Panel: Emotions in Digital Discourses – Textual and Multimodal Perspectives

Panel organisers: Michael Wentker (Bielefeld University), Carolin Schneider
(Utrecht University), Birte Bös (University of Duisburg-Essen)

Panel abstract: 
Emotions and their expression are a core component of human experience and
interaction. It is therefore hardly surprising that they have captured the
interest of researchers from a broad range of disciplines including
anthropology, psychology, sociology, linguistics and many others. This panel
aims to serve as a platform for state-of-the-art emotion research exploring
textual and multimodal manifestations of emotions and processes of
emotionalization in digital discourses. The digital realm has not only opened
up a broad array of new platforms, modes and genres where emotions can be
expressed via a multitude of semiotic resources, it has also blurred the
boundaries between private and public. Subjective feelings of anonymity and
intimacy often encourage private disclosure, and digital Communities of
Practice emerge as participants bond over multi-faceted emotional experiences.
Emotionalization strategies can also be used as ‘click bait’ by content
creators to pursue societal or interpersonal aims in specific target
audiences. This panel thus focuses on the linguistic and other semiotic
resources and interpersonal functions of emotions in digital settings, their
mutual negotiation among homo- or heterogeneous audiences from diverse
cultures, and the research methodologies with which these are examined in
current research.

We invite contributions considering any of the following and/or related
aspects:
- inventory of semiotic resources of expressing emotions and their interplay
in the digital realm
- language about and language as emotion (i.e., 'emotion talk' and 'emotional
talk')
- metapragmatic negotiations of expressions of emotions
- universality or cultural specificity of emotions in digital discourses  
- role of lived emotional experience and self-disclosure in digital settings
- socio-technical affordances of digital modes and their impact on the
expression of emotions
- methodological approaches in emotion research on digital data

If you wish to contribute to our panel, please get in touch with Michael
Wentker (michael.wentker at uni-bielefeld.de) by February 19, 2023 and indicate
your interest. In your email, please include the full names of all authors and
their respective institutions as well as the provisional title of your paper. 

Note: At this stage we ask for a very brief description of your research. The
deadline for abstract submissions is April 30, 2023.
