[I-LanD Research Centre] International Symposium: "Reassessing the Critical in CDS" (March 21-22, 2023)

[I-LanD Interuniversity Research Centre]

Dear colleagues,

In 1991, Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) was launched as a scholarly research project when scholars including Norman Fairclough, Teun A. van Dijk, Theo van Leeuwen, Ruth Wodak, among others, gathered to outline ways of doing discourse-analytical research with a view to unraveling how opaque ideological beliefs penetrate public text and talk, ending up (re)producing power inequalities and problems in societies.

More than thirty years later, the Symposium Reassessing the Critical in CDS brings together CDS scholars to reflect on 'hot topics' related to the approach. These include reflections on CDS as an institutional(ised) field within the structures of modern neoliberal academia, the role of immanent or prognostic critique and separation of CDS from Discourse Studies, self-reflection and positioning in global applications of CDS, among other aspects.

The Symposium will take place on 21 and 22 March 2023 in Lugano, Switzerland, hosted by the Università della Svizzera Italiana. The symposium will be live-streamed and online participation will be encouraged.
