Postdisciplinary Studies in Discourse

Race, Religion, Royalty in Malaysia

Discursively Reproduced, Resisted, Renegotiated

A Guide to Identifying Antisemitism Online

Decoding Antisemitism

This book examines the radicalisation of political discourse in Latin America, where historical grievances and media ecosystems shape social imaginaries and political practices. It is organised into four parts.&nbsp;Part I: Introduction&nbsp;sets the research context.&nbsp;Part II: Critical Apparatus&nbsp;provides the analytical foundation, addressing the theologisation of politics, hate discourses, and subjectivation processes.&nbsp;Part III: Case Studies&nbsp;offers detailed analyses of Argentina’s libertarian populism and anti-statist narratives, Peru’s far-right manipulation of historical memory and religious rhetoric, Chile’s post-social uprising dynamics, marked by nationalist resurgence and institutional conservatism, and Brazil’s denialism and media spectacle during the Bolsonaro era. Finally,&nbsp;Part IV: Epilogue&nbsp;reflects on the broader implications for discourse analysis and sociopolitical inquiry. This book dissects the linguistic mechanisms behind these phenomena and poses critical questions for further research. Its interdisciplinary approach will appeal to experts in sociology, political science, and discourse studies, fostering a deeper understanding of Latin America’s complex sociopolitical landscape.Diego Rivera López is pursuing a PhD in Sociology at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and in Social Sciences at Universitat de València, Spain. He holds Master’s degrees in Philosophy and Sociology. His research bridges discourse analysis, political philosophy, and sociological theory, focusing on the radicalisation of political discourse and the influence of media ecosystems in Latin America. Júlio Antonio Bonatti Santos holds a PhD in Linguistics from UFSCar, Brazil and is completing a PhD in Social Sciences at Universitat de València, Spain. His research focuses on the history of intellectuals, economic thought, and political history. He has published widely and is a board member of the International Association for Discourse Studies (DiscourseNet).Fabián Bustamante Olguín&nbsp;is an academic at the Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile. He holds a PhD in Sociology from Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Chile and Master's and Bachelor’s degrees in History.

This book focuses on the multifarious aspects of ‘fuzzy boundaries’ in the field of discourse studies, a field that is marked by complex boundary work and a great degree of fuzziness regarding theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and the use of linguistic categories. Discourse studies is characterised by a variety of theoretical frameworks and disciplinary fields,&nbsp;research methodologies, and&nbsp;lexico-grammatical categories. The contributions in this book explore some of the nuances and implications of the fuzzy boundaries in these areas, resulting in a wide-reaching volume which will be of interest to students and scholars of discourse studies in fields including sociology, linguistics, international relations, philosophy, literary criticism and anthropology.&nbsp; Péter B.

Fuzzy Boundaries in Discourse Studies

This book revisits discourse analytic practice, analyzing the idea that the field has access to, provides, or even constitutes a ‘toolbox’ of methods. The precise characteristics of this toolbox have remained largely un-theorized, and the author discusses the different sets of tools and their combinations, particularly those that cut across traditional divides, such as those between disciplines or between quantitative and qualitative methods. The author emphasizes the potential value of integrating methods in terms of triangulation and its specific benefits, arguing that current trends in Open Science require Discourse Studies to re-examine its methodological scope and choices, and move beyond token acknowledgements of ‘eclecticism’. In-depth case studies supplement the methodological discussion and demonstrate the challenges and benefits of triangulation. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in Discourse Studies, particularly those with an interest in combining methods and working across disciplines.Markus Rheindorf is Senior Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department for Linguistics at the University of Vienna, Austria.

New Trajectories in Methodology, Open Data, and Visualization

Revisiting the Toolbox of Discourse Studies

This book offers an interactionist perspective on theories of public representation, knowledge and immigration in museum institutions. Examining how a Franco-German museum exhibition represents immigrants and exposes public stereotypes, the analysis follows the process of the production and reception of the exhibition as it travelled from Paris to Berlin. The author proposes a microsociological contextualisation analysis integrating discourse analysis and ethnography to compare formats of museum work, social interaction in the exhibition and mass media debates. Visitor reception of the different exhibition versions reveal the symbolic nature of interactions in museums, for example concerning conflicting political voices and accusations of censorship. Depending on the institutional context, interactions in the museums are geared towards securing immigrants a place in national collective memory, towards carrying out debate on integration, or providing opportunities for personal encounters and reflection beyond national categorisation. This book will appeal to students and researchers interested in work on the intersection of sociology, cultural studies, and discursive psychology, in methods of discourse analysis and ethnography; and to practitioners working in museums.

