[Commlist] Symposium: Reassessing 'the Critical' in CDS

Symposium: Reassessing 'the Critical' in CDS

We would like to invite you to a 2-day symposium called "Reassessing 
'the Critical' in CDS".

In 1991, Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) was launched as a scholarly 
research project when scholars including Norman Fairclough, Teun A. van 
Dijk, Theo van Leeuwen, Ruth Wodak, among others, gathered to outline 
ways of doing discourse-analytical research with a view to unravelling 
how opaque ideological beliefs penetrate public text and talk, ending up 
(re)producing power inequalities and problems in societies.

More than thirty years later, the Symposium "Reassessing the Critical in 
CDS" brings together scholars to reflect on 'hot topics' related to the 
approach. These include reflections on CDS as an institutional(ised) 
field within the structures of modern neoliberal academia, the role of 
immanent or prognostic critique and separation of CDS from Discourse 
Studies, self-reflection and positioning in global applications of CDS, 
among other aspects. A round table on the second day will try and draw 
lessons from the panels.

The Symposium will take place on 21 and 22 March in Lugano, Switzerland, 
hosted by the Università della Svizzera Italiana. The symposium will be 
live-streamed and online participation will be encouraged.

Speakers and discussants come from both inside and outside the CDS 
tradition: Michal Krzyzanowski, Eleonora Esposito, Samuel Bennett, 
Viviane de Melo Resende, Bernhard Forchtner, Crispin Thurlow, Theresa 
Catalano, Dimitris Serafis, Salomi Boukala, Stavros Assimakopoulos, 
Benno Herzog, Audrey Alejandro, Chris Hart, and Jolanta Drzewiecka.
