Meeting Description:

After the treatment of Extreme discourses during Rompol’s second workshop and
in the forthcoming anthology, Political Discourses and the Extremes.
Expression of populism in the Romance Speaking Countries, our research group
aims to focus on identity discourses and discourses of belonging vs
not-belonging. The main theme of this third Rompol workshop will embrace how
political groups, migrant communities and minorities are represented in actual
political discourses, where questions regarding inclusion versus exclusion are
omnipresent. The workshop’s overall aim is to link these discursive
representations of identities with socio-cultural factors that constitute the
context of specific communicative events or discursive moments (cf “moments
discursifs” (Moirand 2007). Our questioning has its origin in the present
political situation in Europe, more specifically in the European integration
vs desintegration processes and the shaping of public opinion and political
discourse across the national and transnational borders. 

   Beyond this macro-context, our objective is to investigate how voices who
have emerged from varying “crisis” during the last decade  ̶  the European
migrant crisis, the Brexit, or Catalonia’s will of independence, etc. ̶  are
represented in the public political discourses. 

   A third object of investigation is what Paveau (2017) calls “les discours
des locuteurs vulnérables” (the Vulnerables’ discourses) or what Ducard & al
(2017) name “les discours sans voix” (Discourses without Voices) as well as
Rabatel’s (2016) “les discours des invisibles” (the Invisibles’ discourses),
that is to say discourses coming from “private” speakers or groups who usually
do not express themselves in the public sphere and/or who live on the margins
of society. We are interested in knowing how their words are conveyed and
represented in official discourses (media- and political discourses) or which
nominations are used by the politicians to refer to them.

Identity Discourses and Discourses of Belonging vs Not-Belonging in Romance
Speaking Countries

We encourage papers that raise questions regarding the ongoing political
processes of inclusion and exclusion just mentioned above as well as the
following research questions: 

- By which linguistic means are different identities − national, gendered,
ethnic, etc. − represented in the public mediated political discourse? 
- How are tensions between the opposing sides in discourses of inclusion vs
exclusion textually represented? 
- How are relations of power engendered discursively and how well do
discourses’ agency (transitivity, passive constructions, etc.) map the
interplay between dominant and subdued social groups in society. 
- What social discourses − history, ethnicity, language, etc. − constitute the
basis for the representation of identities in different political narratives? 
- What societal, socio-linguistic and socio-pragmatic phenomena may contribute
to different representation of identities in different Romance speaking
countries?
- Are there any differences of identity representation between different
cultural and political communities within similar discursive activities
(political debate, parliamentary discourse) or in mediated texts that refer to
the same communicative event (press, audio-visual media, blogs)? And if so,
what elements contribute to these differences?
