to 
counter official history...) will be welcome.
Part of the volume will be devoted to the forms taken by propaganda and/or 
resistance in artistic creation (literature, painting, cinema...). Aspects which 
could be examined in this perspective include the notion of democracy (or its 
absence) within artistic forms, the relationships built up between the author 
(authority?) and the reader/spectator/viewer, the forms of persuasion used by 
artists and the reader/spectator/viewer's  margin of freedom (of resistance?). 
In the particular instance of the novel, the works in which Nelly Wolf 
examines the relationships between literature and politics (Le roman de la 
démocratie, 2003) could provide useful tools for analysis. Wolf, considering 
that there exists an analogy between the novel and the principles on which 
modern democracy is based, coined phrases like 'the contractual novel' or 
'the novel as democracy'; such notions could offer fruitful ground for study. 
Following such analyses, papers could examine either how art produced in 
democratic contexts can become a form of authoritarian discourse or, 
conversely, how art born in authoritarian contexts and constrained by 
censorship manages to create internal democracy and therefore a form of 
resistance.
