La deuxième édition du colloque Discours et Contexte, entitled “Discursive Forms and Changing Contexts: Cross-Perspectives,” explores the transformations of discursive practices in an era marked by globalization, digital technologies and fluid identities. It questions the reconfiguration of discourse in the face of social, cultural and media changes, as well as its functions of legitimation, identity construction and the organization of power relations. The conference examines the diversity and hybridization of discursive forms in various spheres and encourages interdisciplinary dialogue and the renewal of methodological approaches.

Proposals for papers may address, among others, the following thematic axes:

  • Axis 1: Conceptualizations and transformations of discursive forms
  • Axis 2: Discursive forms and social change
  • Axis 3: Media, informational and communicational discourses: disinformation and misinformation
  • Axis 4: Discursive forms and the construction of identities
  • Axis 5: Discourse and power relations
  • Axis 6: Institutional, educational and scientific discourses
  • Axis 7: Artistic and cultural discourses
  • Axis 8: Discursive forms and plurilingualism
  • Axis 9: Methods and tools for the analysis of discursive forms
  • Axis 10: Interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to discursive forms

Languages of the conference
The working languages of the conference are French, Arabic and English.
