Meeting Description:

Words as a Battlefield: Persuasion in Contemporary Political and Media
Discourse

In a time of changing political and media landscapes, it is important for
experts across disciplines to gather and examine political discourse,
specifically, what constitutes successful political discourse and how
ideologies are reflected through the languages of media and politics. For this
purpose, a two-day symposium (April 5-6) will be hosted in Maribor, Slovenia,
by the Department of English and American Studies, Faculty of Arts, University
of Maribor.

The theme of the conference encompasses the analysis of persuasive discourse
from different perspectives. We welcome proposals that analyse aspects of
persuasive communication in contemporary political and media discourse. The
conference aims to cover the analysis of a wide range of texts, from mediated
forms of political communication, editorials, speeches, advertisements, social
media and more.


Call for Papers:

We invite specialists from different disciplines: linguistics, pragmatics,
discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, sociology, psychology, media studies,
cultural studies, history, rhetoric, political studies, communication studies,
translation, philosophy, literature, education, legal studies, among others.
This will alow for comparison between the approaches to different forms of
persuasive discourse. By bringing together scholars from different disciplines
around the subject of persuasive communication in the media and politics, we
hope to deliver a lively interaction between disciplines and a constructive
debate. 
The language of the conference will be English. 

Some of the topics of the conference:

- Linguistic approaches to ideological discourse
- Differences between propaganda, public relations and persuasion in the media
- Framing in discourse
- The role of journalism in creating ideological discourse 
- The role of social media in political communication 
- Manifestations, definitions, history and types of hate speech
- Literacy in the media discourse 
- Ideological discourse in fiction 

We cordially invite researchers working in the fields relevant to the main
topics of the conference to submit a short abstract in English of 250 - 300
words (you will find the form for abstract submission in the pre-conference
info on the conference webpage). The deadline for the submission of papers 
will be announced at the conference. All submitted papers will be
peer-reviewed and the authors notified about their acceptance for publication
at a later date.
