Abstract:

This volume offers a critical discursive-argumentative framework that
scrutinizes the discursive construction and, moreover, the
argumentative justification of authoritarian attitudes on newspaper
front pages in highly polarized times of multiple ‘crises’ in Greece.
At the same time, it aspires to outline novel research avenues for
scholars working in the fields of critical discourse and argumentation
studies, multimodality and communication studies, that go beyond the
study of the meaning potential of multimodal artifacts and focus on
the study of the argumentative inferences that are triggered by
multimodal discourses in polarized contexts. It frames the theoretical
discussion based on concepts such as Nikos Poulantzas’ ‘authoritarian
statism’ as well as Antonio Gramsci’s ‘hegemony’ and ‘intellectuals’.
Methodologically, it draws on the agenda of multimodal critical
discourse analysis, integrating principles and tools from social
semiotics and (multimodal) argumentation studies with a particular
focus on inference in argumentation.
