Meeting Description:

Workshop (20-21 October 2016):

Political Discourse and the Extremes in the Romance Speaking Countries:
linguistics and social science perspectives

For this second workshop − within the main research project Political
discourse in the Romance speaking countries: linguistics and social science
perspectives (ROMPOL) − our group has chosen the theme Political Discourse and
the Extremes. Whereas the main focus during the first workshop was on
political debates in the oral media, this second edition will include any form
of texts carrying political messages: news media, blogs, pamphlets,
contemporary fictional or non-fictional works, social media sites, etc. The
intention is also to further explore the following related themes: 

- Populist political discourse and its different manifestations in Romance
speaking countries in Europe as well as in Latin America
- Identities, racism and discrimination
- Ideologies and religions

Our intention is to use linguistic as well as social and historical
perspectives and involve scholars from various fields in the humanities and
the social sciences. Our main research idea is based on the assumption that
knowledge and understanding of political discourse is best achieved with an
interdisciplinary stance, through collaboration between the disciplines of
linguistics and social sciences.

our invitation):
