Meeting Description:

Media not only reflect but also reinforce dominant ideologies and power
relations in our everyday life. They play an increasingly important role in
the construction and communication of ideas and beliefs in the contemporary
mediatized world. The continually changing mediascape poses challenges to the
examination of media discourses, from theoretical and methodological
considerations to the intersections of discourse, media, power and ideologies.
CAMD2020 aims to re-envision criticality in media discourse analytic work and
stimulate dialogue and reflection of various critical approaches to the
analysis of language in the media. We welcome researchers from across
disciplines, whose work spans a wide range of topics, contexts and traditions
of discourse studies.
