Discourse Network

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DiskursNetz is an international association of discourse research, which serves the promotion, representation and networking especially of social and linguistic working discourse researchers.

DiskursNetz was founded as an international association in Paris in September 2019 after having existed as a network for over ten years. The founding board consists of 17 people and is coordinated by Johannes Angermuller. DiskursNetz emerged in 2010 from the network for young scientists "Networks Methodologies and Methods of Discourse Analysis" (MeMeDa), which was funded by the German Research Foundation from 2008 to 2010 . DiskursNetz is supported by the DISCONEX project funded by the European Research Council. DiskursNetz is particularly associated with a “second generation” of discourse researchers, with whom new approaches such as French propositional analysis and hegemony analysis have found their way into discourse research in Germany . Overall, DiskursNetz is also important for the networking of linguistically oriented approaches with more sociological, historical and interpretative approaches such as ethnography, knowledge-sociological discourse analysis and governmentality research. In addition, DiskursNetz contributed to firmly establishing discourse analysis in Germany as an interdisciplinary research area.

The network organizes thematic workshops (DiskursNetz events) in connection with the half-yearly working meetings of the network. Around 30 national and international events were organized between 2008 and 2020. Network meetings took place in Berlin, Paris, Bern and Warwick, among others. From 2015 there were also winter schools in Valencia and Pamplona as well as international congresses in Bremen and Warwick. The DiskursNetz events have a broad impact and are discussed in the specialist public.

"Diskursanalysis.net"

One component of DiskursNetz is the design of the website diskursanalyse.net as an information and work platform for discourse researchers. In addition to the 1,800 publicly listed discourse researchers, the website claims to have a total of 6,000 registered users.

The website is used by various groups for external presentation and internal communication. In addition to DiskursNetz itself, the ERC DISCONEX team , the “Network of Knowledge-Sociological Discourse Analysis”, the “Discourse Power Science” group, the GERAS and the “Sociologie du langage” working group can be found here . The website also contains the “Interactive Bibliography of Discourse Analysis” - a bibliography of publications on discourse analysis. The wiki-based page is also used for collaborative writing and reviewing articles, etc. a. for the DiskursNetz dictionary.

Publications

In addition to publications based on DiskursNetz events, two larger publications on discourse analysis have emerged from DiskursNetz. The DiskursNetz dictionary, which provides an overview of the terms used in the field of discourse research, has been published by Suhrkamp Verlag . Ben Kaden from the Center for Technology and Society at the TU Berlin describes the DiskursNetz dictionary as “currently an almost indispensable reference work if you are currently doing discourse research in whatever discipline”, but criticizes that it is not “Open Access and dynamically expanded”. and networkable ”was published. The dictionary brings together over a hundred authors, including Ruth Wodak , Jürgen Link , Ulrich Bröckling , Theo Van Leeuwen, Rainer Diaz-Bone and Slavoj Žižek .

In addition, a two-volume handbook on interdisciplinary discourse research has been published, which presents the methodological foundations and various methodological approaches based on example studies on the discourse on university reforms. 50 authors contributed to the manual, which has more than 1250 pages. It forms the first volume of the "DiskursNetz" series published by Johannes Angermuller , Martin Nonhoff , Eva Herschinger, Felicitas Macgilchrist, Martin Reisigl, Juliette Wedl, Daniel Wrana and Alexander Ziem by transcript Verlag .
