*About the course*

*Course Title:* Discourse Studies and Method: Using Discourse-Theoretical Analysis and Discursive-Material Analysis


*Course Coordinator and Leader:* Professor Nico Carpentier


*Course Credits:* 5 credits

*Course background and purpose*

The course aims to discuss two methods in the field of discourse studies: Discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) and Discursive-material analysis (DMA). Both are grounded in so-called high theory, with discourse theory as its main starting point, but with elements of actor network theory and new materialism. This course will start with an introduction to these theoretical models, but will then move on to their analytical deployment in communication and media studies research.


Special attention will be spent on the creation of a theory-grounded analytical model to guide the research. Apart from attending lectures, participants will be expected to participate in both theoretical and research-driven workshops.



*Learning outcomes*

On completion of this course, successful students will be able to:

  * have a deeper understanding of the field of discourse studies, and
    in particular of its discourse-theoretical component
  * have a deeper understanding of the theoretical relationship between
    the discursive and the material
  * know how to translate discourse-theoretical models into analytical
    practice, through the use of the notion of the sensitising concept
    (applied to discourse theory, and to discourse-theoretical rereading
    of other theories)
  * set up an analytical model for a discourse-theoretical analysis and
    a discursive-material analysis


*Teaching*

The one-week course will be organised in 10 teaching slots, combining lectures and workshops. These workshops are partially theoretical (presenting an article or chapter), and partially research-driven (presenting an analytical model).



*Available participant slots and costs*

A total number of 20 participant slots are available. The participation fee is 50 euros and only covers course attendance. Participants are required to pay themselves for their travel and accommodation costs, and all other expenses.


*Registration*

The deadline for the application submission is 1 July 2023.

To register for this course, the following three documents have to be submitted:

  * A motivation letter
  * A brief description/abstract of the ongoing (PhD) research
    (including the current stage of the research)
  * A CV (including information about your university affiliation and
    your contact information)

Please send all documents and queries to Mazlum Kemal Dağdelen at <(mazlum.dagdelen /at/ fsv.cuni.cz) <mailto:(mazlum.dagdelen /at/ fsv.cuni.cz)>> or use the form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdb7Dv_8XtY3HpJcubQ5uEeiDkmdRlDWoGoPcUfM0AvT1V29Q/viewform> on the course webpage for submission.
