GGS Annual Conference 2018 "Discourse, Power, Subjectivation"

The 2018 GGS annual Conference wasorganised by the research section Cultures of the Political. Under the topic "Discourse, Power, Subjectivation" the conference took place from September 12 until 14, 2018.


Discourse Studies cover a growing field of interdisciplinary research on meaning making practices, communicative activities and symbolic representations. Cultural studies, linguistics, media analysis, geography, and history, among others, highlight the role of texts, pictures and language in the constitution of truth and reality. Actor-oriented disciplines such as political science, sociology, pedagogy or economics and management studies are interested in the formation of subjectivities, identities and agencies. Focussing on the nexus of discourse, power and subjectivation this conference aims to bring different strands from the interdisciplinary field of Discourse Studies into dialogue.
