Meeting Description:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 sent shockwaves around the
globe. In response to the aggression, many governments, politicians and
ordinary citizens made efforts to aid the people of Ukraine and called for a
restoration of peace. Seven months on, there is no end in sight for the war,
and many social actors are stepping up their efforts to achieve a peaceful
solution to the crisis. As the war unfolds, it receives extensive media
coverage, including frontline reports and eyewitness accounts. Parallel to
this, social media are awash in pictures, videos and satellite images of
war-stricken areas, and abuzz with comments and discussions which articulate
anti-war stances. At the same time, social media platforms are used to spread
propaganda and misinformation, which has turned the Russia-Ukraine conflict
into a fully-blown social media war.

Our session aims to bring together linguists, discourse analysts and
communication scholars exploring various facets of discourses on/of war and
war-related communication. The session is conceived as a discussion forum for
participants who
apply various analytical models and who adopt diverse research perspectives,
including discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, critical discourse
studies, media studies, multimodality and social semiotics. We welcome
contributions addressing the concepts of stance, identity and leadership in
discourses on/of war, but submissions focusing on the war in Ukraine are
particularly encouraged.

Suggested areas of scholarly discussion include, but are not limited to, the
following:
▪ Construction of identity and leadership in war-related discourse
▪ War-related stance-taking practices in public discourse and social media
▪ Conceptualisations of crisis, conflict and aggression and their discursive
manifestations
▪ War and emotion-sharing on social media
▪ Evaluation and authority in war-related discourse
▪ Rhetorical strategies in pro-war and against-war discourse
▪ War narratives in online and offline settings
▪ War rhetoric, political propaganda and manipulation
▪ Risk communication in times of war
▪ Individual and collective beliefs about war and peace
▪ War and multimodal communication


Call for Papers:

If you would like to participate in the session, please submit your proposals
for 20-minute papers (app. 200 words) together with short biographical notes
(up to 100 words) via the submission portal at: https://april.confer.uj.edu.pl
