The Centre of Discourse Studies is pleased to announce the II International Symposium: Discourses of Power, Resistance and Reaction in the Global Era. The purpose of the symposium is to offer an interdisciplinary and international platform for dialogue and exchange on the ideological and discursive tensions shaping today’s polarized world.
The symposium will be structured in the following three thematic days:
- "Discourses of far-right political groups and reactionary movements: construction of the enemy, victimization, and radicalization"
- "Social movement discourses: strategies of resistance, rearticulation, and construction of the commons"
- "Human rights as a discursive field in dispute: resignifications, appropriations, and exclusions"
The program includes daily keynote lectures, roundtable discussions, and sessions featuring selected paper presentations. The official languages of the event are English and Spanish.
We invite presentation proposals (in English or Spanish) of papers aligned with one of the three thematic lines of the symposium specified above.
