[ecrea] Special Issue: Social Media Critical Discourse Studies

Sat Jun 30 18:57:04 GMT 2018




CfP*: Social Media Critical Discourse Studies*

Special Issue:*Journal of Critical Discourse Studies*

Guest Editor: *Majid KhosraviNik*, (Majid.KhosraviNik /at/ newcastle.ac.uk) <mailto:(Majid.KhosraviNik /at/ newcastle.ac.uk)>

The Journal of Critical Discourse Studies aims to publish critical research that advances our understanding of how discourse figures in social processes, social structures, and social change. This special issue is in response to changes in mediation technologies of discourse i.e. the techno-discursive re/deployments in the media industry brought about by the penetration, proliferation and concentration of discursive practices within communicative paradigm of social media (KhosraviNik 2017, 2018). The issue addresses this particular media context against a broadly defined field of Critical Discourse Studies. The special issue aspires to bring together studies which:

- Make theoretical and/or methodological contributions in response to challenges to CDS notions of discursive/media power, representation and ideology etc. as well as adaptations in approaches of accessing, analysing and interpreting discursive practices online.

- Consider social media communication as a new paradigm of communication as well as the spaces, locations and platforms for such communication.

- Critically unpack the nature of contemporary digital discourses beyond merely viewing social media as ‘data repositories’ i.e. engaging with changes in production and consumption of digital discourses.

- Engage with original, empirical and current case study analyses of various contemporary discourses in politics, culture, identity, etc.

- Make critical, fresh and meaningful transdisciplinary connections with social media theory.

- View discourse as forms of structured representations across a range of modalities of communication including the emerging meaning-making artefacts and practices on social media

- Clearly position the research within the core tenets of CDS i.e. its aspirations, assumptions and critique as well as engagement with social theory
