Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Pragmatics

Meeting Description:

The congress will be organized between July 7th and July 10th 2025, at
the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). The 6th DiscourseNet Congress
(DNC6) focuses on the discursive construction of social and political
imaginaries. It offers a forum to discuss how social actors imagine
and articulate past, present and future societies in a world marked by
multiple and overlapping crises.

DNC6 welcomes contributions of authors who explore ontological,
theoretical, and methodological aspects of imaginaries that may
(re)shape our societies. We also welcome analyses and case studies of
specific imaginaries circulating in our mediatized societies. These
may focus on linguistic, textual, narrative, visual, multimodal,
and/or ideological articulations of social and political imaginaries.

This conference is open to discourse scholars from all disciplines, as
well as to other scholars in the humanities and social sciences
working on (aspects of) the imaginaries that allow us to make sense of
and shape our realities. DNC6 offers an interdisciplinary forum for
discussing imaginaries and the discursive construction of old and new
(inter)national (dis)orders.

More information can be found on the conference website
https://discourseanalysis.net/DNC6 (in English, French, Spanish and
Portuguese).

The DNC6 congress offers keynotes by Annette Knaut, Alister Miskimmon
and Michał Krzyżanowski.

Michał Krzyżanowski is Chair in Media & Communications at Uppsala
University, where he is also Deputy Head of School of Informatics &
Media and Director of Research at the Centre for Multidisciplinary
Studies of Racism. He is known internationally for his
interdisciplinary work on critical discourse studies of communication,
media and social change with special focus on discourses and
imaginaries of crisis, inequality, discrimination and exclusion.
Michał is editor in chief of the Journal of Language & Politics, one
of the leading journals in discourse studies. See also:

Keynote lecture (provisional title): Retrotopias & Past-to-Future
Dis/Continuities: Temporal Scales in/as Strategies of Normalisation in
Contemporary Illiberal & Neoliberal Discourse. 

Annette Knaut (Augsburg University) is a cultural scientist and
sociologist. She is currently working on her ‘Habilitation’ at
Augsburg University, Germany. In this work Annette develops a new
imaginary of public spaces, called Transcultural Public Spheres, by
re-reading and counter-reading common social science concepts of
publics and spaces with postcolonial literature. Annette is engaged in
different research networks of post- and decolonial thinking as well
as discourse studies. Her research lies at the intersection of social
science theory, discourse research, gender studies, as well as
cultural and postcolonial studies. Keynote lecture: Creating future
imaginaries in a world of discursive upheavals. A sociology of
knowledge approach to discourse.

Alister Miskimmon is Professor of International Relations at Queen’s
University Belfast. His research focuses on strategic narratives and
International Relations. He has published two books on these themes
with Ben O’Loughlin and Laura Roselle entitled, Strategic Narratives:
Communication Power and the New World Order (2013) and Forging the
World: Strategic Narratives in International Relations (2017). The
title of his keynote will be announced soon on the DNC6 website.
