Call for Papers:

Deadline Extension (31 May 2019) of CFP for Special Issue of AION LINGUISTICA
on ''Representing, Disseminating, and Debating Controversial Bioethical Issues
in Popularised Discourse''

This special issue focuses on the linguistic and discursive aspects of the
dissemination of knowledge about sensitive and hitherto unforeseen bioethical
issues, an area at the intersection between scientific discourse (e.g.
medicine, biotechnology, genetics, environmental sciences) and other forms of
specialised and professional legal, economic, political, religious discourse. 

The dissemination of bioethical knowledge is accomplished by means of various
genres and channels that range from highly specialised and inter-specialistic
to those addressed to the general public. Popularising genres are of
particular interest, for they enable practitioners' and participants'
ideological stances regarding innovative and controversial decisions and
practices to be communicated, and supported or opposed, in an accessible
manner. Therefore, it is all the more essential for research to detect all
possible linguistic alterations leading to inaccuracies, especially when they
involve ideological manipulation or slant be detected and disclosed, and
identify the transformations undergone by bioethically relevant knowledge in
the dissemination process by institutions, professions, organisations and
corporations.

Contributions taking any approach in linguistics and discourse analysis
(Genres and register analysis, Critical discourse analysis, Communication and
media language studies, Integrated corpus assisted discourse analysis,
Argumentation theory and rhetoric) are welcome.

Possible areas of qualitative and quantitative inquiry include - but are not
limited - to:
- Linguistic and discursive transformations and popularised translations
undergone by sensitive knowledge in the dissemination process 
- Interdiscursivity and genre hybridization in popular, journalistic and
corporate communication about controversial bioethical issues (e.g. surrogacy,
abortion, genetic manipulation, cloning, cryopreservation)
- Traditional and online new(s) media coverage of bioethical issues and high
profile cases (e.g. euthanasia, Artificial Reproduction Technologies,
performance enhancement in medicine and sports)
- Discursive construction, in professional guidelines and in professional
discourse, of the four principles (Autonomy, Beneficence, Non-maleficence,
Justice), originally introduced by Beauchamp and Childress (1979/2001) that
still predominate - at least professedly - in medical ethics 
- Representation and support of controversial bioethical themes pertaining to
the domains of medicine, genetics and biotechnology in popularised texts and
commercial websites 
- Bioethical themes within sustainability and environment conservation
discourses (e.g. agrobiotechnologies, animal rights and protection, protection
of the environment)
- Presentation and implementation of reflections and decisions on bioethics in
specialised medical, military and pharmaceutical discourse communities
