Meeting Description:

ADDA 4 - Contemporary Societies in Digital Discourse

The 4th Approaches to Digital Discourse Analysis Conference (ADDA 4) will be
held at the campus of the University of Klagenfurt (Austria). 

The theme of this ADDA conference is ''Contemporary Societies in Digital
Discourses''. The focus lies on identities in digital discourses in light of
individualization, singularization, but also (anti-)globalization,
interconnectedness, social changes, tensions, and crises.

ADDA aims to bring together (early career and experienced) researchers
interested in the analysis of digital discourse(s) from different disciplines,
approaches, and traditions. Thus, it seeks to foster state-of-the-art debates
and discussions on this burgeoning field of research and to provide
opportunities for inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary research and critical
reflection.

2nd Call for Papers:

Recent events such as the COVID-19 epidemic, the Russia-Ukraine war and the
violent challenges to the very foundations of democracies such as the USA
(2016) and Brasil (2023) have raised questions about how shared or competing
national identities are negotiated. Challenges to globalization and to
supra-national organizations such as the EU have led to the potential
rebordering and redefinition of national/local identities in the name, and
under the impulse, of populism. Such questions and challenges are brought into
sharp focus in the environment of social media, whose digital affordances
often induce users to align themselves along polarized identities in which
their emotional attachment to a nation (whether their own nation and/or the
nation they support in a conflict) is continually foregrounded. 
This panel intends to address how discourses of the nation are constructed on
social media through their digital affordances. Topics may include, but are by
no means limited to, the following:

The construction of national identity discourses through the range of semiotic
affordances of social media, e.g. how multimodal resources allow, or even
induce, the flagging of one’s own sense of national identity and build
“ambient affiliation”;
‘Flagging the nation’, or how national flags and other signifiers are used to
signal support of certain nations, causes and national identities;
Showing stance via emoji use in supporting and/or contesting national
identities.
Abstracts addressing data from social media platforms (e.g. Twitter, Facebook,
Instagram, Tiktok, Reddit, discussion fora, etc.) and digital affordances such
as flags, memes, emojis, gifs, pictures, reels are all welcome.

Please send your proposed abstract (maximum 350 words, with title, name(s) and
affiliation(s)) to Massimiliano Demata (massimiliano.demata at unito.it) and
Marlene Miglbauer (marlene.miglbauer at virtuelle-ph.at) by 20 February 2023.
This is only a preliminary process, and official submission of abstracts
through the conference website will be possible after the official acceptance
of the panel.
