RC25 Language and Society (host committee) Language: English
This session addresses situated talk and interaction in contemporary welfare institutions, with specific attention to the entanglement of language, power and injustices. Papers are invited that are based on theoretically informed empirical studies within a variety of institutions and organizations, with a focus on the relation between text and talk, on the one hand, and societal and cultural contexts on the other hand.
Submissions may incorporate a range of methods and frameworks including, but not limited to, discourse approaches, narrative analysis, identities-in-interaction and conversation analysis.
Contributions dealing with counter-discourses and narratives of resistance developed by those categorized as “Others” will be especially welcome, as well as papers that highlight critical informed ways of collaborative and co-constructed knowledge-making.
