DESIRE, the centre for the study of Democracy, Signification and 
Resistance 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:

-The discursive and the material
-Discourse theoretical perspectives on political economy
-Discourse theoretical perspectives on health, ageing, and the body
-Populist discourses and discourses about populism
-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 at 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.

University/University Vienna) and Michael Freeden (Oxford).

Cleen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Edina Doci (Vrije Universiteit
