Meeting Description:

We are pleased to invite submissions for an interdisciplinary
conference exploring the dynamics of negotiating political,
ideological, and social positions within national and global contexts.
The conference will focus on processes of radicalization,
mainstreaming, and reconciliation in discourse, politics, and social
interactions. This conference invites scholars from the research
fields of discourse studies, discourse analysis, political science,
international relations, law, sociology, communication studies, social
psychology, and linguistics to explore these questions through various
theoretical and empirical lenses. We encourage contributions that
investigate these dynamics from both national and global perspectives,
as well as historical and contemporary case studies. The conference
will be held in-person at ICS, University of Navarra (Pamplona,
Spain).

Call for Papers:

International Symposium: From the extremes to the centre and back
again? Radicalisation, mainstreaming and reconciliation in local,
national and global context (5th-7th of June, 2025)

Instituto Cultura y Sociedad (ICS),Public Discourse Research
Group,Universidad de Navarra, Spain

Different actors, such as political parties, political figures, and
the media, occupy distinct positions within the public sphere, and
these varying spaces can shape their behaviour and discourse in
diverse ways. Those within mainstream circles benefit from extensive
exposure, which may make them appear more secure or legitimate to the
public. However, this visibility also subjects them to heightened
scrutiny, often prompting them to adopt less risky positions or employ
more nuanced rhetoric. In contrast, actors on the margins may be less
recognizable to a wider audience and, consequently, face less public
criticism. This can enable them to take clearer and, at times, more
confrontational or unfiltered discursive approaches.
These positions are highly fluid, and what once existed on the margins
may become mainstream, and vice versa. These processes, whether
occurring by chance or design, are observable in their discourse. For
example, politicians operating on the margins for a long time will
likely adapt their discourse when becoming mainstream, either by
mitigating, transforming, or concealing aspects of their ideology, or
by linguistically adjusting their discourse. At the same time, the
centrifugal and centripetal forces that redistribute positions in the
public sphere also affect political actors who have not undertaken
significant shifts in position. In some contexts, polarization occurs
within traditionally mainstream political parties in response to new
movements from the margins.
The complexities of these processes need to be addressed across
various disciplines.

We are pleased to invite submissions for an interdisciplinary
conference exploring the dynamics of negotiating political,
ideological, and social positions within national and global contexts.
The conference will focus on processes of radicalization,
mainstreaming, and reconciliation in discourse, politics, and social
interactions. This conference invites scholars from the research
fields of discourse studies, discourse analysis, political science,
international relations, law, sociology, communication studies, social
psychology, and linguistics to explore these questions through various
theoretical and empirical lenses. We encourage contributions that
investigate these dynamics from both national and global perspectives,
as well as historical and contemporary case studies. The conference
