Journal Culture, Language and Representation seeks contributions for volume 9 to
be published in May 2011.
The issue will be devoted to:

The interface between politics and discursive practices.

The events having taken place in the first decade of the XXIst century, the
11-S, the war on Irak, the 11-M in Spain, or the global economic crisis, have
conditioned political strategies and particularly how they are to be presented
to the citizens. In recent times, there has been in the USA a displacement of
the rhetoric of ?the war on terror? to that of ?Yes, we can?, conceived not
just as a way of distinguishing political ideologies, but also as the
battleground for controlling the production of symbolic narratives and power
relations. Thus, the exploration of new alliances between discursive practices
and politics appears today as a major topic to be addressed in order to
understand the construction of social reality at a time of crisis and
uncertainty.
Possible topics for analysis would include, but are not by any means reduced
to:

-       Critical discourse analysis of political rhetoric.
-       Ideology and representation in political discourse.
-       The interface of political discourse and the media.
-       The role of social networking in conforming political discourse.
-       The internet and political campaigning: new rhetorical strategies.
- Representations of power and politics in the Arts, literature and cinema.
-       Countercultural discourses and their dissemination in society.
- The construction of social reality at the interface of political discourse,
sources of power and the media.

Both theoretical articles and case studies are welcome.

Deadline for submissions is: September 10th, 2010.

CLR is currently indexed in: Latindex, MLA, IBZ-IBR, ABELL, ISOC.
