Call for proposals 

Criminal syndicates are part of globalization, as they expand their activities
across borders and export criminal models to other countries (Allum 2013).
Since globalization entails crossing national, cultural and linguistic
boundaries, it necessarily implies a linguistic dimension (Fairclough 2007;
Wodak et al. 1999). In this respect, English as a lingua franca plays an
important role in the media landscape as it serves as a global platform for
world audiences. In spite of this, little attention has been devoted to the
way national crime syndicates are discursively represented and
recontextualised in English (Allum et al. 2010; Machin and Mayr 2013; Caliendo
et al. 2016). 

The special issue ''The Discursive Representation of Globalised Organised
Crime: Crossing Borders of Languages and Cultures'' intends to bring together
different theoretical orientations inspired by linguistics, (critical)
discourse studies, political discourse and translation studies in order to
provide corpus-assisted analyses in different types of media, genres and
formats (e.g. print media, documentary and feature movies, TV and digital
supports). Such genres bring criminal organizations with foreign origins (such
as the Italian mafias and South American drug cartels, amongst others) to a
global audience in English, raising awareness about their globalizing reach
and about the need to harmonise legal definitions of mafia-related crimes
across the EU.
