Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis 

Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

Migration phenomena are questioning the way to conceive territories and
relations with populations. The two elements are not fixed, neither in time,
nor space; they can be modified and they are evolving with their own
definitions and with the way we are constantly considering them. The identity
of a territory and its inhabitants are facing new characteristics, new
delimitations, that have to consider the past as a whole. With publication, we
would like to deal with migrations and the way they are understood and treated
as identity political discourses.

The recent news in the media and political agendas, regarding countries and
conflicts in Syria, Libya or Iraq are putting under the spot the question of
refugees and more broadly migrants. The move of populations for their lives,
their safety or economical survival carries numbers and images quite shocking.
Europe is facing a huge “migration crisis”. Humanitarian situation is an
emergency. The migrants are “flooding” through Greece, Hungary, Serbia,
Croatia, Romania… when Austria, Germany and Hungary are “reinstituting borders
controls”. We are talking about “camps” to be created, “walls” to be built.

Major changes seem to operate in the hosting countries where we can state the
growth of nationalism with violent reactions related to the feeling of
insecurity, fear or national preference. Xenophobic acts are often
perpetrated.  Locations to host migrants are sometimes dismantled or
criticized. Refugees’ centers were burnt in Germany or France.

Thus we can ask ourselves how to deal the topics related to migration trough
the lens of discourse analysis in general. What does the discourse analyst
have to bring to the understanding of these historic, geographical,
sociological, ethnological and anthropological phenomena? What are the tools
to think and consider the move and reception in the media and political
narratives? For example, we think about analysis dealing the notions of event,
memory, circulation, interdiscourse, heterogeneity, or interaction. Then, what
are the specific linguistic, typological or stereotypical discourses on
migration? How can we analyze the discourse on migration that is sometimes
different locally and globally (difference of perspectives)? But also, how can
we understand the discourse of rejection, violence and immobility? How can we
grasp the discourses of national or international readjustments, as well as
political, cultural and identity justifications? How are the events related to
migrations in the media and political discourses treated and described?

These questions will help us draw a state of art from the inside and the
outside of national spaces and more broadly nourish the reflection of
discourse studies on societies. We are conceiving that political spaces are
mental spaces in individual ecosystems.

Key words:
Discourses of societies, political and media discourse, migration, territory,
refugees, power and space, cultural ecology, (cross-)identity relation

Call for Papers:

We are inviting contributions from political discourse analysis (in general)
and media discourse analysis (with no limitation regarding the type of media),
in an intercultural perspective or on a focus study on a nation or an area in
particular, on global migration phenomena or on some more specific aspects.
The collection of these articles will target to question deeply the
sociodiscursive analysis on migrations in an international dimension.
