THE REVIEW OF COMMUNICATION
SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
Critical Discourse Studies and/in Communication:
Theories, Methodologies, and Pedagogies at the Intersections
Guest Editors: Susana Martínez Guillem (University of New Mexico)
Christopher M. Toula (Georgia State University)
Even though by now Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) as an "enterprise" can be said to hold a secure place in academia as a whole, its presence in US communication departments is still not consistent. If anything, CDS remains a suspect "in betweener," drawing from distinct and incompatible traditions as they are understood in US-centered academic circles-an impression that has created important barriers to CDS's consolidation as a marketable enough "brand" of research in communication.
What are some of the tensions that inform these difficulties? Can we work with them in a productive way? If so, how? And what would the implications be for our research and teaching?
In this special issue we hope to address these and other questions, digging deeper into CDS as a potentially useful way to place theoretically-informed practices and practice-informed theories at the forefront of different areas in communication studies. We especially welcome projects that build and/or strengthen the connection between CDS and communication.
We invite submissions that focus on or cut across the following, as well as other, sub-themes:
Critical Discourse Studies' Theoretical Legacies and Futures in Communication
- Perils and possibilities of interdisciplinarity
- Established and alternative CDS keywords: concepts, authors, philosophical traditions
- CDS and/as critical project(s)
- Explicit political commitments and academic research
- Accounting for different sociopolitical and historical contexts
Methodological Considerations for Critical Discourse Studies and/in Communication
- CDS and other discourse-analytic approaches (Conversation Analysis, Discursive Psychology, Ethnography of Communication, Grounded Practical Theory, etc.)
- CDS within/across specific subareas in communication (Organizational, Intercultural, Environmental, Interpersonal, Media, etc.)
- Moving between micro and macro levels of analysis
- Researchers' explicit and implicit roles in analysis and critique
Pedagogical Considerations for Critical Discourse Studies and/in Communication
- Bringing new sites and practices into CDS (social media, social change, etc.)
- Activism and academia
- Bringing CDS into the classroom: teaching critical perspectives
