[Cadaad] CADAAD 2022 - CFP

[Laura Filardo-Llamas]

We are pleased to announce that the *9th conference of the Critical 
Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines (CADAAD)*, jointly 
organized by the University of Bergamo and Birmingham City University, 
will take place *from 6-8 July 2021* and will be hosted by the 
University of Bergamo, Italy.

CADAAD conferences are intended to promote current directions and new 
developments in cross-disciplinary critical discourse research from a 
critical-analytical perspective, deal with contemporary social, 
scientific, political, economic, or professional discourses and genres. 
Whilst we hope to receive abstracts across the usual wide range of 
topics and approaches, we also invite scholars to present papers and 
posters that that engage with this year’s conference theme: /(Critical) 
Discourse Analysis and the (new?) normal/.
Norms, normalities, and normativities have undoubtedly been disturbed in 
recent years. Though ‘normal’ is a local, subjective, and fluid concept, 
norms are fundamental to collective endeavour and social practices and 
have important implications for ideology, power, and, of course, the 
construction of meaning in discourse. Equally, the destabilisation or 
disruption of norms gives rise to contestation over shared social values 
and normativities, as well as opportunities to galvanise new ways of 
being. The need for contemporary discourses to adjust to rapidly 
changing norms makes this an area of particular interest for (critical) 
discourse analysis.

*Submission*

CADAAD2022 welcomes paper, poster, and panel proposals that engage in 
cross-disciplinary critical discourse research and/or that respond in 
some way to the conference theme *Discourse Analysis and the (new?) 
normal. *Alongside submissions engaging with *methodological traditions, 
advances in (C)DS and the theoretical handling of ‘normativity’ in (C)DS 
research, *we invite work in discourse analysis across any discipline to 
explore topics and perspectives including, but not limited to:

• Colonialism
• Corporate and organisational communication
• Culture, cultural studies, and cultural promotion
• Education
• Environment and environmentalism
• Extremism and radicalisation
• Health
• Identity (gender, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity/race, etc.)
• News and (social) media analysis
• Politics
• (post-)pandemic life - what, if anything, has changed?
• Protest
• Queer studies

There will be a series of *plenary lectures* at the conference from 
prominent researchers in the field which will be confirmed soon.

Apart from individual submissions, panel proposals of three or more 
papers with a clear and coherent topic/programme are also welcome. If 
you are interested in proposing a panel, please contact the conference 
organisers: cadaad.conference at gmail.com
Abstracts of *papers *(up to 4000 characters excluding references) and 
*posters *(up to 2000 characters excluding references) should be 
submitted via _the conference webpage_ (www.cadaad.info) *by* *17 
December 2021 08:00 CET. *Abstracts should include research questions, a 
brief outline of methodology and analytical methods, and any theoretical 
issues addressed, as well describing the data analysed. All papers will
