Subject: Symposium: Reassessing 'the Critical' in CDS


We would like to invite you to a 2-day symposium called "Reassessing
'the Critical' in CDS".

In 1991, Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) was launched as a scholarly
research project when scholars including Norman Fairclough, Teun A.
van Dijk, Theo van Leeuwen, Ruth Wodak, among others, gathered to
outline ways of doing discourse-analytical research with a view to
unravelling how opaque ideological beliefs penetrate public text and
talk, ending up (re)producing power inequalities and problems in
societies.

More than thirty years later, the Symposium "Reassessing the Critical
in CDS" brings together scholars to reflect on 'hot topics' related to
the approach. These include reflections on CDS as an
institutional(ised) field within the structures of modern neoliberal
academia, the role of immanent or prognostic critique and separation
of CDS from Discourse Studies, self-reflection and positioning in
global applications of CDS, among other aspects. A round table on the
second day will try and draw lessons from the panels.

The Symposium will take place on 21 and 22 March in Lugano,
Switzerland, hosted by the Università della Svizzera Italiana. The
symposium will be live-streamed and online participation will be
encouraged.

Speakers and discussants come from both inside and outside the CDS
tradition: Michal Krzyzanowski, Eleonora Esposito, Samuel Bennett,
Viviane de Melo Resende, Bernhard Forchtner, Crispin Thurlow, Theresa
Catalano, Dimitris Serafis, Salomi Boukala, Stavros Assimakopoulos,
Benno Herzog, Audrey Alejandro, Chris Hart, and Jolanta Drzewiecka.
