Description:

A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in Slavic studies is available at
the Department of Literature, Area Studies and European Languages, University
of Oslo.

Applicants are invited to submit a project proposal for a doctoral
dissertation related to the following research topic: figurative language and
its role in crisis understanding and management.

The successful applicant is expected to examine the role and impact of verbal
or multimodal figurative devices in precarious situations experienced by
individuals and societies; that is, in situations of individual or collective
threats and crises (e.g., climate change, environmental issues, humanitarian
issues, pandemics, and/or socioeconomic distress). The topics dealt with may
include the role of figurative language in creating crisis narratives, its
impact on individual or collective understanding of crisis situations and
coping with them, its impact on emotions and individual and collective
decisions on how to act, and the impact of figurative language on individual
and collective acceptance or rejection of certain measures.

The successful applicant must develop and present an independent subproject
that lies within the scope of the parameters above. He or she is expected to
address the effect of figurative language on people’s emotions, actions, and
behavior, focusing on one or a few figurative devices. The empirical material
examined may be verbal, multimodal, visual, or a combination of these. A
comparative perspective (with at least one Slavic language or culture
included) and proposals combining research methods (e.g., a
discourse-analytical approach with focus groups, surveys, or psychological
experiments) are encouraged.
