DESIRE, the centre for the study of Democracy, Signification and Resistance (https://www.researchcentredesire.eu) is happy to invite you to submit paper proposals for the colloquium ‘Discourse Theory: Ways Forward’. The colloquium will take place on 7-8 February 2019 in Brussels. The colloquium starts on Thursday 7 February at 9.00 and ends on Friday 8 February at 17.30.

The aim of the colloquium is to critically and constructively consider where Discourse Theory is at this moment, and to reflect on ways forward for discourse theoretical approaches to society, politics, communication and media. In particular, the colloquium will focus on five topics:

1.The discursive and the material

2.Discourse theoretical perspectives on political economy

3.Discourse theoretical perspectives on health, ageing, and the body

4.Populist discourses and discourses about populism

5.Discourse theory and visuality

We invite paper proposals on any of these five topics that are based on a post-structuralist or post-foundationalist discursive approach, broadly defined. The deadline for paper proposals is 30 May 2018. Please send an abstract of around 300 words to bdecleen@vub.be <mailto:bdecleen@vub.be>. Please indicate clearly which of the five topics indicated above your paper fits with. If accepted, full papers of maximum 6000 words are expected by 20 December 2018.
