[Commlist] Call for Papers – DN35: Mapping and Countering Authoritarian Discourses

We invite submissions for the conference *DN35: */*Mapping and 
Countering Authoritarian Discourses*/, taking place on *25–26 February 
2027* at the University of Opole (Poland). The event is organized by the 
*University of Opole* and *DiscourseNet Association*, in cooperation 
with the *Polish Rhetoric Society*, the *Section for Social 
Communication Studies of the Polish Sociological Association*, and the 
*Opole Branch of the Polish Sociological Association*.
The conference aims to map discursive constructions of authoritarian 
appeal and explore strategies of countering them – from rhetorical and 
emotional mechanisms to the role of communication infrastructures, 
digital platforms, and AI-driven amplification.
We welcome contributions from scholars working in fields such as:
– critical discourse studies,
– rhetoric and argumentation,
– corpus linguistics,
– political communication,
– populism and emotion studies,
– digital authoritarianism and media infrastructures.