Investigates how the representation of foreigners in museum exhibitions on immigrant history is seen by the audience, and what it reveals about the national self Sheds light on how museum staff, visitors, academics, journalists and politicians publicly exhibit images of immigrants Combines conversation analysis, discourse analysis and ethnography to analyse large amounts of exhibition data in different institutional contexts

Public Representations of Immigrants in Museums

This book fills a significant gap in the field by addressing the topic of absence in discourse. It presents a range of proposals as to how we can identify and analyse what is absent, and promotes the empirical study of absence and silence in discourse. The authors argue that these phenomena should hold a more central position in the field of discourse, and discuss these two topics at length in this innovative edited collection. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis.&nbsp; Melani Schröter is Associate Professor in German Linguistics at the University of Reading, UK, and the author of Silence and Concealment in Political Discourse (2013). Her research interests include political discourse analysis, silence and absence in discourse and communication, comparative analyses of European migration discourses, and discourses of resistance.&nbsp;&nbsp;Charlotte Taylor is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Sussex, UK, and Editor of CADAAD Journal. Her research specialisms include impoliteness implicatures, and discourses of migration, and she has a longstanding interest in methodological issues. &nbsp;

Empirical Approaches

Exploring Silence and Absence in Discourse

This book presents the original concept of the ‘dispositif of age’, combining post-Foucauldian analytics of the dispositif, discourse and governmentality with the historical semantics of Reinhart Koselleck to explore the functions of the notion of youth in the regulation of social life. Making use of examples from sources including scientific and media statements, youth policy programmes, and strategies at international (European) and local (Polish) levels, the author shows how this concept of youth supports processes of social regulation and contributes to the implementation of political goals as specific responses to issues such as radicalization and violence, unemployment, and economic crisis. This book will be of interest not only to scholars of discourse and youth studies, but also to all post-Foucauldian researchers with an interest in going beyond simple 'applicationism'.Helena Ostrowicka is Associate Professor and Chair of Research Methodology and Discourse Studies at Casimirus the Great University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. She is interested in the issues of broadly understood educational, youth, and scientific policy. She focuses on exploring the post-Foucauldian perspective in the analysis of discourse, and the relations of knowledge and power in four institutional contexts: education, science, politics, and the media.

Discourses on the Youth and the Dispositif of Age

Regulating Social Life

This book undertakes a systematic analysis of the workings of ideology in discourse, using an interdisciplinary approach that links language, cognition and society. Through examination of two corpora - a collection of British newspaper articles and a set of political speeches - the author examines Britain's involvement in the Iraq War (2003), and critically assesses the language practices which constructed a pro-war ideology under Tony Blair's premiership. Drawing on a constellation of concepts from van Dijk's socio-cognitive model, this book carries out both qualitative and quantitative analyses and conceptualises discourse as a nonlinear, highly discursive and socio-cognitive phenomenon. This innovative work will appeal to students and scholars of Cognitive Linguistics, Quantitative Linguistics, Social Constructivism, Critical Discourse Analysis, Political Sciences and Communication Studies.

A Socio-Cognitive Study of Warfare Discourse in Britain

Language and the Complex of Ideology

This book provides an overview of a range of quantitative methods, presenting a thorough analytical toolbox which will be of practical use to researchers across the social sciences as they face the challenges raised by new technology-driven language practices. The book is driven by a reflexive mind-set which views quantifying methods as complementary rather than in opposition to qualitative methods, and the chapters analyse a multitude of different intra- and extra-textual context levels essential for the understanding of how meaning is (re-)constructed in society. Uniting contributions from a range of national and disciplinary traditions, the chapters in this volume bring together state-of-the-art research from British, Canadian, French, German and Swiss authors representing the fields of Political Science, Sociology, Linguistics, Computer Science and Statistics. It will be of particular interest to discourse analysts, but also to other scholars working in the digital humanities and with big data of any kind.&nbsp; Ronny Scholz coordinates the ERC-funded DISCONEX project on academic discourses at the University of Warwick, UK. His work focuses on the question of legitimisation of power in political discourses especially in the post-democratic era. He uses lexicometric tools as quantifying heuristic helping to explore new perspectives in various corpora of political discourse.

