First 2018 edition of Discourse Studies and Method completed
On 9 February 2018, the one-week long PhD course on "Discourse Studies and Method: Using Discourse-Theoretical Analysis and Discursive-Material Analysis" was concluded.
The PhD course used the book The Discursive-Material Knot as starting point for a series of reflections on two methods in the field of discourse studies: Discourse-theoretical analysis (DTA) and Discursive-material analysis (DMA). Both are grounded in so-called high theory, with discourse theory as its main starting point, but with elements of actor network theory and new materialism.
14 participants (and two observers) worked together for a week, with a series of lectures and workshops organised by Nico Carpentier. Siddharth Chadha, a PhD student from the Department of Informatics and Media, also lectured during the PhD Course.
