'Decolonising Critical Discourse Studies'


http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/ah/rcds-decolonizing-2q2018




Deadline: 31 August 2018



Regarding an already consolidated tradition in discourse studies in the 
Global South, with featured importance in graduate programs and a busy 
calendar of annual events in the field, it is possible to say that there 
is considerable amount of imported knowledge being applied and very 
little creativity in local theoretical or methodological production. 
This issue of Critical Discourse Studies seeks to address this 
particular problem, relating coloniality of knowledge, power and being 
to research and teaching in the field of discourse analysis. Themes to 
be addresses in candidate papers could be related to:

-issues of identity and social relations: how does the coloniality of 
knowledge, power and being impact our self-perception as academics and 
our relationships with our peers?
-questions of research themes: how does the coloniality of knowledge, 
power and being impact on the selections of themes we approach in 
research, and blocks other possible themes anchored in our particular 
contexts?
-theoretical questions: how the coloniality of knowledge, power and 
being imposes theoretical choices, not always the most pertinent to our 
research themes? How does the coloniality of knowledge, power, and being 
impact on the possibilities of theoretical creation in the field, 
crystallizing canons and blocking change?
-methodological questions: considering the interest in discourse as 
language in situated social practices, to what extent can the categories 
of linguistic analysis be considered as universal? How does the 
coloniality of knowledge, power, and being impact on the possibilities 
of methodological creation in the field, crystallizing canons and 
blocking change?
-pedagogical questions: how does the coloniality of knowledge, power and 
being impact our pedagogical action? To what extent does our teaching 
practice contribute to the maintenance of the coloniality of the field 
and the reproduction of theories and methods?
-questions of resistance: reflections on the spaces of change and the 
opportunities of facing coloniality by means of discourse/ discourse 
analysis
-thematic issues related to colonial heritage, and discussed from 
decolonial thinking: subalternities of race, class, gender and sexuality 
investigated through discourse analysis - violence, resistance, 
historical continuities, coloniality of institutions, blockades of 
access to institutional spaces
