The aim of DNS5 Summer School is to discuss theoretical frameworks, 
methodologies and methods of political discourse analysis in the context 
of diverse information channels in the global digital space.

Politics in the contemporary globalized world is inconceivable without 
media which shape and frame communicative practices, the process being 
commonly referred to as mediatization. Digital media abundance poses new 
challenges which are theorized in various interdisciplinary strands of 
research which attempt to understand recent political changes through 
analyzing effects of targeting, algorithmization, information bubbles, 
etc. Whereas optimists welcome new media opportunities for political 
thought and practice, skeptical voices raise issues of political 
manipulation and discuss possible consequences of ethical and 
epistemological relativism flourishing within the digital environment. 
There is a lack of common theoretical ground uniting socio-political, 
technological, and discursive perspectives. For this reason, a space for 
discussing and exploring the methodological crossroads of these 
disciplinary domains is needed. DNS5 Summer School is aimed to become 
such a space.

Scholars of different disciplinary backgrounds and research experience 
are invited to address issues of contemporary political discourse, 
media, and communication studies. We expect that participants of DNS5 
Summer School will get new insights and directions for their research.



WHO CAN APPLY?

Advanced MA and PhD students from various disciplinary backgrounds 
interested in research questions emerging at the crossroads of Discourse 
Studies, Media Theory and Political Communication Studies.



WHAT TO EXPECT?

Participants of the Summer School will present and discuss the 
methodological and theoretical challenges of their MA or PhD theses 
projects or first ideas and receive feedback from established and 
emerging scholars in the field. The school will provide a collaborative 
exchange and hands-on research experience in a rather informal workshop 
setting.
