Critical Approaches to Discourse Analysis Across Disciplines (CADAAD). Second International Conference CADAAD'08 at the University of Hertfordshire, 10-11 July 2008.

Conference homepage: http://www.cadaad.org/cadaad08/cfp.



Call for papers for a session stream "Risk as Discourse".



In public and academic discourse risk gained ground in the last decades. Many sociologists believe that risk has become the core category to understand social reproduction and change (Beck 1992; Giddens 1991). However, there are still major debates about the characteristics of risk as a social semantic and how risk occupies a position as a social "master-discourse".

This session invites papers from linguistics researchers, sociologists and other social scientists who examine the semantic of risk, how risk discourse takes place in different social domains and how it developed historically. Contributions which reflect on the ideological character of risk are particularly welcome.



Please send abstracts no longer than 400 words by end of November 2007 to j.zinn at kent.ac.uk
