CfP discourse theory

We are happy to invite you to submit paper proposals for a DESIRE-organized colloquium ‘Discourse Theory: Ways Forward’. The colloquium will take place on 7-8 February 2019 in Brussels. The colloquium starts on Thursday 7 February at 9.00 and ends on Friday 8 February at 17.30.
 
The aim of the colloquium is to critically and constructively consider where Discourse Theory is at this moment, and to reflect on ways forward for discourse theoretical approaches to society, politics, communication and media. In particular, the colloquium will focus on five topics: 

1. The discursive and the material
2. Discourse theoretical perspectives on political economy
3. Discourse theoretical perspectives on health, ageing, and the body
4. Populist discourses and discourses about populism 
5. Discourse theory and visuality

 
Speakers will consist of DESIRE members, a number of invited external speakers, and a number of external applicants.
