Call for Papers for the Symposium

Analyzing Discourse and Regimes of Power/Knowledge with the Sociology of 
Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) and Related Perspectives

on
the Second European Congress of Qualitative Inquiry 2018

at the University of Leuven (Belgium)

February 6-9, 2018

The symposium will discuss theoretical issues, methodology and empirical 
research on discourses and regimes of power/knowledge in different 
social areas, using the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse 
(SKAD) and related approaches. This perspective on discourses and their 
analysis draws on Foucault, Berger and Luckmann and the interpretative 
paradigm of sociology including symbolic interactionism and 
"communicative constructivism". In comparison to the Foucauldian 
tradition, SKAD focuses more on social actors and societal arenas of 
discursive disputes. In comparison to Berger & Luckmann, it expands 
analysis of societal processes of knowledge construction in 
institutional contexts and in public or semi-public arenas. Integrating 
both, it re-orientates discourse research towards questions of social 
relationships of knowledge and politics of knowledge - following 
knowledges, their production and power effects through societies. In 
doing so, SKAD takes also into account research  questions concerning 
Situational Analysis as conceived by Adele Clarke, and organizational 
discourse. The session invites researchers using the SKAD framework or 
close perspectives as Situational Analysis, to present their work and/or 
to discuss further perspectives.
