About the course: 'Discourse in society: analysing text and talk'

How do people communicate and make meaning as members of social groups? 
This is a question that has researchers have recourse to the theories 
and methods of Discourse Studies. Discourse can comprise text, talk as 
well as non-linguistic resources (such as images) and it designates the 
uses that is made of them in certain contexts. By studying discourse, we 
can learn how language is used to construct identities, exercise power, 
and represent social realities. Discourse analysis often deals with 
contemporary questions, such as discrimination of minorities in 
political communication (e.g. hate speech), the representation of social 
groups in the media (e.g. women in newspapers), the negotiation of 
identities in institutional settings (e.g. language and power in schools).
The workshop presents various perspectives on discourse with a 
particular focus on qualitative and quantitative methods. It will enable 
the participants to work on large or small collections of texts from 
corpus analysis to conversation analysis. There will be a chance for 
participants to engage with material such as newspaper articles, 
interviews or conversations. The course will deal with language in its 
intricate articulations with politics, gender and education.

The course level is equivalent to an undergraduate degree at 
intermediate level.
