Meeting Description:

Digital technologies have given rise to a host of new ways for people to
communicate, manage social relationships and perform identities. Within a
paradigmatically new discursive mode theorised as Social Media Communication
(SMC), (KhosraviNik 2017, 2019), various established and emerging digital
affordances and communication technologies keep impacting the content, style
and characteristics discourses, by blurring the traditional boundaries across
work-play, public-private, political-personal, politics-citizenship,
entertainment-news, etc. 

The very open and dynamic complexity of Social Media Communicated discursive
life-worlds has been challenging the existing theories, methods and analytical
techniques while providing unprecedented opportunities for research on
bottom-up social data in enormous volume, velocity and variety. Therefore, it
is high time for Critical Discourse Studies to engage with this new context
meaningfully and tackle some of the theoretical and methodological challenges
thorough case studies of various digital discourses. 

The present panel builds on the general theme of the conference ‘Reconciling
Rigour and Context in CDA’ by proposing a focus on discursive practices
regimented through/via a Social Media Communication paradigm. The panel seeks
to engage with questions such as: a) In what sort of adaptations can the
traditions in Critical Discursive Studies contribute to an in-depth study of
the new social media discourses and digital practices? b) How can Critical
Discursive Approaches respond to the epistemological and technical challenges
of digital discourses around its core disciplinary rigour?


Call for Papers:

We invite submission of abstracts for a panel entitled Discourse in the
Digital Age: Rigour and Context across Emerging Discourses on Digital
