The CfP for our DN35 Conference ”Mapping and Countering Authoritarian Discourses“ in Opole, Poland, 25–26 February 2027, is now open.
During DN35, we want to reflect on (neo)authoritarianism today, its role in public discourse, and its impact on contemporary politics. We want to map the discursive construction of the (neo)authoritarian appeal across the Global North and South, and the ways in which they can be counteracted. We welcome a wide range of methodologies and approaches to researching these issues, including critical political, psychological, and post-structuralist #DiscourseAnalysis, #CorpusLinguistics, and #RhetoricalAnalysis.

Language people use tells you a lot about them. When people write what public figures have said in speeches, use the term "rant," it positions the writer in certain negative ways to me. I love language. Words are more a window into the soul than the eyes, I think.

Creating certainty where there is none: Artificial intelligence as political concept
Cristóbal Garibay-Petersen Marta Lorimer, and Bayar Menzat
(Big Data & Society)
"Recent developments in research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have prompted a growing politicisation of AI. In this paper, we critically analyse how AI is being construed in public discourse and with what political implications. Approaching AI as a mobilising political concept, and focusing on the public pronouncements made by influential tech commentators, we identify and subject to technical and critical scrutiny four key themes in contemporary discourses on AI. First, we show how AI discourses endorse anthropological commitments that create false equivalences between human and artificial intelligence, and suggest that all are equally affected by AI. Second, we demonstrate that AI discourses unproblematically indulge in agential constructs, which ascribe agency to AI while obfuscating the role of humans in its development. Third, we explain how the economic assumptions made by these discourses support specific political interests. Finally, we show that discourses on AI endorse a set of temporal assumptions that reduce the space for democratic intervention. We conclude that AI is becoming more than what its ‘technical’ specifications would warrant; however, this is happening in a way that limits the space for democratic engagement with, and control of, the technology itself."

Are you interested in the study of discourse? Our online seminar on #truth and #critique is open for graduate students and early-career researchers who want to deepen their theoretical understanding of #discourse and to develop their discourse research projects.
In this new cycle of our discussion, which started in fall 2024, we will focus on the question of #power, truth and critique. The core group consists of Irene Ktori, Michael Schmidlehner, Thiago Augusto Pereira, Adel Tayebi, Johannes Angermuller. Members of the group work on ideas such as the discursive construction of technology (Adel), family policies (Irene) truth and #postTruth discourse (Johannes), environment and psychoanalysis (Michael), right-wing book publishers (Thiago).

New article: Ethos Without Source: Algorithmic Identity and the Simulation of Credibility
We examine 1,500 AI-generated texts that simulate authority without traceable sources. Results show synthetic ethos is engineered—not accidental.

I am slowly but surely enjoying Reiner Keller's "Sociology of knowledge approach to discourse". I highly appreciate the level of care towards what is identified/extracted and taken for real. However, as with any other sociological framework, the position of the analyst remains problematic.
Even if one masters the analytical practice, communicating it remains problematic, as language must be used to do so. Traditionally, sociologists attempt to find a new form of language, which often becomes increasingly abstract and incomprehensible.
I wonder what the alternative would be: expressing analytical insights in every possible language or discursive logic (which is practically impossible), or at least in those connected to the analysis. Language translation or 'elif' could be examples of this. However, I also consider 'speaking in your terms' when communicating with individuals from different backgrounds.

🔗 https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/92543/1/9780198904724.pdf
In this book, the authors argue that governments' refugee #policies and #opposition parties' stances are largely shaped by how they frame both their country's collective #identity and the identity of refugees.