Quantifying Approaches to Discourse for Social Scientists

This book offers an innovative approach to analysing written texts, grounded in principles of semiotics. Envisaging whole news media representations as ‘signs’, and using the real-world example of the BP Deepwater Horizon crisis, the author demonstrates how business crises are constructed through language. Gravells identifies patterns of language which show a progression from one kind of ‘current news’ representation to a different kind of coverage. &nbsp;This coverage positions the crisis as having symbolic and conventional meaning within varied social contexts, including the arts, business and the environment. Using a wealth of examples from the BP story to illustrate her practical research approach, Gravells draws ‘language maps’ of different phases of the crisis representation, showing how an early ‘iconic’ phase of representation moves through an ‘indexical’ to a ‘symbolic’ phase, and projects a return to a ‘naturalised icon’. &nbsp;This book will be of interest to researchers andstudents of semiotics, those exploring research methods and linguists with an interest in business and media communications.

This book presents developments of discourse analysis in France and applies its tools to key texts from five theorists of structuralism: Lacan, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida and Sollers. It pays special attention to enunciative pragmatics as a poststructuralist approach which analyzes the discursive construction of subjectivity.

Die Philosophie kennt nicht nur Gottesbeweise, sondern auch Versuche, die Existenz Gottes durch geeignete Argumente zu widerlegen. Ist es nicht unwahrscheinlich oder sogar unmöglich, dass Phänomene wie Naturkatastrophen, Krankheiten und schwere Verbrechen mit der Existenz eines Gottes vereinbar sind? Und lässt sich überhaupt widerspruchsfrei von etwas sagen, dass es allmächtig oder allwissend sei? Falls nicht, wäre es bereits begrifflich unmöglich, dass es einen Gott geben kann. Der Band dokumentiert und kommentiert die faszinierendsten klassischen wie aktuellen Gotteswiderlegungen.

Polen ist nicht das einzige Land in Europa, das von Rechtspopulisten regiert wird. Doch die Gespenster der Vergangenheit drängen hier mit besonderer Impertinenz an die Macht. Das liegt, so die These des Essays, an der Wirkmächtigkeit des Untergrunds. Widerstand gegen Fremdherrschaft, Besatzung und Krieg - man denke an den Untergrundstaat im Zweiten Weltkrieg oder die klandestin operierende Solidarnosc-Bewegung -, ist zentral für das nationale Selbstverständnis, der assoziationsreiche Grund, auf dem die Partei Recht und Gerechtigkeit (PiS) ihre Herrschaft errichtet: Untergrund macht Staat. Ist der Untergrund und mit ihm das Subversive, Widerständige nun für immer vergiftet? Oder gibt es neue, transnational orientierte Bürgerbewegungen »von unten«?

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter

This book provides an introduction to the cultural and intellectual exchanges and conflicts between Islam and Christianity since the seventh century. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the rich history of active cultural contact between Islam and Christianity in Europe and the Middle East, despite periods of conflict since the Arab Conquest of Byzantium. The book highlights the positive traditions of cultural and political partnership that resulted in the exchange of vital religious and philosophical ideas and values. Such partnerships not only introduced the Arabs to the great monuments of Greek philosophy, science and medicine, but also ensured the cultural recurrence of Greek culture, culminating in the Latin Renaissance of the fourteenth and fifteenth century.

Historical Encounter of Civilizations: Islam, Christianity and the West

"Mulki Al-Sharmani examines the goals, approaches and methodologies which key scholars have adopted in their efforts at crafting an Islamic feminist discourse. Al-Sharmani also shows that Islamic feminism is a phenomenon which extends far beyond academia. Drawing on the author's own extensive research and interviews with women in Egypt, the UK, Malaysia, Finland and elsewhere, the book explores how ordinary Muslim women in both the West and the Islamic world are increasingly asserting their autonomy and challenging patriarchal interpretations of their religion, as well as exploring the linkages between Islamic feminist scholarship and the realities of these women's lived experiences"--

An incisive study of Islamic feminist scholarship and of the role of ordinary Muslim women in shaping Islamic attitudes, which upends many of our preconceptions about the religion.
