> The idea is that the student should get a grasp of the most
> important aspects
> of the theory and to be able to use discourse theoretical concepts
> such as
> articulation, dislocation and equivalence/difference in analyses in
> empirical
> research. To be able to do that the seminar aims to:
> (1) focus on the central arguments in Laclau’s discourse theory;
> (2) relate these to other theoretical traditions and
> (3) develop an operational discourse theoretical approach.
>
> To illustrate the theoretical arguments, two cases will be
> presented: one on
> new ideological frontiers dealing with identity politics in
> relation to
> right/left, and the other on Jyllandsposten’s Muhammad cartoons and
> the
> crisis it triggered in 2005-2006. We will also discuss meta-
> theoretical
> issues related to models of explanation, subjectivism/objectivism
> and the
> question of relativism.
> Ph.D students are welcome to present papers, which will be
> circulated among
> the participants in the seminar.
> They should be sent to the organisers not later than Monday 21 May.
