Subject: research stay

Dear list members,

first of all, apologies for cross-posting.

I am a PhD student at the University of A Coruña, Spain, looking for a university (in any country, less Spain) in order to do a research stay of three months.

My research concerns the examination of business discourse. Specifically, I am concentrating on the discourse of Corporate Social Responsibility in the garment industry. I have a critical, interpretative approach to the analysis of this discourse, looking for relations of power, persuasion, ideology…

If anybody is aware of a university/department/professor working in something similar and with the possibility to receive a PhD student, please let me know.

Thanks a lot,

Best,


Catharina Müller

Subject: creating a list on ethnographic foundations

With apologies for cross-postings...

Hi all,
  I am in an English Department currently under the title of Applied
Linguist--there are two of us with this title among a sea of Creative
Writers, Literature specialists, Rhetoric and Composition specialists, and
one Folklorist.
  We have been asked to put together an "Ethnography" exam, that should
encompass the ethnographic foundations of Folklore, Rhet-Comp, and
Sociolinguistics/LingAnth/Applied Linguistics.  I've got a list started:
Hymes, Gumperz, Rampton, Blommaert, Eckert, but am wondering if any of you
kind folks could help me with any readings that you find essential for
demonstrating ethnographic methods as applied to the social study of
language?
  All help will be appreciated, and I will be glad to produce a list and
provide it back to the group once I've collected your recommendations.
  Thanks a lot,
  Lauren Zentz
